this species, more of a marsupial then anything, has a long snout, and a wolf-brow, but a bear like mouth. It has hyena ears, round and thick, they are pretty smooth hair-ed on the inside, and are used for listening to small mammals while hunting. This animal likes fruits, but if times get harder, they can eat mice, voles, any small mammal they can eat. This animal is docile, but if thretened, it rears up on it's hind legs and roars. Now, this species is not draconian...at all. It is purely warm-blooded. Covered in thick fur, except it's nose, this species has been hunted for it's pelts, and has decreased in numbers, but due to restrictions of hunting, they have made a comeback, and have found their way into being domesticated. Now, this species is more of a peaceful creature, but also has weaknesses to new diseases, new mutations, and other rare genetic adding and sub species.
Though they aren't social or solitary, they establish knowledge of their surroundings, neighbors, and allies. They have a new class, outside of social and solitary. A Community type of reaction to others. They have greeting calls, they often court and have their own ranks(but not like wolves, theirs are more of popularity like in schools and with humans). They mate for life, and live for 70 years, or more, but the oldest recorded died at age 68. They are born in eggs, kinda like a platypus, and are born in bunches of 1-3, no more then three though...well, not yet though. The average is 2, or one, rarely three. Now, this species holds a weird way of courting. They normally 'buck' with other males, kinda like how teen boys brawl over a girlfriend. The two males will stand on their hind legs and box each other, jabbing, biting, head butting, anything to knock the other over, and by the end, whoever hits the dust first, is the loser, and has to crawl away on all fours.
I like it! I might make it more story-like, though...
