First time drawing this character, really enjoyed myself. Looking forward to doing more with him in the future ;)
Lochan is an Aardwolf character from my newest story, 'Legacy'. You can start reading it right here on FA if you have a hankerin' - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16364412/

Found some interesting information on Aardwolves. Here is a section of the more 'juicy' parts.
But in short - No - he's not a dog. More related to Hyena's although an evolutionary branch off about 10mil years ago.
No 'knot' as such either
Courtship is initiated by the aardwolf male following the female around, testing her receptivity through
short attacks or by prancing past her with his tail raised in the air, described as ‘flirting’ (Richardson
1985). She tries to bite him and frequently gives chase for short distances. This testing of the female
can continue for about ten days (Richardson 1985), until she comes into oestrus and shows interest to
follow the courting male herself. The pair then walks around together for various distances, while the
male makes short mounting attempts, lasting often a couple of seconds only. During these short mounts
no intromission takes place, and after dismounting the female follows the male who walks on. After
various time spans and distances covered permanent copulation is initiated. Copulation in aardwolves
lasts from one to four and a half hours, depending on whether it is disrupted by the female, another
male, or the male dismounts voluntarily. The penis remains inserted for the entire period, but with no
copulatory tie as found in canids (Ewer 1973; Richardson 1987b). Initial thrusting just after permanent
mounting is followed by more thrusting sequences at approximately hourly intervals, presumably
indicating multiple ejaculations (Richardson 1987b).
And the main text is here.

Enjoy. Be interested to see if Rukis does a nude and how she handles his physiology.
