Australopithecus finds an watering hole, Palaeo diet AAR

We managed to play another game of Palaeo Diet the next day and as we had already occupied the dinner table our group of Australopithecines were hungry again...
The previous game can be found at: http://kampgruppe-engel.blogspot.com/2024/08/australopithecus-jungle-hunt-palaeo.html

In the next game I had placed a small watering hole in the jungle and our group were interested about any food that could be found there in.

We had 6 members of our group, 2 to each player.
I placed a small area of water in the middle surrounded by 4 terrain pieces for smaller critters to try to run and hide into if found in the water.
The critters can be found if a hunter makes a special search action after a succesful activation, finding a critter on a 6 if standing on the shore, or a 5+ if in the water (but with the risk of drowning as the standard rules).
I placed 2 other primates on the table to act on failed rolls. Lets see if they are gets interested when our group starts their search in the water.
The hunt would count as successfully if we find 6 counts of food and at least 4 members survive. 

The first two of our Australopithecines are searching the water.

More members of their group joins in.

A smaller bird have been find in the waters and are trying to run for the closest new hiding place.

The Australopithecus is trying to sneak and catch the birds.
In the background we can see another primate from an unknown species, but it are keeping some distance as of now.

A frog has been found and the hunt is on..

Mutch activity in the water. Food can certainly be found here.

With an activation of three ones I instead placed a apex predator in the jungle. Some way from our group but still maybe we should try to not splash as mutch in the water...

One member of our group is hunting a frog or a toad that is running to a new hiding place around the roots of an old tree.

The hunt for food continues.

A new small bird have been found, if we are careful maybe we can catch it...

We had found enough food for the entire tribe and we could leave the water.

The apex predator had shown some small interest in all the commotion but not enough to attack us, just close in somewhat.
