It is one of the deadliest predators found in the African-European Mountains. Sure-footed over difficult rocky terrain and well camouflaged by its mottled grey fur it is the groath's principal enemy. The shurracks hunt in packs, surrounding their prey, or cornering them in ravines, sharing the kill among themselves. In winter, when the snows come and the herbivores of the mountains (including the groaths) move to lower altitudes to find shelter and food, carnivores such as the shurrack closely follow the herds on their seasonal migrations.
