((WIP))
Species: The Bear Hound
Bear hounds are very rare and a species near extinction. They are six feet tall at highest (standing on all four paws); runts are 6 to 11 inches shorter. They have large muzzles and pointed ears. Fur varies, but often they have somewhat thick fur. Markings tend to be rare, small markings but some dogs have no markings or a few bigger markings. Markings are not passed down from parent to pup. Bear hounds are often dark colored and stronger males grow fangs that are a few inches long or even enough to show when the dog is not baring his teeth. Females will NEVER get fangs, but some have small 'manes' down the back or longer tails. Diets consist of meat and some plants. (Bear hounds are omnivores).
Families and packs
Bear hounds find mates a few months after they mature into young adults. They keep the same mate for life and often have multiple litters. While pups are growing up, there is a pack system similar to wolves', but when the hounds hit a young adult age they are kicked out of the pack and a new litter is born after all the pups have left.
Growing up
Pups learn to walk a few weeks after they are born. Younger teens are taught to hunt and find edible food. After being kicked out of their pack, they go off to find a mate. When bear hounds get old, they find an unused den or dig there own and live there before they die with their mate.
Food and Eating
Bear dogs hunt birds, rodents, deer, and rarely dogs if they have no other food available. Plant leaves and berries are good snacks for pups growing up until they can hunt for themselves.
Still a WIP, I can't think of anything else for now.
