THE FAUNA OF BUSHVELD (1998)


SOURCE: A Hunger in the Soul by Mike Resnick (1998)

DESCRIPTION: "...The first couple of hours saw us crossing a beautiful green savannah, with enormous herds of herbivores grazing in the distance..." (A Hunger in the Soul by Mike Resnick (1998)

NOTES: A large number of animals live in the jungle world of Bushveld including the  Brownbuck, Cochrane's Hornbuck, Devildogs, Devilowl, "Edgar", Hooktooth,  Horntooth, Killerdog, Landwhale, Markham's Wildbuck, Mottlebuck, NightdiverRedpanther, Sinkhole, Treeswinger, and two sentient alien races the Orange-Eyes and the Plug-Uglies.

HISTORY: The assorted creatures of Bushveld remind me of Arthur K. Barnes' critters in his Interplanetary Hunter series. They also have a very African feel.
