species name: Terronites (Canus Terradraconis)
why you want them? i've been wanting a species for a while, and i just don't have the skills required to make one on my own. I've been looking around at different species for a while, but this one really takes my fancy.
what are they?:Terronites are a species that hasn't evolved much in the time since dinosaurs. Like alligators, it's very easy to see how they are descended from their prehistoric ancestors. Here are several more things you should know about Terronites:
-Their many teeth have been designed to aid them in gathering and eating food.
-The average Terronite diet consists mostly of roots; their two front teeth allow them to dig into the ground to harvest them. They do, on occasion, find some tasty fruit or small rodents.
-Terronites have two sets of horns on their bodies; on their head, and their tail. These horns are purely for defensive purposes, and Terronites are known to whip their tails at their enemies.
-They are mostly found in remote, savannah ecosystems, but they have been known to expand into other areas.
-A Terronite's eyes are rimmed with dark fur to protect them from the glare of the sun.
-Their tales have large puffs of fur, perfect for swatting at gnats or flies.
-Terronites can sport a variety of different fur colorings, and they are not restricted to traditional colorings and patterns.
-Terronites group in clusters of five to six, or sometimes more. They remain in these clusters for the rest of their lives, unless for some reason they are forced to leave.
-The average lifespan of a Terronite is almost equal to that of a human. The longest recorded lifespan for a Terronite is 110 years.
-Female Terronites give birth to only one pup at a time, and they are known to breed about 4 to 5 times in their lives.
-Terronites are extremely intelligent, being able to adapt and learn quickly.
-Terronites have non-retractable claws that aid in their running
-Terronites are extremely allergic to radishes. No one has found the source of this allergy, but it is highly advised not to have radishes around a Terronite.
-As Terronites enhabit mostly savannah enviroments, their natural enemies include hippopotami and lions. Unfortunately, many Terronites have met their end in the jaws of a hippopotamus. Lions and Terronites sometimes encroach on each others territory, causing turf wars.
congrats! your now the owner of this species! i loved all the work you put into them. take good care of them
