About Me
- Gawain N. E. Lavers
- Gawain Lavers is very well known and respected in the African bush. He is very aggressive and has a tendancy to go for the genital area of would-be attackers. There are stories of Gawain Lavers bringing down an adult wildebeest by attacking the genitals of the animal. He is said to be mainly nocturnal but has also been viewed during the daylight hours, thought to be an adjustment to his needs. He has very loose fitting, tough skin, a combination which makes him a difficult animal to deal with in a conflict situation. He does, as his name suggests, feed on honey and on the larva of bees, but he will also feed on reptiles, baboon spiders and scorpions. Gawain Lavers is thought to breed all year round in the Djuma area, with females thought to have two young per litter.
