What’s more to say of rats, they crawl, they eat, they breed, and they sleep and get into almost everything, but what’s more they are masters of the food court. This is so much so that they are no longer seen as food, but rather the finders of food. The most common of the subtypes they are social beyond grouping in mass and guarding in full. There is many different types of rats, for different purposes.
One of the largest muroids, it is a rodent with a body up to 25 cm (10 in) long, and a similar tail length; the male weighs on average 350 g (12 oz) and the female 250 g (9 oz).
The length can be up to 25 cm (10 in), with the tail a further 25 cm (10 in), the same length as the body. Adult body weight averages 550 g (19 oz) in males and about 350 g (12 oz) in females, but a very large individual can reach 900 g (32 oz). Rats weighing over 1 kg (2.2 lb) are exceptional.
Rats have acute hearing, are sensitive to ultrasound, and possess a very highly developed olfactory sense. The vision of a pigmented rat is poor, around 20/600, while a non-pigmented (albino) with no melanin in its eyes has both around 20/1200 vision and a terrible scattering of light within its vision. rats are dichromates who perceive colours rather like a human with red-green colorblindness, and their colour saturation may be quite faint. Their blue perception, however, also has UV perceptors, allowing them to see ultraviolet lights that some species cannot.
The rat is usually active at night and is a good swimmer, both on the surface and underwater, they are poor climbers. rats dig well, and often excavate extensive burrow systems.
The rat is a true omnivore and will consume almost anything, but cereals form a substantial part of its diet.
Rats are known to burrow extensively, both in the wild and in captivity, if given access to a suitable substrate.
Burrows provide rats with shelter and food storage as well as safe, thermoregulated nest sites.Rats use their burrows to escape from perceived threats in the surrounding environment—for example, rats will retreat to their burrows following a sudden, loud noise or while fleeing an intruder.
This is why the home of the rats Rose thorp is actually located underground. Tho the tunnels have been made larger to be open to more larger creatures.
Rats often live in huge colony's with hundreds in population, A few larger are controlled by groups rather then a single member, rat colony's are often seen as a dictatorship how ever there are many that aren't. Rats are rarely seen alone.

The Ringtail (Bassariscus astutus) is a mammal of the raccoon family (thus not actually a cat)
The eyes are large and purple, each surrounded by a patch of light fur. It is smaller than a housecat, measuring 30–42 cm long with a tail of 31–44 cm and weighing 0.8–1.5 kg.
The ankle joint is flexible and able to rotate over 180 degrees, a trait helping make it an agile climber. Their considerable tail provides balance for negotiating narrow ledges and limbs, even allowing them to reverse directions by performing a cartwheel. Ringtails also can ascend narrow passages by stemming (pressing all feet on one wall and their back against the other or pressing both right feet on one wall and both left feet on the other), and wider cracks or openings by ricocheting between the walls.
This makes the ringtail one of the best scouts around the land.
It is nocturnal, solitary, timid, and rarely seen. It is omnivorous, eating fruits, berries, insects, lizards, small rodents, and birds. Owls, foxes, coyotes, raccoons and bobcats will prey upon ringtails.
Ringtail Cats are the acrobats of the subtypes and second most common, they can get to just about anywhere and in anything.
Ringtails often travel in pairs or solo they have a knack for exploring and are often the scouts of the area. Rarely are they seen in a large pack for very long.

Tanuki or raccoon dog which is the common name not mystical is a member of the canid family.
In reflection of their omnivorous diet, raccoon dogs have small and weak canines and carnassials, flat molars and relatively long intestines (1.5-2 times longer than other canids). They have long torsos and short legs. The tail is short, amounting to less than 1/3 of the animal's total length and hangs below the tarsal joints without touching the ground. The ears are short, and protrude only slightly from the fur. Weight fluctuates according to season; in March, they weigh 3 kg (6.6 lbs), while in August to early September, males average 6.5–7 kg (14-15 lbs), with some individuals attaining a maximal weight of 9–10 kg (20-22 lbs). Average adult head and body length is about 65 cm (2 ft)
Raccoon dogs are omnivores which feed on insects, mouse-like rodents, amphibians, birds, fish, reptiles, molluscs, carrion and insectivores. Frogs are the most commonly taken amphibians; Raccoon dogs will prey on waterfowl, passerines and migrating birds. Raccoon dogs will eat beached fish and fish trapped in small water bodies. They rarely catch fish during the spawning season, but will eat many during the spring thaw. Plant food is highly variable, and includes bulbs, rhizomes, oats, millets, maize, nuts, fruits, berries, grapes, melons, watermelons, pumpkins and tomatoes. they have been observed to climb trees to forage for fruits and berries; raccoon dogs use their curved claws to climb such trees.
Tanuki are considered demigods, these beasts are hardly seen, be them master of disguise or rare to the point of being not seen is unknown. Some claim they are able to shape shift others claim that is nothing but legend. The largest of the subtypes, it is mostly solitary coming together only to breed.

