Word Verification- lepae (n)...

lepae (n)- Genera of leopard found only in Australia and Tasmania, and like most mammals on these islands, marsupial in nature. Most widely known for the part they play in Aboriginal tribe coming of age rituals where an adolescent male must subdue a lepae, climb into its pouch and remain there for three days before being "reborn" and then considered a man.

It had been four days since Adoni had entered the pouch of the lepae he had mastered. Most of the tribe figured he had been eaten by the cub who still inhabited the pouch.
