Of course, the bigger and faster you are, the better your chances of seeing the next day’s sun. However, for some creatures, their ability to survive and thrive isn’t about the size of their bodies, the speed of their legs, or any magical powers — it is their brave heart; no going down without a fight, tackling enemies…
