Details for my "WildRoo" character species.

Please note he is NOT a kangaroo; simply a chimera that is a marsupial species.
And yes, he's a he. :P
=====================================

DRAWING GUIDES?

Seems people have trouble drawing him, especially his head!
If you need to base his anatomic structure off an existing creature to use them as a general guide for his form the following will get you closer then most:
Head: Lion
-- Teeth: wolf
-- Nose: V Shaped nose. with tips that tuck under on the outer edges.

Body: nothing overly close to go by, but the best suggestion is to mix a velociraptor with a kangaroo.
-- Feet: His feet have a unique four toe design with the body weight being on the center toe and the other three only used for stability/balance when walking in a bipedal fashion.
-- Pouch: he has a pouch that appears to have a sharp definition but the opening is only in the middle.

== Motion ==

When the species walks or hunts they do so in a bipedal raptor like fashion but hop like kangaroos for traveling long distances. When they walk bipedal they use all four toes for stability, but most the weight is on the center large toe. When moving long distances the side three toes raise up, rarely contacting the ground while hopping.
They stand either horizontally or vertically and do "sit" on their tails like roos.

Males have a thicker mane and females have thicker chest fur/ fluffier poof.
Both male and females have pouches and both take care of the joey(?) once it begins to leave the pouch.
Only females produce milk while the joey is in the pouch.

The species is carnivorous.
Both males and females hunt; there is no distinction between their hunting capabilities (unlike lions) but the male usually is the head of the hunting team.

== Courtship ==
This species has exemplary vocal cords and males will sing to lure in females. (They also use this as to challenge other males, confuse prey, and lure prey in.) Males will compete musically and physically in order to show off their strengths and attract females that are not already mated.
Depending on the status of the environment a male may either mate with only one female or have three or four females. Males and females who mate usually just stay together for a season, but some may stay together for years.

== Birth ==
The young are born at a very early stage of development – after a gestation of 120 days (4 months)
The joey will stay in the pouch for five months before starting to leave the pouch for small periods of time.
It is usually fed by its mother until reaching 18 months but stays in the fathers pouch if the mother goes hunting. This is very helpful when in areas with little prey; one will be off hunting while the other takes care of the joey 24/7 if necessary.
