The hunts of wild sleen, of course, are not invariably successful, or the value of their range would be soon reduced by overhunting. - (Smugglers of Gor, Chapter 25, Sentence #361)

Much depends on how hungry an animal is. The hungry sleen may attack even a lari, which is likely to kill it; in the far north I am told snow sleen will hunt in packs, rather like swarming sea sleen, but the sleen, generally, like the lari, is a solitary hunter. Older animals, of course, may be reduced to hunting slower, less-desirable prey Where the sleen ranges, peasants, foresters, and such, commonly remain indoors at night, or, if venturing out, are likely to do so in armed groups. The hunts of wild sleen, of course, are not invariably successful, or the value of their range would be soon reduced by overhunting. In the wild, the sleen will usually return to its burrow by morning, and, after sleeping, seek a new trail the next night. Too, after a kill, many sleen, rather like certain reptiles, may remain asleep or quiescent for weeks, even months. This is not the case, however, with the domestic sleen, which are bred with different ends in view. - (Smugglers of Gor)
