What are the motifs in Cry of the Kalahari by Mark James Owens?

The animals of the Kalahari Desert are recurring idea.There are several categories of animals in the story of the Kalahari Desert. The smallest size group (as in number of species), but most dangerous, is the predators. Predators include lions, leopards, cheetahs and wild dogs. The next group are the scavengers which include the jackals and the brown hyenas. The undulates make up the third and largest group of animals. The undulates include hartebeest, wildebeest, giraffes, gemsbok, springbok, zebra, eland, steenbok, kudu, cape buffalo, lechwe antelope and other grazing antelopes. The undulates are the prey hunted by the predators. The scavengers forage for the leftovers after the predator is finished with the kill.
