Species Guide will be linked here once done.

Anatomy: Their anatomy is very similar to a ferrets, though with slightly longer legs and a curious 'tooth' like formation on their skulls that seems to 'show' even when their mouths are closed. Those little animals also seem to have very good eyesight plus a protective membrane to cover their eyes while swimming and their ears usually are able to tightly flatten against their heads, preventing water from getting inside as well. With a set of very sharp teeth pointed backwards, those guys are also perfect fishers and, along with their ability to swim, fishes do consist most of their diets. Sharkerrets also have a fin shapped tuft on their backs that is used a lot for communication purposes and also helps a lot with understanding the mood your Sharkie is on, after all, you really don't want it to bite your fingers off. Those little furry creatures are also extremely malleable and have the habit of literally curling up into a tight ball shape.

Size: Sharkerrets are pretty small marsupials, being usually the size of normal house cats, though there are records of big Sharkies that reached the size or Maine Coons.

Fur: All Sharkerrets, having short or long fur, have a very fluffy and silky to the touch pelt which can have up to four colours (though never neon colours). Their coats are also divided into basically three layers, a very tight and warm fur against the skin, to assure the creature is warmer, a second layer that is impermeable to really try and keep water away from the skin and a thick and usually long third layer that is the one that we see. This last layer is pretty thick and strong, though soft to the touch. It's also this third layer that has a longer tuft in their backs, having this small agglomeration of fur born into a fin shape that can move according to the Sharkie state of spirit. It's also used during mating seasons during their incredibly adorable 'dating dance' that basically consists on fluffing up their fur all they can.

Ears and Tails: As the species was domesticated (or as we tried to) more types of ears and tail began showing up and now, each day, we find new variations of those, though they remain with their basic purposes. Sharkerrets ears usually have the ability of tightly pinning against the skull to keep water out while they dive, and their powerful tails usually help with changing their directions while on the water, or when climbing trees or running, though they're not exactly great at the last part.

Eyes: As mentioned before, Sharkies have a pretty great eyesight and an interesting fact about it is that like cats, their eyes reflect any light intensely, specially during night.

Mating: Sharkerrets lay basically transparent eggs where you can see the small 'baby in progress'. The egg usually hatches within a week after being laid with a very basic baby that is pretty small and needs their parent's pouch to survive, though studies assure that orphans can be easily raised inside a 'fake pouch', made with a Christmas sock, loads of fluffy textiles, a warm lamp and a feeding bottle for kittens. The Sharkerret is ready to be out of the pouch within a week, now with their pelts fully formed (though extra fluffy) and a very strong sense of curiosity to use. Also, despise their mean look, Sharkies are actually very good parents and usually do anything to protect their kits, so it is wise to take extra care when approaching the kits while they're with their parents.

Extra Points:
- Custom edits (be them of any kind) are rare.
- Heterochromia can happen.
- Coloured scleras can happen, though those are rare too.
- Same sex couples can mate.
- Glowing colourations are very rare and cannot take the entire Sharkerret's body.
- Glowing eyes are very rare as well.
