Camelion

Discovery LocationSahara Desert

Lead ResearcherM. Mufasa

Field Report Summary

The apex predator of the deep desert, the Camelion can travel for weeks without water, storing hydration in its fatty hump. Its wide, padded paws allow it to stalk silently over shifting sands. Unlike other big cats, it is active during the heat of the day, using its heat tolerance to hunt exhausted prey. Its roar sounds like a guttural gargle.
