This sublime predator is territorial and hunts around its lair, which it builds between intertwined roots, in semi-submerged caves graced by small rays of natural light. The oval nest is a mix of dead leaves and mud, layered on the inside with flowers, especially jasmine and wild orchids. Some rangers have learned to recognize the presence of a chaceklain's nest by the sweet scent wafting from it and the bleached bones that dot the area. Female chaceklains raise their offspring alone and defend them fiercely. They even build false nests to lure hunters into deadly ambushes, far from their eggs.
