No environment produces enough biomass to support even a small group. They migrate through the trees They seem to have a 17-19 year cycle of return. They inhabit islands and the coast of San Fransisco bay since 1968. I gave up actively hunting it in 1993. A Mexican man told mrs Mcintosh in 1968 that we were dealing with a "chupachabre". She told me this in 1988. Where does wiki get its info from. It needs editing.
