Have they succumbed to a sedentary life or do some still live as mostly hunter gatherers in the forest?

Nothing to go crazy over, but not bad. Of the regularly eaten animals it has to be put nearest to pork, but not that much like pork. But, yes, a white meat.

The other other white meat, with scales.

(Lots of dirt, the dirt can go down meters, but it is actually weathered in situ granitic rock.)

(I did get that the article wasn’t about bushmeat, though. It’s just that my mind periodically goes on walkabout, and I started wondering about imminent commercial encroachment.)
