We have come upona Grunt in hisnatural habitat. Watch as he rootsaround the fieldsinhopes
to finda spaghetti andmeatsauce or evena poundcake wouldsuffice him. The Gruntistypicallya
carnivore buthave beenknowntoeat herbivore if the situationcallsforitor unlessaweighiniscoming

(remember…thickBritish voice)
Notice howthe Grunt communicateswithvariousthroatanddiaghramnoises. If youlisten
carefullyitsoundslike akindof warbledEnglish,givingthe facade of intelligence.Butdon’tbe fooled
mates,itis an ignorantbeast.Distance shouldalwaysbe maintained.
The Grunt raisesitsheadandgrunts intothe wind
“Yuuuut,Yuuut,ERrrrrrr, Laaayyyoo,Raaaaaawwwt”
Oh listentothat!What a fascinatingcreature. Iam goingto attemptto confuse the beastbyshouting

The Grunt startsshouting.
“Bah, Bah, Tricare,bah,Tricare,basehousing”
Thiscan oftenbackfire onthe Gruntas it usuallyonlyattractsthe vile andpoisonousBarracksRat.
We are goingto have to call ita nighthere folksandpickupon Monday. Duringmatingthe Grunt can
oftenconsume the juicesof fermentedfruits andwheatandwhenthathappensthe Grunt isthe most
dangerousanimal onthe face of the planet. Idrather swimwithstingraysthenbe aroundaGrunt
duringmating.
Too soon?Too soon?Too soon.
Oh whatnice Monday wearegoing to havetoday. Wesee a wholepack of Gruntsgathered beforeone
of the older alphasof the pack. See howthey all stand row in row almostuniformlike with the older
huntersof the pack at the rightand movingondownwiththe younglingsorthe Privetfirstclasseson

male. It iswhat I believe isatestto see how strongthe Grunts are becomingbyhavingthemstay
perfectlystillandunflinchingbefore the alpha. He appears toonlybe prostratingbefore the marines
whose topmainlooksuncutor obviouslystillsmellof the fermentedmatingliquid.
Aw,and here we see one of the mothersof the pack. You can tell the mothersbythe shiny
objectsontheircolor. Tough and meanlike the alphabutultimatelyholdsswayoverthe alphas
aggressiveness. Butyousee the Grunt onlyrespectsaggressionandoftenshowsdisdainandobnoxious
behaviorbefore the mother.
Nowwe have a real treatmy friendswe have ayoungGrunt on the hunt. Watch how he uses
the terrainaroundhim to disguise hisalreadycamouflagedbody. He can lowerhimselfontohisbelly
and still manage tomove quicklythoughthe tall grass.
We see here the Grunthas spottedits pray. A youngunsuspectingairforce youngling. Itis
