A Makoatl is a terrestrial shark-dragon hybrid recently discovered
off the coast of the Greenland sea. They have the powerful tail
and jaws of a shark, with the body and (occasional) horns of a dragon.
They usually have manes, and are covered in thick coats of fur-
adapted to keeping out the cold in their native habitat.
They live on a diet of mainly meat and fish, and are known to be vicious
hunters! Despite this attitude toward their prey, however, they
are very protective and mothering to their offspring,
as well as to each other the majority of the time.

Ahh my first Mako as a GA! ;w;!! This is a little liver colored one for you guys! I love art, but I really like stories as well (Not stories about the name or you. An actual short story) So I'm going to allow both! Ends Friday

Name:
Russ Gray

Sex:
Male

Accessories/Scars:
On each ear, Russ has one Helix and one Industrial piercing. He wears a black square-framed pair of glasses as well as a necklace with a paw charm. Outside of class, since hats aren't to be worn in school, he wears a black beanie on his head.

As for scars, Russ only has one thin scar around his snout. It was gotten after an unfortunate incident with the class pet [A.K.A Mr.Cuddles, the Class' Grey Macaw] who was frightened on the first day and scratched Russ on the snout.

Story:

Kids
"I do hope you kids studied for this test. I'd hate to be you if I'd gotten a bad grade" Russ called out, shuffling the test papers on his desk. He received a bunch of groans and complaints from the middle-school Makos, which made him chuckle to himself.

"I'm just messing with you all. It'll be fine. It's just about what we learned throughout this week. Not too hard."

Russ had been teaching a middle-school biology/life science class for 2 years now. Although he was still young [about 20 in human years], he had passed through his schooling and college like a pro. His passion for the subject of biology and wildlife was astonishing. Such a young Makoatl, but holding such a great amount of knowledge.

"Mr.Gray! Can I use the bathroom?" A child asked, interrupting his thoughts. He gave a sigh and nodded, signing the kid's agenda and beginning to pass out papers. There were two young females in the back gossiping about who-was-dating-who and a few kids on the other side who had been poking at the Class Pet. It was a wonder why he became a teacher instead of an actual biologist. He didn't mind the children, they just seemed to be out of hand occasionally and fighting each other over the simplest things. Ah, that's right. He wanted to be closer to home and the only good job for his skills was a teaching job in a middle school.

He made his way back to his desk and cleared his throat. "Alright, class. Let's begin. Keep your eyes on your own work and do your best" he called out to the class, beginning to grade papers from last class. As the children began their test, Russ fought back a laugh. He looked down at the child's paper and mentally face-palmed. It was a question about evolution and they had answered like this. It was a cute answer, he had to admit, but he wrote down a red "X" and simply wrote at the bottom: "Giraffes are cuddly, actually. Nice try though."

He peeked up at the click of the door and nodded his head in acknowledgement as the student returned from the restroom. She rushed back to her seat and began her own test. A few more minutes passed by and Russ' grading was interrupted once more as a kid called out. "Mr.Gray! Cuddles spilled water on my paper from the bird bath! Does that mean I get an extra point or two?" he called out. Russ clicked his tongue in irritation as he stood from his seat and approached. He looked over at the Class Pet that was referenced and inspected the bird bath. It had been perfectly dry on the cage floor and all around. He then noticed a water bottle from the corner of his eye and immediately knew what was going on. "Nice try kiddo" he said, pointing to the bottle. "For that, you just earned yourself the job to clean Cuddles' cage after class-" Russ handed him a new paper and smirked. "-have fun"

The class erupted with laughter, making the child on clean-up duty groan in embarrassment. "aww man! You've gotta be kidding me" he said. Russ laughed along lightly.

Ah jeez, kids and their shenanigans.

I do not own the picture used in the story ^-^
