A unique strain of cellulose digesting bacteria in their guts produces astounding quantities of methane which the animals pass audibly in loud anal grunts with each step as they walk, causing the herd to superficially sound at short distances like a lowing multitude of wildebeaste. They are native to the wetlands of the Dark Continent.
