Four years later, Buruuba had to go against a starving pack of African golden wolves (different from Ken's adoptive wolf family). He then had to thorn them all with his birth father's dead subject's dagger. He then started to howl - or to Tarzan yell precociously - to everyone, indicating that he did the haunting hunt on his own. After doing the hunt proudly, he then said his yeti name - 'bUrUUbA! - very loudly to Thara. She was amazed as a result. She then rewarded him dearly for self defence.
