Before one can try to predict the weather, one should understand the climate of the Bahari'mtoto. Rains are periodic and frequent enough to foster their jungle, and keep part of the area rich in grasses. Because of this, their grasses tend to, in fact, actually be greener, since they're not deprived as long and often as savannah grasses.

That said, the Bahari DO still have seasons as any area does, with some months being rainier or dryer than others, with the rest a comfortable 'in between.' Because of this, some prey animals are more plentiful than others, while larger ones still follow migration patterns. The area may be lush, but they still like to move to other places every year. When in the area, they stay near the edges of the territory, as the jungle can be too confining for them.

Current weather
The current season is spring. The weather has turned from the chill of winter back toward the warming trend in anticipation of summer. The monsoon season is in full swing for much of the eastern coast of Africa, and the Bahari are no exception. The year already looks to be bountiful!

Current prey movements
- The return of the rains means the return of migratory zebra and wildebeast! With the shift in prey availability, the Bahari can be more carnivore and less piscivore!
- More rain means more plants - It's gloomy and overcast, but the jungle and surrounding plains have exploded with vegetation regrowth. The damage created by the buffalo is all but covered, as various large leafy plants, previously blocked by the presence of trees, have covered the forest floor. What trees were knocked over have begun to team with various mushrooms. Any lions who feel experimental have something new to nibble on, though this seems mostly reserved for cubs and those who are newer to the lands.
- The storms rolling in off the sea, while welcome, tend to bring unpleasant surprises with them, like mermaid's purses dredged up by the currents. Beached fishes are incredibly common right now.
- While not normally prey, the number of gulls on the shore, both hunting nad injured, has proven an ideal practice for younger lions to hunt tricky prey and think outside the usual strategies to catch food.

Are you running low on ideas for RP? It happens to us all at some point. Here you can find some ideas that, hopefully, can inspire you!

Remember that these are all optional!

Prompt 1

With the jungle recovering, it's time to indulge in being a cub again! The large amount of new foliage is perfect for some good old hide and seek!

Prompt 2

While under normal circumstances the waves and stormy waters would appear as though the sea is unhappy, it's simply the seasonal storms causing it. How does your lion react to them?

Prompt 3

Birds abound! The forest is teaming with birds of many colors, some having come up from the Kizingo'zaa lands and others having come out to the coast from the plains. How many colors can YOUR lion find in the feathers?

Prompt 4

Storms and waves bring many things to the beach, from driftwood to shells to mermaid's purses. What is your lion finding on the shores?
