Chupakabra Hound
Evolved from T.savannusa due to competition with themselves they moved to zone G. To cope with a lighter build for hunting they loss more of its feathers on its back to reduce weight. Dermal bones from the skull which were mutated and split of from the skull and into the ear gradually became more connected with the eardrum creating a stape and the nerve that it amplified noises as the bones causes sound to pass through to the nerves as signals more effectively.
Found in zone G they get up to 3.2 feet long(to get better success of their larger prey). They hunt dead carcasses, S.mesomasaous, S. katadysius, S. china, G. elachistus and G.pidimatreximus. It also eats the juveniles of S.richnoceras and S.oploaftius.They come in packs of 3-6. They hunt mostly at dawn taking advantage of most species not as concentrated being able to ambush their prey much easier.To find their prey they hear for vibrations from footstep from their sand, smell and spotting their prey. They use their hearing to find their prey which cannot be seen for example they can know where their prey is on the other side of a sand hill by hearing their footsteps. They have a matriarch and it leads a pack to hunt its prey and nest together with other packs. Specimens that are matriarchs are the oldest in the pack which knows every spot to find prey or water. Matriarchs get to eat first as a sign of respect as the matriarch is what the pack relies on to get food and water. When a matriarch dies the second eldest in the pack will become matriarch. They get a sandy grey look to camouflage in the sand but males get bright yellow feathers.
When breeding(not seasonal) males will leave their current group, together, to seek out females that they court in 1:1 sessions, males display to the females with their bright feathers and jump around the female to court it on a 1 on 1 session, the female will select the dominant male in the event two males want the same female. If the female accepts this offering for court they would then mate and packs would meet up in one area to mate done once mating is done they would go off in their own packs to build a nest. Packs stay together to make one large nesting area to insure better protection from raiders like D. pantheropteryx but will hunt separately to raise their young. Males only give up courting females when there is no female left. Males that do not end up mating, stick with the group anyway and help take care of the nest/hunt and given up males help defend other parents' eggs on that ocassion of breeding until the next breeding encounter appears. Females unable to find mates stick with the group anyway and help take care of the nest/hunt. The males and females form a new group together after mating. This group is composed of all of the males and all of the females, even ones that didn't mate. A female can lay to 2-7 eggs but only 2-5 surviving due to predation by D.katharagnathus. Once the egg hatches the female would take care of the young for about 1 year until they grew into young adult. They also mate for life so single males will only try to find a mate.
