Off in the distance,
Sammo was hiding on one of the dunes, accompanied by couple of his droid crewman who held visual and audio recording equipment
"Crikey,"
He said as he turned to the camera held by one of the droids
"Now this 'ere is a fine specimen of the Bantha specie trottin' along its desert path."
The cameraman zoomed in on the Bantha
"Take a special look at there its' horns, you see the alpha males of the pack have much larger horns and shaggier fur than the rest of their pack, denoting them as strongest Bantha around."
He smiled back to the camera
"Truly, magnificent and enduring species."
One of the droids muttered
"Worst.. job.. ever.."

The Bantha Delta takes a moment to bleat in return.

Sammo turned to the camera once more
"Oy, crickey, oy.. oy, see now 'ere there was a quite nice display o' Bantha communication."
He turned back towards Banthas off in the distance pointing them out
"It's what they commonly call a 'Bantha Roll Call' see the male sounds out a call and each of the pack responds back in order to make sure they are all still together, this is often done on the move to make sure that the last Banthas have not wandered off or been taken."
He continued on explaining the behavior
"It could also be a mating call between the leader of the pack, which are most often the strongest females in the pack, although in this case it seems a male has taken leadership, rare anomaly, and the answering bantha, although mating behavior is often prelude with a display of the banthas' long agile tongues raising high up in the air."
He looked back to the camera
"If that is so, I assume the answering Bantha is a female, or they are both male banthas, which could explain why the male is leading the pack instead of a female bantha as usual."
He smiled to the camera
"Of course, there is nothing wrong with that, it is their own lifestyle choice, and if they feel comfortable choosing it, well we cannot judge them on it."
