Tifox...Tiger/Fox Hybrid...Vulpes Tigris

Postby King of Crows » Sun Jun 24, 2012 12:07 pm

Vulpes Tigris

An unusual combination of a red fox (Vulpes vulpes), and a Malayan Tiger (Panthera tigris jacksoni), the Tifox is a large, omnivorous (primarily carnivorous), mammal. Classified as being neither feline or canine, this illusive, beautiful creature sits somewhere between species. The legs, long and muscular, carry retractable claws on the front paws, and non-retractable claws on the back. The tail is long, slightly prehensile, and thickly furred. The neck, covered in thick fur, is very muscular, and short. The body, with the spines being slightly arched, is long and lithe. The skull is broad, with a medium length muzzle. Ears are long and rounded, and swivel to capture sound.

The Tifox is a nocturnal, mostly predatory creature that has no problems with munching on a bit of road kill. The tend to be covered in various stripes or spots, with the ears, brows, and legs always being dark. The tail tends to be striped, and always has a white tip. The muzzle and chest tends to be a much lighter variation of the base coat.

Though none have been spotted as of yet, it is believed that their are individuals carrying, and showing, the recessive albino trait. The fur is clear, with eyes being pale, cloudy pink, and the nose and skin being a pale, peachy color. There are also, reportedly, solid-black individuals with pale green eyes and dark skin.

The base color ranges from a lovely, rusty orange-red, to golden, to dusky brown, to various shades of grey and blue-grey. The eyes tend to be brown to gold in color, while lighter Tifoxes tend to have blue eyes.

All young Tifoxes have violet/blue eyes, and their markings tend to be very faint, growing stronger as they mature.

Males reach a maximum weight of 650lbs., females only getting up to 410lbs. max. Though heavy bodied, they are very light on their feet, and have been seen making jumps of up to 12 feet in a single bound, covering ground rapidly to take down prey such as antelope, cattle, buffalo, large birds of prey, and various large mammals.
