Name: This bean's name is Kalak - the local name for the maned wolf species in Toba. Kalak is often called 'Kal' for short, but only by friends.
Age: 18
Favorite place: As simple as this seems, Kalak enjoys spending time in long grass. Any field will do, any length, just as long as it comes past his elbows. Kal will spend hours lounging in the grass, watching the clouds sail by, maybe finding some insects to munch on as well. He's prone to eating insects more than anything else; he loves the thrill of a hunt, no matter how short or small.
Favorite food: Kal isn't exactly your average sweet-loving bean. He has a taste for creepy-crawlies. Honeypot ants, grasshoppers, and cicadas are his favourites. Crickets are also good, as well as lemon ants, and Kunga cake [a solid block of midge flies]. One of the few insects he won't eat are bees. He considers them much too important to the environment, and won't include them in his diet. Kalak often says they are all fuzz, no meat.
Hobbies:
- Cloud-watching - as explained earlier, Kal loves laying down in long grass and watching the sky. Sure, he falls asleep half the time, but it's the thought that counts. He often uses his paws to 'frame' particularly pretty or unusual clouds. If you're unaware of what he's doing, this can look pretty odd... Kalak doesn't seem to care that much about other's opinions though. He's doing what he loves, and that's what counts.
Reading - yes, that's right, this bean is a bookworm. He likes reading a wide range of literature focusing on two genres in specific; Historic Fiction, and Fantasy. They seem like kind of odd choices when placed side by side, but Kal likes to think they balance each other out. He loves to nestle down in his chair on a rainy day with a bag of meal-worms and a book on the Great Bean War of 1812 ["Who knew food-fights could be taken to such an epic scale!"]. Aside from history, he likes to take a break from the real world and get his thoughts lost in a fantasy world filled with flying dragons, pixies, or wizards. He hasn't read the Harry Potter series yet, but that's up there on his never-ending list of books to read.
