Welcome to Tignix Adopts!
What are tignix?
Common Name:
Tignix
---
Latin Name:
Acinonyx tigris
---
Longevity:
18 years
---
Description of Physical Appearance:
The physical appearance is almost exactly the same for all three sub-species. They all have a tiger-like head, tiger-like legs, a cheetah like body and a cheetah-like tail. They generally grow to be about 234 - 241 cm in length (from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail), 70 - 98 cm in height (to the shoulders, males being slightly larger) and weighing around 35 - 80 kg. Their hefty size means, unlike their African and Asiatic cousins, they can only reach a maximum speed of 48 mph, which they can maintian over a distance of 500 metres. Their fur is longest on the back of their necks, their underbelly and their cheeks. Each subspecies varies slightly in fur length, plains tignix with the shortest, forest with the middle and mountainous with the longest.
---
Colouration:
The colour varies from subspecies to subspecies.
The forest tignix have green-brown coats of varying shades and mainly have markings resembling those of Tigers, Asian Golden Cats, Bay Cats, Jungle Cats, Wildcats, Colocolos, Geoffroy's Cats, Kodkods, Margays, Ocelots, Oncillas, Pampas Cats, Pantanal Cats, Bobcats, Canadian Lynx, Eurasian Lynx, Clouded Leopards, Sunda Clouded Leopards, Jaguars, Marbled Cats, Fishing Cats, Flat-headed Cats, Leopard Cats, Rusty-spotted Cats and Jaguarundis.
The plains tignix are mainly tan or brown with markings resembling those of Cheetahs, Caracals, Black-footed Cats, Sand Cats, Servals, Leopards, Lions and African Golden Cats.
The mountainous tignix are mainly grey or brown, with markings similar to Snow Leopards, Chinese Mountain Cats, Andean Mountain Cats, Iberian Lynx, Pallas Cats and Cougars.
On very rare occassions, the subspecies can interbreed to produce fertile offspring with interesting shades of colour coats, some even having a combination of stripes and spots. There have been reported cases of albinism in them, but this is very rare. Like the bengal tiger, there are also rare cases where cubs will be born with pure white fur, which develops unusual patterning later in life. Pure black and pure white tignix are very rare, but there have been many reported sightings.
---
Habitat:
Each subspecies inhabits its own terrain. The forest tignix inhabit dense, coniferous forests. The mountainous tignix prefer to inhabit steep, rocky cliffs. The plains tignix prefer wide open plains to roam.
---
Distribution:
Tignix are found throughout the Northern Hemisphere.
---
Social Status:
Tignix live in large groups, hunting together to help bring down larger prey animals (deer, elk, etc.). These groups are known as packs, as in wolves. Each pack has an alpha pair, a beta pair, able-bodied hunters and fighters, queens (female nursing cubs), cub-nannies and cubs. However, occassionally members will be cast out to live a solitary life.
---
Territory:
Each pack covers a range of around 6 acres of land, with gaps inbetween packs (often inhabited by loners).
---
Diet:
Like the rest of Felidae, tignix mainly eat meat. Packs tend to hunt deer, elk, moose and a large variety of larger mammals. Cubs, young tignix and loners often go for smaller mammals, such as rabbits, voles, hares, etc. Birds are harder to catch, but they will attempt to hunt them.
---
Mating and Offspring:
The mating season is around the autumm time, with the females becoming queens during the late winter months. Tignix mate for life. Cubs are normally born in the spring, in litters of 2 - 4 cubs. Cubs take four years to mature, but normally stay with their birth pack. Cubs born during the summer are normally weakened by winter, as they haven't had enough time to gain sufficient weight to survive the harsh winter months. If cubs are born during the autumm or winter, they are almost certainly going to die.
---
Breeding:
I will be the only breeding artist for now. Remember, tignix mate for life. Once your tignix has mated with another, it cannot be bred to another one. Choose you mate wisely! Females can have cubs every 3 months.

Rules:
1. To adopt one, you must complete a form on the page of the tignix you want.
2. Please don't complain if you don't win. It makes you look immature and makes other people feel uncomfortable!
3. Please don't request a custom from any of our artists. There will NEVER be any customs!!!
4. A person can have unlimited tignix!!!
5. Artists can make their own tignix, but try to remember entering is part of the fun!
6. If you are given a warning, you will be PMed about it. I will never post a banning list here to prevent potential trolling.
7. Have fun adopting! ^^
