Jungle Cat (Felis chaus)

Family: Cat Family (Felidae)

IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern

Despite what its name suggests the Jungle Cat is not typically found in jungles, instead being a resident of densely vegetated swampy areas of northeastern Africa and western, southern and southeastern Asia. Like most wild cats members of this species are solitary, territorial (marking the outer limits of their territories with strong-smelling urine and saliva) and primarily active at night but not strictly nocturnal, waking up sporadically throughout the day to search for food (feeding primarily on small vertebrates such as rodents, lizards, fishes and frogs, though on occasion they may also consume fruit or target prey as large as Wild Boars and young Chitals (a medium-sized species of deer.)) Jungle Cats come together only to breed (producing high-pitch calls and sniffing the scent markings of other members of their species when receptive to mating,) and while females provide for their litters of 3-6 kittens largely on their own, males have been reported to remain nearby to defend their young for a short period after birth. Newborn Jungle Cats are larger and more developed at birth than many other cat species, being capable of hunting for themselves at around 6 months old and being fully independent by the time they are 9 months old.

My girl Chiyome, Tesshin’s mom. She’s named after Mochizuki Chiyome, the founder of a group of female ninjas during the 16th century.

august 17th is black cat appreciation day! so i drew my black cat ocs, roost (left) & spooky (right).

[image description: a cartoony digital drawing of two black cats lying side by side with a blue banner that says “black cat appreciation day!” in orange text. the cat on the left has completely solid, short black fur and almond-shaped blue eyes while the cat on the right has long fur with droopy orange eyes, an orange flower behind her ear, white paws, a white tail tip as well as a white throat patch that is connected to her white snout. the cats are facing & looking away from each other, smiling & blushing. end of image description]

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Banded mongoose females love drama. More specifically, they love to cause it; when mating season rolls around, females from one gang will start a fight with another gang. Then, when most of the males are thoroughly engaged, the females will sneak off to mate with any available rival males. Afterwards, they return to their original group, where the unsuspecting males help raise the pups as their own.

danny phantom jumpscare. frostbite sketchy

#danny phantom #frostbite #sketch #kept pretty on model for the most part. would be fun to incorporate the apelike aspects of actual yeti myths tho #theyre pretty.. idk. wolfish? i guess? more of a carnivoran feel to em #im not actually sure why i went for digi legs here

also shoutout to the lady who saw an amur leopard for the first time in her life and her first comment was “ive never seen an animal before that i wanted so badly to wear”. i’m not against fur or animal products. theyre way more ecologically friendly and sturdy than plastic alternatives and there is a lot of ara misinformation surrounding the production of fur and leather but uh. kind of a weird thing to think about an animal so critically endangered that there are less than 100 in the wild today and field researchers can tell which individual left which paw prints because the population is so small. also respectfully, a leopard would use your half-eaten corpse as a christmas ornament let’s not pretend

#maybe i’m just biased toward large carnivorans lol #jordan talks

My old OC from sixth grade, Tala, sister of Weed and daughter of Gin and Sakura. If I were to make her again/revamp her, I’d make her more more aggressive than her brother due to a desperate need to prove herself/earn the approval of the people around her and frustration at Weed’s hypocrisy/impracticality and the sexism of the Ohu Army. People pleaser...to a point, polite, deeply sad but tries very hard to hide it. Idolizes Jerome, but thinks Weed nerfed all his best qualities. Has eldest daughter syndrome like whoa.

Akita Inu x Kishu Inu x Husky mix (Sakura was a Kishu/Husky mix).

Differences from Weed-white marking on back of neck/forehead, missing eye after a run-in with Hougen.

Bonus: 7th grade art of Weed and Tala, straight from the archives.

i was having a complete mental break last night/crying violently so my gf called me to read me the wikipedia about bears. 10/10 emotional support would call again for all my ursidae needs

#unironically really helped me calm down #i love them so much #did u know bears are doglike carnivorans #they are so neat #then they started talking about synthesizers afterwards and it was also very sweet

I’ve been playing clangen on and off recently. i’ve been wanting to draw a few of my meowers, and, not counting the doodle I made a couple weeks ago of birdstar, I’m starting with mousejay!

he’s a super chill guy who often has his head in the clouds. he was actually kinda snappy as an apprentice but his mentor cooper taught him to be more forgiving & patient! he has a weak paw from the time he stepped in a twoleg trap, and he came to sunflowerclan when he was 3 moons old.

this style of coloring cat eyes is pretty new for me! I really like it :D
