oh dear, please excuse this cover... i don't have my tablet >.>

about
don't have a name for it yet(suggestions welcome), but this is a nocturnal species that lives in the forest, primarily in the tall trees. they can climb fast and easy due to their lightweight bodies and claws. their long tail helps to balance them especially while jumping between trees. large ears and eyes help them find their way around at night in the dark. they have no pupils as they bring in as much light as they can with their entire eye. they prey on squirrels, mice, small birds, frogs, and occasionally fish. they are usually solitary, but when they find a mate they will stay together for life. their offspring will stay with them until they can fend for themselves.

features!
- dog like head with large dog ears, a short-ish dog muzzle and large pupil-less eyes
- males have fur fluff along their spine from the top of the head to about a quarter of the way down their tail.
- skinny feline body
- thin but musclar legs
- small paws with retractable claws
- really long lion-like tail. males have larger fluff at the end.
- males average size is 65 cm, and about 45lbs.
- females average size is 55cm, and about 30lbs
- males have brighter colors than females.
- colors include all natural dog, cat, and horse colors.
- however the eyes can be any color!

Hello, I'm wondering if this contest is still open, as I'd like to draw your species - they sound pretty cool.

[saorsa]

Yep still open, for at least another month. I'll extend it if I don't have many entries though
