	''Le-Matya'' tend to hunt near bodies of water, which act as a magnet for prey in hot desert climate.

			'''Excerpt from the Starfleet Survival Guide:'''

			''Le-Matya'' prefer to inhabit hot, rocky desert regions, and are often found near volcanic formations and in rugged mountain terrain. They make their nests on high, rocky ledges and overhangs. If you encounter a ''Le-Matya'' nest that contains young cubs, do not touch them or any food nearby. Retreat from the area immediately. An adult ''Le-Matya'' will attack any creature it sees near its cubs.

			''Le-Matya'' tend to hunt near bodies of water, which act as a magnet for prey in hot desert climate. If you approach a body of water in a desert region and se no other creatures nearby, be especially attentive for for clues of a ''Le-Matya'''s presence, such as green or orange fur left on rock ledges or on sharp plant growths. Be particularly wary if the body of water is flanked by tall, rocky ledges or cave walls. ''Le-Matya'' prefer to attack from above, leaping down on their prey.

			'''If you are in a group of people attacked by a ''Le-Matya'':'''

			* Note that a ''Le-Matya'' is easily distracted. It will shift attention from one target to another based on motion and the direction from which it was last attacked.

			* Keep the ''Le-Matya'' off-balance by taking turns attacking it from a distance with thrown objects. Circle the creature constantly, and continue widening your circle until you have moved out of its territory.

			If you are fleeing a ''Le-Matya'', endurance is your best defense. ''Le-Matya'' are highly territorial and will not venture far past their hunting grounds.

			'''If you are alone when attacked by a ''Le-Matya'':'''

			Inevitably, you may have to kill the creature in order to survive. ''Le-Matya'' kill even when not hungry, and if you are alone it may not permit you to retreat.

			* If phasers are not available (or inoperable) arm yourself with a heavy, bludgeoning weapon. Vulcans have traditionally carried [[Lirpa\|lirpas]]



	Their preferred habitat are hills and savannahs, but the versatile and relentless hunters are able to adapt to desert and volcanic plains without trouble. When other prey is scarce, le-matya will often subsist on [[Aylak\|aylakim]].

[[Vulcan (Planet)|Vulcan's]] most famous predator, a large, fierce hunting cat with an orange or yellow diamond pattern along its back and rings of the same color on its tail. It has three-toed paws, large fangs, pointed ears, and long back claws. Its fangs and claws are poisonous; the poison sacs containing a le-matya's nerve toxin are located inside the central pads of its paws and at the base of its jaw.
