Definitely looks like a wobbegong, a type of carpet shark. I would guess spotted wobbegong, but it could be a similar species like the ornate or banded wobbegong - I can't 100% pick the pattern.




I love this months PPS caterpillar! I missed out on adopting one but a very kind user gifted one to me.

Emberwolf litter!! -fangirl screaming- I collect all Emberwolf designed pets QuQ and this litter looks to be just darling! Even the newborn blanket designs are pleasing <3

I didn't realize there was a pps until I went to the swap thread T.T what a little cutie pie! The blep tongue kills me!

Okay, event squealing is done. Time to fawn over the new regular and store stuff!

I absolutely love the tiger sharks, I mean the lion sharks! :D

The whale shark is definitely my favorite, look at those little follower fish <3
Very curious as to what inspired FleshCanvas to turn lions into sharks. Not exactly a combo that comes to my mind (I'd have picked otters maybe) but it works! ^.^


These guys are super cute, I wonder if they're gonna be butterfly dogs this time :D

And I'm also super excited about the chickens and the pups, love those soft colors on the chickens and you can rarely go wrong with a plant based litter <3

Here to join in on the "Oh my god I am obsessed with the PPS pupperpillar" bandwagon.... he's SO lovely

Apparently last month I was blessed by the RNG gods, but not this month :'c I will proceed to fight to the death for that PPS caterpillar.... no wait... DOGerpillar lol

Also, I, personally, am a little underwhelmed with this month's pets, to be fair tho they are competing with the event. Having said that I'm still very excited to see what we get tho!
I do love the cute lil sprout pups so those should be fun. Personally hoping for veggies or fruits!
The horses are giving me fishing net vibes, but also maybe snakes or even honeycomb?
The ponies throw me off a little bit with the brown/grey-purple colouring, I kinda wish they we just all soft colours. But I think that the artists know what they're doing and they'll be great!
The cats remind me of the 2nd gen litter from February, and I loved them so I can't wait to see how they turn out!
The BFW are already amazing with their PPS baby and I'm hoping for dog breeds but I saw someone else say coffee and I can't wait to see what they turn into!
I'm hoping other people are right about the guinea pigs being based on pigs or hedgehogs, both would be amazing!!
The 2nd Gens could turn out really cool, I do love the orange and brown combo! It's giving Terry's Orange lol
Chickens aren't my favourite, but I like the colours on them. I am a sucker for pastels. Imagine they're dragons lol
And the foxes are just so funky, I can't wait to see them.

i love the lion sharks!! bought them immediately for my collection

The guinea pig litter looks like hedgehogs to me

I totally agree! That's the first thing I thought of when I saw them. But normally CS hedgies are dwarf or Syrian hammies:
It would be amazing to get guinea pig ones too, then we'd have 3 different sizes!

I hope the guinea pigs are skinny pigs :eyes: but regular pig designs would be adorable too

Word for word these were my next thoughts! I've been hoping for more hairless animals (I still don't think we have any hairless dog breeds on CS) but I'm not sure we'd get such a big litter of them. So then I thought of real pigs, too. I see the resemblance to the 2019 Chinese New Year pigs, especially this one:

I knew if I didn't make a PPS id have a riot on my hands and I'd be among the people breaking down my own door XD id never have forgiven myself.

I'm glad everyone enjoys them!!

I'm glad you made the right decision in order to avoid the riot. This is soo cute, I adore EPPS butterfly wolves and this one has such a cute little face! The face and realistic colors makes me think of these litters: April 2013, September 2013, and July 2016. It's been quite awhile since those litters, so if this one does end up being similar (the "wolf" portion of the butterfly wolf having realistic canine-like coloring), I'd be very happy! But no matter what this litter ends up looking like, I'll love it.

Agreeing with everyone that this looks like a farm or garden-inspired litter! Would be cute to have either veggie-inspired dogs or something like this litter with each dog dressed up as a farmer, scarecrow, cowboy, milkmaid etc. but honestly a litter like that seems like a one-time thing and it's just my farming sim-addicted brain going off the rails.

I think this is a cute pairing and it's giving me a 1970s vibe for some reason. The mix of warm and cool colors makes it a perfect farewell to summer since they'll grow up near the end of August. (Yes I am ignoring people who live in the Southern Hemisphere, I'm sorry! I know our seasons are opposite!)

I see what others said about wildcat-inspired colors and patterns, but the colors are making me think of baked goods for some reason. Cookie cougars and brownie bobcats?

I'm terrible at guessing what abstract litters will look like! The juxtaposition of neon, pastel, and neutral/organic is interesting.

Like others said, this is giving me a snake vibe! The color scheme reminds me of the pets from the 2014 Egypt event.

I think this will probably be chickens since we had dragons last month. This really reminds me of Easter egg coloring, where you draw on the egg with a wax crayon and then dip in the dye, so when it comes back out it has white designs on a background of color. Tess made a November 2015 dog litter that really reminds me of that and of these eggs. It's not just an Easter tradition (and doesn't have to use eggs) so I think it could work for August too.

I'm surprised no one has said this fox looks like it's wrapped in the lesbian flag! I know the stripes are in the wrong order but the colors are really similar. The color scheme has always reminded me of a sunset, and combined with the fox's dusky purple body, I think this will be a really pretty sunset/sunrise-inspired litter.

FleshCanvas never disappoints! I love when they make litters based on real species and then reveal what they are after everyone has made guesses and scoured the internet to identify them. Part of me wishes there was a cute shark pup/small species of shark PPS but the other part knows I'd have NO chance of trading for it since I can't buy store pets, so it's fine.

It is a big litter which does make me think it might not be skinny pigs, but surprisingly they have a lot of variety so I'm holing out hope :fingers_crossed:

I'm going to be thinking about this lad for 5-10 business days. Adorable

I knew if I didn't make a PPS id have a riot on my hands and I'd be among the people breaking down my own door XD id never have forgiven myself.

I'm glad everyone enjoys them!!

My immediate thought was WHERE IS THE PPS
So yes, you aren't wrong

I didn't get the PPS initially, but I've already found plenty of people with multiples, so it wasn't hard to get one, and the eventual 20 for the hoard.

I absolutely love the tiger sharks, I mean the lion sharks!

sea lions

I'm so excited to see these BWs grow. They're so cute 🥹 I'm so glad there's an EPPS
