fact that the terrain was sandy. he spent some time playing around in the sand, when suddenly, he saw a figure loom over him. naturally, his first instict was to stand up on his paws and look up at the creature in fear. it was... a lioness? the second their eyes met, kopa couldn’t help but grow even more scared for some reason. the look in her eyes was so fierce and intimidating... he froze in
