Following reports of heavy poaching by the Na`Vi, Dota scientists have released a study that shows the native Ukrainian tribe’s persistent hunting helps maintain a delicate balance in the Dota ecosystem.

“Species like the Empire penguin or ASUS Polar bear, if left unchecked, could grow too numerous,” said David V1lattenborough, naturalist and the most recognizable voice of the StarLadder nature documentaries. “Without the diligent work of the Na`Vi, we could see these animals destroy their local environment, and even threaten international habitats.”

Unlike normal indigenous hunting tribes that scavenge and target the weak, the Na`Vi only seem to attack and capture the strongest prey, leaving the remaining herd hierarchy confused and dispirited, unable to reproduce or even feed normally.

In 2013, the German sports mouse was hunted to near extinction by the Na`Vi. Since then, the elusive species has been spotted around the Seattle area and only during summer, typically placing 13th to 16th on the endangered species list.

Studies have shown that even the pets that Na`Vi tribes keep, like the Estonian wild baby dog, continue to hunt aggressively, destroying several former apex predators like the Swedish grey rat and the Evil Geniusaurus Rex.

Thus far, several species have been able to dodge the Na`Vi hunting patterns, including the European Tinkerpottomus. However, the North American Black Tinkerpottomus may draw more attention from poachers.

Dota fans can learn more about the Na`Vi by watching James Cameron’s three-hour box office blockbuster film “Avatar” or by watching the condensed, three-minute version on Noobfromua’s YouTube channel which only shows poaching highlights.
