So, after thinking long and hard about the species for my Fursona. I decided that I liked too many animals to just have one species that was the definition of me.

It's going to be nocturnal, just like me, and it's going to combine all of the mammals that I love into one. Wolves, Red Fox, Fennec Fox, Bobcats, Panthers, Tigers, Lions, Cheetahs, Hyenas, Spider Monkeys, Orangutangs, Chimpanzees, Grizzily/Black bears, and Panda bears.

Here's a somewhat good reference of the species that I want Ardra, my Fursona, to be.

It's ears are very large, like a Fennec Fox's ears, to keep them cool during the summer, but the ears grow thick tiffs of fur inside of them to keep warm in the winter.

Their eyes are very big for seeing at night, but when in the day light hours(When there is daylight for the planet is dark 75% of the time), their eyes are slitted. Their paws a really large, even for their size, and have thick pads at the bottom used for scaling jagged rocks and rough bark. They have really thick, and long claws that are retractable that they use for climbing and digging.

They can change their fur color at will, to either reflect their mood, aid in camouflage in hunting, to attract a mate, or just to show some personality. Their markings do not change unless it is winter time, in which they can only be pure white, or a very whited down version of what ever color they try to make their fur.

The stripes on their back are to prevent their natural enemies from seeing them from above. While these creatures vary in size from the size of a wolf, to the size of a Irish Wolf Hound, and some males have been known to be the size of a medium horse, their biggest, natural enemy, besides invaders of the same breed, is a bird of prey similar to a Pterosaur in body build, Wandering Albatross in Body-Wing Spand ratio, a beak like a Hyacinth Macaw, and, of course, the nocturnal eyesight of a Great Horned Owl(This species hasn't been named either).

The spots on their sides, like a leopard, are to help them hide in the shadows while hunting. The white face, is just because I was too lazy while coloring to make it orange, but it does always have a white underbelly and varying length of white on the tips of their tails.

Their tails are very long, it doesn't show very well in the picture, but their tails are, at least, a little longer than the length of their bodies, which they use for, not only balancing, but also to live in tree tops during the rainy season. The land is very prone to floods during the Spring and Fall months, and, when the land does flood, these guys climb up into trees and live in the branches like monkeys. They use their tails to wrap them around the branches, or hook them if the branch is too thick, to prevent them from falling out of the trees. This is a very bad time for this species, as if it's spring time, they have pups with them, the female/submissive will usually find a hallow in a tree to keep the pups if they are too young to use their tails, and it also makes them a very easy target should their bird enemy decide to brave the risk of breaking a wing diving into the tree to get them.

The markings on their front paws are for status, and are the only markings that can be changed. The more intricate the pattern, the higher their status. They are pack animals that continuously make their pack bigger, like rats, or Meerkats. There's one Dominant Male that is in charge of hunting and protecting the pack, and there is one Dominant Female that is in charge of keeping their homes clean and the young safe from unnatural preditors, like ants and things like that.

If there are no males in the pack, then there are two Dominant females, and one that does the job of a male. If there is no male in the pack, a female becomes a Hermaphrodite to impregnate it's mate and will remain like that until a male pup is born, which there will be no more pups born until that pup is of age and chooses a mate. It's not so similar if there are no females in a pack. If there are no females in the pack, the Dominant male takes a Submissive male as his mate and that Submissive then becomes Dominant Submissive. Even if the Submissive bares a female pup, the Submissive will continue to bear pups until it comes the day when both the Submissive and the Dominant male are dethroned, and someone else takes over the pack.

They are some-what Monogamous. They choose a mate, either female or submissive male, and that is the only one they will mate with, but if one or the other dies, they will not stay single for long. They go through a mourning period, the longest one was seven months, and then, if it was the female/Submissive lost, they court a new mate, if it was the male/Dominant that was lost, they allow someone else to court them.

They're burrowing creatures. They dig deep, intricate tunnels under large trees, or under areas where they are a lot of trees close together, and they live in them, like Meerkats. If they aren't burrowing like this, then the pack would be living in the mountains, where they would find weaknesses in the rock formations then create elaborate tunnel systems into the mountain for their burrows, but also to create points where they can either surprise their favorite goat-like prey by jumping at them when they are in front of one of the entrances, or gaining the advantage by using the tunnels to get above them.

They are mostly Carnivorous, but during the Summer, if it's so hot that the water dries up, and Winter, when the migrating herds are no longer around, they have been known to survive off of the vegetation like the leaves at the tops of trees, moss on the side of rocks, or the softened bark of young trees. They do not particularly enjoy eating like this, and only eat like this as a last resort.

I believe that is all I can think to say about these guys for now. Feel free to shoot me any questions as answering questions helps me make more facts about them.
