Two Serval Kittens
Hekjek.jpg

Sex: Male & Female

Age: Kittens

Breed: Leptailurus Serval

 Hekyll and Jekyll two young Serval Cats are trouble and mischief personified. Roughly two times the size of a normal house cats and able to stretch up to five feet. Their long slim bodies are golden furred and covered with black strips and rosettes. With long bottle brush tails made of silken fur. Their legs are incredibly long with big paws. Their faces are patterned with masks ready for hijinx. Their heads are triangle shaped with huge slanted eyes of gold and orange and giant ears constantly canted forward for play like huge triangular radar dishes bigger than their heads. These two stalk and play together constantly in a tangle one is never far from the other.

A Serval Kitten

Sex: Male

Age: Kitten

Breed: Leptailurus Serval

 The Boots is roughly half the size of a normal house cat. His long slim body is golden fured and covered with black strips and rosets. His tail is fluffy and round like a bristle brush made of silk[;] long and thick. His legs are incredably long with big paws that this kit hasnt quite grown into. His face is painted with a mask ready for mischeif, trangle shaped with huge slanted eyes of gold and orange. His ears are canted forward for play and like giant trangular dishes are biger then his head as if like his paws he hasnt quite grown into his ears either. His face shows dispite his size that he is still very young for it is a kittens face all adorable and trouble at once.
  Leptailurus serval, is a medium-sized African wild cat. Modern molecular DNA analysis indicates that servals maintain their own unique lineage descending from the same Felid ancestor as the lion, and though the serval shares common traits with the cheetah, it is the cheetah which is thought to have descended from ancient servals. Similar DNA studies have shown the African golden cat and the caracal are closely related to the serval.

A Common Raven

Sex: Female

Age: Adult

Breed: Corvus Corax

 The Common Raven (Corvus corax), also known as the Northern Raven, is a large, all-black passerine bird in the crow family. Found across the northern hemisphere, it is the most widely distributed of all corvids. There are eight known subspecies with little variation in appearance although recent research has demonstrated significant genetic differences among populations from various regions. It is one of the two largest corvids, alongside the Thick-billed Raven, and is possibly the heaviest passerine bird; at maturity, the Common Raven is between 56 and 69 cm (22 to 27 inches) in length, with recorded weights ranging from 0.69 to 1.63 kg (1.5 to 3.6 pounds). Common Ravens typically live about 10 to 15 years in the wild, although lifespans of up to 40 years have been recorded.
 In other words, it's another damn bird.

A Large Raven

Sex: Male

Age: Who can tell?

Breed: Corvus Corax


A rather large black raven, with glossy feathers and a bright, intelligent glint in its eyes.


Black Wolf

Sex: Male

Age: Adolescent

Breed: Unknown

 This wolf is large for its size, but not too large, with a dark brown coat that goes almost black in places. The yellowish eyes have a hint of green or blue or brown in them, its snout is long and thin, a bit fluffy around the shoulders. It often shows its large fangs without thinking much of the consequences, the rest of it is slung low, an animal used to creeping about, head low.

Mexican Wolf

Sex: Female

Age: ???

Breed: Canis Lupus Baileyi

 A small wolf around the size of a german shepherd, this beast is a typical example of Canis Lupus Baileyi, or the Mexican Wolf. Thick fur runs in striations of dark brown along the back, beige along the sides and face, and off-white along the chin and belly, while her tail is long and proudly plumed, tipped in black. She looks to be in good health, eyes bright and intelligent, nose wet and ears perked.







Orb-Weaver

Sex: Female

Age: Adult

Breed: Nephila Clavipes

 Spiders. They're everywhere - there are some forty thousand species of spiders on the planet, inhabiting every continent save Antarctica; they've established themselves in deserts, forests, swamps, grasslands, and absolutely everwhere else save possibly underwater. Any given acre of land is virtually guaranteed to have thousands if not hundreds of thousands of spiders. You might only see one or two, or even none at all, but rest assured: the one constant in life is that you are surrounded by spiders.

 This particular specimen belongs to the species Nephila Clavipes, a kind of golden orb-web spider. Judging by its large size, it is most assuredly female; the body itself, mainly orange-ish with a smattering of white dots, is a little over two inches in length. When you factor in leg span, the entire thing is roughly the length and width of a small beer can. The eight slender legs start out yellow at the base, but appear to have several black (actually very, very dark blue) stripes circling them as they approach the sharp tips.

Pale Cheetah

Sex: Male

Age: Adult

Breed: Isabelline Cheetah

 This large male cheetah stands a little over three feet tall at the shoulder and weighs just shy of 150 pounds. It's much lighter colored than the typical cheetah, with short and coarse, cream colored fur that's tan spotted, and a white belly. Its chest is deep, for an oversized heart muscle and lungs made for gulping air, its waist narrow to aid in folding its body while running at incredible speeds. The cat's muzzle is very short but filled with sharp teeth meant to tear meat. White claws are only semi retractable, remaining visible at all times and providing superior grip while running, and its long, thick, spotted tail is tipped with tan rings. A long haired, cream colored and tan spotted crest runs between its shoulders, tapering to an end at its mid-back, protective as well as able to display levels of aggression.

 The cat's most distinctive feature is the tear-like tan streaks running from the inside corners of its golden eyes and down its nose to frame its white whiskered mouth. Tan spots run down its cheeks from the outside corners of its eyes, helping to give the cat the appearance of crying muddy tears. Its nostrils are wide for increased oxygen intake, and its pointed ears swivel to catch sounds. Thin bodied and quite slim, while it is well muscled as an active animal, its legs appear very thin and even somewhat delicate.
