Koohii Story 1 They all say they have a TREE between their WALKING LEGS but most only have a TWIG.
Koohii Story 2 Don´t confuse with branch or bough - think of snapping twigs. A twig is always the kind of wood that snaps when the hunter´s walking legs just barely touch it, making a snapping sound that alerts the prey to the hunter´s presence.
