Site Species

These files and characters are completely © to Wulfeh of Anarakhi, 2008-9. I have either created these creatures from scratch for Anarakhi, or I have spent time researching them. If found in use on any other site the owner will be reported, may have their site closed down and will have to deal with all the angry demons of Anarakhi. Peace.

General
The tiger, being the biggest of all big cats, is a powerful and sturdy solitary killer. There is about one tiger to every three lions, so litter mates tend to stick closer together than natural. Some small groups can grow into clans, with real leaders and ranks, but most remain a small family.

Appearance
Tigers, being the largest of the felidae family, weigh in at 306 kg (Siberian tiger). Though smaller subspecies weigh as little as 75 kg (Sumatran tigers). Their coats are are a reddish brown, orange or creamy colour, with white framing the face, belly and eye rims, with black, gray or brown stripes. The white tiger is all white with black stripes, and the ginger tiger is a collection of white (more so than the basic tiger) and oranges. The last two are rare, and can only be played if born onto the site or won in a contest.

Interesting Facts

• Tigers are known for their man-eating reputation, and have killed more humans than any other cat.
  
• Tigers are very spiritual animals, and are worshiped around the world.
  
• White and tabby tigers are always part Bengal, and are more often than not larger than the average Bengal.
  
• Tigers live in almost every single biome, including grassland, forests (evergreen and tropical) and rainforest's. Tigers like places with prey, cover and water, as they are powerful swimmers, and thick vegetation.

General
The lion, primarily from Africa, though Indian ones live here, too, are the more common specie found here. Second largest cats in the felidae family, they make up from their smaller size by populating the land with many litters within a few months.

Appearance
Coat colours rage from a dusty sand-colour to a rich golden honey, straight to dark and musty browns. White lions and albinos are a different colouration, but are extremely rare and can only be won or born onto the site. Large adult males can weigh up to 250 kg (550 lbs) in weight, and females 182 kg (lbs) in weight. They are the tallest of the felines at shoulder height, ranging from 123 cm in males and 107 cm in females.

Interesting Facts

• Lion's canines are roughly 8 cm (3.1") long.
  
• The thicker and darker a mane, the healthier the lion is, and the higher the chances of him copulating with a lioness.
  
• Dominant males are more likely to share their food with cubs than with the lionesses. Though their attitude towards young is often hostile, it can vary.
  
• Lionesses breed with males who kill their cubs, as when they have no cubs to raise they're sent into heat again. When they have cubs, heat is replaced by a maternal instinct to look after her current litter.

General
Mikashi is a wild cat sent back in time from the future - they are the descendants of today's African cheetah. Mikashi can be both tall and small, though usually are within the normal range of height a cheetah will have, though can grow to be taller than lions in some cases. They travel in large clans with a proper ranking system, unlike the simple and unintelligent rules of a lion pride.

Appearance
Mikashi are known for their incredibly long hair, and variety of coat patterns; they tend to have some kind of mohawk or head hair, and long, fluffy tails. They're also accustomed to spots, stripes, a plain colour or even odd markings which aren't commonly found on today's cheetahs. They're the same, sandy colour, however.

Interesting Facts

• Mikashi are the fastest cats on Anarakhi.
  
• Mikashi are far far more intelligent compared to lions and tigers, with a more advanced brain.
  
• Although they speak with and can understand tigers and lions, mikashi have a few words which only they understand, although the time travel has wiped most of them away from their memory.
  
• 'Mikashi' is both the plural and singular term for these big cats, but females are referred to as 'mikashess'.

General
Yeoni is a rare specie of cat which lives a solitary life and can breed for only a certain amount of time in its life. Female yeoni may give birth only once, as for the rest of her life she will be raising her cub. They have the most bulk of any other feline in comparison to its body, though their size can vary.

Appearance
Yeoni are known for their brilliant, green pelts, blue-ish heads and/or backs, thick, short sabers and white circles on the back of their ears, much like the tiger. But what really pulls them apart from the other cats is the major difference between males and females - male yeoni have a pair of tails and a great, blue mane, rounding their shoulders, chest and belly. Females, the more common sex, have only a partial mane on their hackles. Eye markings which make the at look as though they have long lashes are also common. Yeoni eyes range from ice blue to moss green, and all in between.

Interesting Facts

• Yeoni give birth to one child at a time, rarely ever a set of twins. The mother will raise her child for the rest of her life, usually until the offspring turns five and kills her, which marks the time they're ready to have children of their own.
  
• Male yeoni have shorter, almost unnoticeable saber teeth, and some don't have any at all.
  
• 'Yeon' is the singular term, and 'yeoni' the plural. Female yeoni are called 'yeonesses'.
  
• These cats can adjust to almost any climate and area, though they prefer places with large quantities of water which they can swim in, as they are able to hold their breath for twenty minutes at a time, as well as see and speak under water.