Skunk species vary in size from about 15.6 to 37 inches (40 to 94 cm) and in weight from about 1.1 pounds (0.50 kg) to 18 pounds (8.2 kg). They have a moderately elongated body with relatively short, well-muscled legs, and long front claws for digging.
Skunks are omnivorous, eating both plant and animal material and changing their diet as the seasons change. They eat insects and larvae, earthworms, small rodents, lizards, salamanders, frogs, snakes, birds, moles, and eggs. They also commonly eat berries, roots, leaves, grasses, fungi, and nuts.
Skunks are crepuscular and are solitary animals when not breeding, though in the colder parts of their range they may gather in communal dens for warmth. During the day, they shelter in burrows that they dig with their powerful front claws, or in other man-made or natural hollows as the opportunity arises.
Skunks are probably one of the most dangerous even with out being a meat eater, their smell alone drives most away, having a chance to cause even blindness if taken wrong.
They are often used as guards and guard the opening to rose thorp.

Large Breed Coyote -
Small Breed Coyote
The original adult coyotes these tend to be larger and more aggressive then the new counter part. Often seen as the leaders of a pack they tend to be more out going.
Coyote alt adults are much smaller then the original in body mass they are normally quiet faster as they have less to move. Normally given beta ranking in packs or rarely alphas. They are more quiet less aggressive.
Coyotes are mostly nocturnal but seen during the day at some times, they normally hunt in pairs and form small groups. Coyotes are mostly carnivores eating small animals but will eat bugs at times also. Located in all areas including where humans inhabit they will eat even the dead tho they prefer fresh. - Litter size ranges from 1 to 19 pups
Coyotes typically grow up to 75–87 centimeters (30–34 inches) in length and on average, weigh from 7–21 kilograms (15–46 pounds)
Coyotes are pack livers as with most wolfs. Often you may hear one of these animals to never see him, able to stalk prey and confuse their enemies they are more advanced then coyotes of the normal world. But bear the same pack structure.
Alpha – Alpha
Beta – Beta
Gamma
Pups
Omega
Alpha male and female are always mates these are not fully leaders but normally the most out going causing others to follow.
Beta male and female are always mates also these just under the alphas are a form of second
Gammas are the middle coyote no one stands out no one wants to they are fit to follow and that’s all, those that aren’t beta alpha or omega are in this status
Omegas are the den guarders the lowest status of the pack they are often seen with tail down and ears down.

Large Breed Bobcat -
Small Breed Bobcat
Though the Bobcat prefers rabbits and hares, it will hunt anything from insects and small rodents to deer. Prey selection depends on location and habitat, season, and abundance. Like most cats, the bobcat is territorial and largely solitary, although there is some overlap in home ranges. It uses several methods to mark its territorial boundaries, including claw marks and deposits of urine or feces.
The Bobcat is crepuscular. It keeps on the move from three hours before sunset until about midnight, and then again from before dawn until three hours after sunrise. Each night it will move from 2 to 7 miles (3.2 to 11 km) along its habitual route. This behavior may vary seasonally, as Bobcats become more diurnal during fall and winter. This is a response to the activity of their prey, which are more active during the day in colder months.
The adult male Bobcat is 28 to 40 inches (71 to 100 cm) long, averaging 35 inches (89 cm); with a stubby 4 to 7 inches (10 to 18 cm) tail, which has a "bobbed" appearance and gives the species its name. An adult stands about 20 to 24 inches (51 to 61 cm) at the shoulders. Adult males usually range from 20 to 30 pounds (9.1 to 14 kg); females average about 13 to 21 pounds (5.9 to 9.5 kg).The Bobcat is muscular, and its hind legs are longer than its front legs, giving it a bobbing gait. At birth it weighs 0.6 to 0.75 pound (270 to 340 g) and is about 10 inches (25 cm) in length. By its first year it will reach about 10 pounds (4.5 kg).

