He found her with a serious head wound and nursed her back to health. Though he appeared quite sane, Botarus claimed that he was sometimes as crazy as Madd, and that was how he was able to tolerate her. <br /> <br /> The pair shared an intense dislike of vermin. Botarus initially suspected [[Deyna the Taggerung|Tagg]] of being a vermin, but quickly changed his mind when he realized Tagg was an otter. However, Madd refused to believe Tagg wasn&#039;t vermin, so Botarus led Tagg to safety away from her. <br /> <br /> ===Trivia===<br /> *&quot;Botarus&quot; probably comes from the Eurasian Bittern&#039;s Latin name, &#039;&#039;Botaurus stellaris.&#039;&#039;<br /> * Botarus is the only named bittern in the series.<br /> [[Category:Birds]]<br /> [[Category:Taggerung Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Males]]<br /> [[Category:Characters]]</div>
