So, what are Shinos, exactly?
Shinos were very recently discovered by explorers in Verkhoyansk, Russia. They were found in a forest, far away from any civilization. When they explorers saw the Shinos, they thought that they were some kind of cat. When they came closer, however, they found out that they were something much, much, different.
They had the build and pointed ears of a cat, the back legs of a small dog, along with antlers and the nose of a reindeer. They stood about 3 feet tall at the shoulder. That's not all, though. Around their necks, all of the Shinos had a necklace with a bottle on it, which always seemed to hold some sort of strange, bright coloured liquid. Their tails had a glowing aura around them which always matched the colour of the liquid in their necklace, and it seemed as if they couldn't live without their necklaces.
Research proved that fact was true. Scientists found out that, somehow, the colourful liquid gave the Shinos life. The aura around their tail was caused by the liquid, making the aura another sign that the Shino was alive. Over time, as the scientists found out, the liquid would slowly drain, and the aura would get dimmer, signaling that the Shino's time would come soon.
It has been found that the Shinos make great pets, and are great friends to have. Since they were discovered, they've been breeding more, which caused them to somewhat overpopulate. They're being sent out to special adoption agencies all over the world, and this is one of the many. You can own your very own Shino today, just fill out an adoption form, and you have a chance to get one!
