Pasteras, or Teras, are nocturnal, dog like creatures that live in jungle caves. They may look like dogs, or wolves, but Teras are actually more closely related to bats than canines. They have fairly poor eyesight, but they also possess an amazing sense of hearing, taste, touch, and smell. They are omnivores and eat most anything that could pass as a meal. (Bugs, small mammals, fruit, etc....)
Teras have thick, furry pelts that help them stay warm in their natural cave homes. Their fur sheds water much like the feathers of a duck; locking out the damp air of the caves and keeping their body heat trapped inside. Because of this, Teras are excellent swimmers, but tend to overheat if they are in the sun too log.
To accompany their specialized fur, they have long fuzzy tails that end with a plume of soft, silky hair. This extra fur is used as a weapon in defense. The long, thin strands leaves a stinging mark when they crack their tails like a whip. A Tera's tail also assists in its balance when climbing steep cave ledges or trees.
This species was thought to have gone extinct in the early 1700's, the last sighting being in 1712. But recently, scientists have found hoards of them living in caves under rainforests all over the world. It seems that they took refuge underground after they were nearly hunted to extinction for their extra fluffy fur. But now, more than enough have been found to declare the creatures alive once again. Their shy, laid back nature makes them popular house pets.
Do you have what it takes to care for these wonderful animals?
