Kalons-- a species with soft manes and even softer hearts.

Monitored in forests across the globe for years, these animals
have recently been declared naturally tame as well as sapient.
Scientists are asking the general population to consider adopting
Kalons for further study in their capabilities of intelligence.

Their shining tails are used for identification and showing off,
which is helpful when spotting another Kalon from afar. This
association with other Kalons is why they are head-over-heels
for any shiny or colorful item that they come across!

How do they cope with sadness?;
they stand by the belief that someone, somewhere, is going through the exact same thing. so they travel, and travel, whether it be on the internet, or literally. they travel to find that person. and they know that when they do, everything will get better. they don't realize though, that the traveling itself is helping. every forest that they drive through, every friend they meet online, each little thing is a step in the direction of peace and happiness for them.

just some ideas ^^

"they say pain keeps you alive. I don't think I'm dying anytime soon"

"how do I cope with sadness? I box. Did I mean to lose that fight? Yeah, actually. I mean, winning doesn't matter to me. I'm not a professional boxer, I just do it for fun. Does it bother me that I have a losing streak? Nah, pain keeps my mind off everything that's swirlin' around in there, yannow? When I fight, I only think 'bout my next move, not how there's a black void insida me that's eatin' me up. Bruises n' stuff don't bother me, yannow, or else I wouldn't be here. I mean, if ya get queasy atta sight of blood, then why would you surround yourself with it? I mean, even I ain't into torturin' myself like that. Do I even like boxin? What kinda question is that?? Yah, course I do. Just cause I don't always feel like winnin' doesn't mean I can't, yannow? You just gotta catch me on a good day. I mean, yeah, it's fun to win. You get fans and stuff who will chase ya down to get your signature. How cool is that?? I mean, ain't nobody asked me, but it's a neato idea. And some people will even pay, cash money, for a mouth guard!! Ya know how ridiculous that is?? Ha!! Someday, someone will pay thousands of bucks to get my mouth guard. People are crazy, yannow? I don't think anyone's right in the head. But hey, you do you man, you do you. And whatever keeps the monsters out of ya head, do it. Just don't be stupid and protect ya self."

How do they cope with sadness?;

- - -It doesn't take much. Someone has to tell them the news of what happened and they know it had mostly been their own fault. "If I had just been a little more vigilant; if my memory was just a little better." It's no more than an accident but it happened too many times in the recent past. Usually they're not the emotional type, but for some reason this pokes a hole through the wall they maintain. They cry momentarily and the tears are sparse yet warm.
- - -"Breathe. Stop being so sensitive over nothing you baby. It's not a big deal. Accidents occur, this isn't any special occasion." Alternatively, they don't cry often; maybe they should get a bit of emotional release. Some things that have been locked away resurface and pick at the hole in the wall. "Why are you so useless? I'm not. I didn't mean for this to happen. But it did. Do you see now? You won't amount to much. That's not what this is about. Please be quiet." The back and forth of anger and guilt from the past and rationality and vulnerability from the present cease after a while. They don't want to cry anymore over useless things.
- - -Now, they are tired. They don't want to deal with this. It's not as bad as it could be, sometimes these kinds of things happen. But it still makes them sad. Pensiveness is annoying and doesn't make them feel better, but naps can sweep emotions under the rug. Maybe the nap could just... erase what happened.
- - -In their sleep they do not confront their issues. When they wake up, everything is fine, albeit slightly unearthly. They forget about what happened because they don't want to have to remember. The sadness is gone and they don't have to touch it anymore.

tl;dr: They take naps to ignore emotions. Rationalization is good and all, but the lingering gloom scares them, so they sleep.
