Detail from the current page of Project Future: http://projectfuturecomic.com/strip.php?strip=491
Owing to other projects, ill health and such, Merlin wasn't able to do a Project Future page this week. However, she did suggest some possible filler, which we might use in future. However, it so happened that in my notes I had recently written 'Jakob eating a watermelon the way wolves do and totally blissing out'.
Once she'd got over the initial surprise that wolves enjoy eating melon, this happened. I suggested the wagging tail and also the rubber gloves, not because shiny gloves look cool, but for the practical reason that it'll be easier to clean the melon off afterwards. I did add the rubber leggings just because they look cool, though.
There is another version, which I might post in Scraps, where the crotch was obvious to the point that it'd break rating. What you're seeing is the fixed version, which I think works well - where Jakob is clearly male while also allowing it to be posted in General. The perils of skin-tight pants on a guy.
Anyway, this is one time where 'Cubi fashion is actually practical.

To be fair, a watermelon is largely water, and Jakob is omnivorous anyway by virtue of being a wolf anthro in the DMFA universe. However, it is an interesting field of study. Apparently coyotes will steal melons from the vine. Wolves and most dogs enjoy watermelon, possibly because of the sugar - unlike cats, which are obligate carnivores, canids do have taste receptors for sweet tastes. Apparently they will consume berries and similar other fruits in the wild, but meat does form the bulk of their diet.
While I'd not recommend trying it, there was a Border collie in the UK who lived to be at least 25 off a totally vegan diet.

Have any otter characters so you can have them doing the exact opposite with a watermelon and being absolutely disgusted: https://i.imgur.com/5VO9QlS.jpg
Also this? Absolutely adorable I can hardly handle it. My god.