Normal Lions -
Barbary Lions -
Rogue Lions
Pride standing:
All cubs when born are in the same pride as their parents. There are cubs born to nomads(Loners)
Bought Pets:
A lion bought from sales that have no pride are automatically given a Nomad standing till a pride is found or made.
Lions are the main inhabitant of the Savannah, Unmoved and unpredictable they cover all parts of the lands.
Lions are powerful animals that usually hunt in coordinated groups and stalk their chosen prey. However, they are not particularly known for their stamina they only run fast in short bursts and need to be close to their prey before starting the attack. They take advantage of factors that reduce visibility; many kills take place near some form of cover or at night. Typically, several lionesses work together and encircle the herd from different points. Once they have closed with a herd, they usually target the closest prey. The attack is short and powerful; they attempt to catch the victim with a fast rush and final leap. The prey usually is killed by strangulation. Smaller prey, though, may simply be killed by a swipe of a lion's paw.
The prey consists mainly of large mammals. Occasionally, they take relatively small species. Lions hunting in groups are capable of taking down most animals, even healthy adults.
Lions are predatory carnivores who manifest two types of social organization. Some are residents, living in groups, called prides. Prides may range from a newly formed group to a large group. Male cubs are excluded from their maternal pride when they reach maturity.
The second organizational behavior is labeled nomads, who range widely and move about sporadically, either singularly or in pairs. Pairs are more frequent among related males who have been excluded from their birth pride.
Lionesses do the majority of the hunting for their pride, being smaller, swifter and more agile than the males, and unencumbered by the heavy and conspicuous mane, which causes overheating during exertion. They act as a co-ordinated group in order to stalk and bring down the prey successfully. However, if nearby the hunt, males have a tendency to dominate the kill once the lionesses have succeeded.
Both males and females defend the pride against intruders. Some individual lions consistently lead the defense against intruders, while others lag behind. Lions tend to assume specific roles in the pride. Those lagging behind may provide other valuable services to the group.
- Normal Adult Lions
Weights for adult lions range between 150–250 kg (330–550 lb) for males and 120–182 kg (264–400 lb) for females.
Head and body length is 170–250 cm (5 ft 7 in – 8 ft 2 in) in males and 140–175 cm (4 ft 7 in – 5 ft 9 in) in females; shoulder height is about 123 cm (4 ft) in males and 107 cm (3 ft 6 in) in females. The tail length is 90–105 cm (2 ft 11 in - 3 ft 5 in) in males and 70–100 cm in females (2 ft 4 in – 3 ft 3 in).

Flamingos often stand on one leg, the other tucked beneath the body. Flamingos filter-feed on brine shrimp and blue-green algae. Their beaks are specially adapted to separate mud and silt from the food they eat, and are uniquely used upside-down. Flamingos are very social birds that live in colonies that can number in the thousands. These large colonies are believed to serve three purposes for the flamingos; predator avoidance, maximizing food intake and exploiting scarce suitable nesting sites.
Sizes vary with types

The narwhal is a uniquely specialized Arctic predator. In the winter, it feeds on benthic prey, mostly flatfish, at depths of up to 1500 m under dense pack ice. Narwhals exhibit seasonal migrations with high fidelity of return to preferred ice-free summering grounds. Narwhals normally congregate in groups of about five to ten individuals. In the summer, several groups come together forming larger aggregations. At times, male narwhals rub their tusks together in an activity called "tusking".
Sizes:
Male narwhals weigh up to 1,600 kilograms (3,500 lb), and the females weigh around 1,000 kilograms (2,200 lb).
The tusk can be up to 3 meters (9.8 ft) long—compared with a body length of 4–5 meters (13–16 ft)—and weigh up to 10 kilograms (22 lb). About one in 500 males has two tusks

Black Tipped Reef Shark - Most blacktip reef sharks are found over reef ledges and sandy flats, though they have also been known to enter brackish and freshwater environments. This species typically attains a length of 1.6 m (5.2 ft).
Its diet is composed primarily of small teleost fishes, including mullet, groupers, grunters, jacks, mojarras, wrasses, surgeonfish, and smelt-whitings. Squid, octopus, cuttlefish, shrimp, and mantis shrimp are also taken, as well as carrion and smaller sharks and rays, though this is rare.

Thresher Shark - Named for and easily recognised by their exceptionally long, thresher-like tail or caudal fins (which can be as long as the total body length), thresher sharks are active predators; the tail is actually used as a weapon to stun prey.
Thresher Sharks may reach a length of 6.1 metres (20 ft) and a weight of over 500 kilograms (1,100 lb)
Thresher sharks are solitary creatures which keep to themselves.
Hammerhead Shark - t was determined recently that the hammer-like shape of the head evolved to enhance the animal's vision. The positioning of the eyes give the shark good binocular vision, as well as 360-degree vision in the vertical plane, meaning they can see above and below them at all times.
Like all sharks, hammerheads have electroreceptory sensory pores called ampullae of Lorenzini. By distributing the receptors over a wider area, hammerheads can sweep for prey more effectively.[5] These sharks have been able to detect an electrical signal of half a billionth of a volt. The hammer also allows the nostrils to be placed farther apart, increasing its ability to detect chemical gradients and localize the source.
Hammerhead sharks are known to eat a large range of items including fish, squid, octopus, crustaceans, and other hammerhead sharks. Stingrays are a particular favorite.
Hammerheads range from 0.9 to 6 m (3.0 to 20 ft) long and weigh from 500 to 1000 pounds.
