The final trophies are almost Life-Formed. When the restoration is required, every effort is made to repair cuts and abrasions, and to minimise bullet damage. Natural scarring is kept unless otherwise requested.
Habitat
The Grysbuck’s Native habitat is the “Fynbos biome” and it inhabits thick shrubland. It can sometimes be found browsing orchards and vineyards and also can be found near river banks in the reeds. They are not too shy and don’t mind to be near humans or their settlements. They can go without drinking water for quite a while as they get their nutrients from their food. They feed mostly on grasses and leaves, as well as some berries and other fruit.
