"More survivable, yes.  But with more tigers like you I can only imagine what the effect would be on the prey populations."<br/><br/>But now was the time for the tiny gryphon to really start paying attention.  The hunt was starting, and Fire barely realised it.  The tigers shifted so seamlessly from one mood to another it was nigh impossible to tell when one of the striped felines really was hunting.   After all, all the signs of hunting started with methods that were not detectable unless you really paid attention.<br/>Even still, Fire knew what to watch for, he thought, thanks to his own methods.  Granted, there were large differences because of the huge discrepencies between a gryphon's form and a tiger's.  But all in all things were much the same.  Find prey, stalk prey, catch prey, eat prey.
