Looking at animal encounter tables while planning the next bit of my Traveller game and pondering the difficulties of a 3200kg carnivore/trapper that lives in the mountains.
I guess maybe it has a slow metabolism so it doesn't have to be constantly feeding. Perhaps it could cover itself in loose rock and hide at the bottom of scree slopes?
(Half the fun of classic Traveller is fleshing out what the game's minimalist systems give you. Luckily, I enjoy improvised world building.)
