Yep.
What hunting strategy does it use?
Can we...
Figure that out.
So that comes down to the, um, to that foot stuff.
Um, they're relatively efficient.
compared to a lot of other things and particularly compared to the herbivores.
So that means they're probably looking at long distance rather than speed.
And that makes sense because even though the kind of stuff we're talking about, like I said, maybe they get into 20, 25 miles an hour, that's pretty quick.
But some of the smaller stuff is going to be a lot faster than that.
And remember, that's a real upper estimate.
They're probably not that quick.
But, yeah.
They're just jogging after you.
Right.
But they've got the distance.
So, yeah.
So, it's much more hyena or wolf-like strategy than, like, a cheetah going for hyperspeed or a lion going for a relatively quick burst, and it either gets you or it doesn't.
And then the people kind of end up going, well, like, but that's ridiculous.
Like, they're not even that quick.
