This Maned Wolf is actually not a dog, a wolf or a fox! It's a species all it's own. And it's pretty darn beautiful - but also 100% looks like a Werewolf.

The Fishing Cat does exactly what it says; it's the best fisherman in the cat species. They live near water in different parts of the world, but they're on the brink of extinction due to human expansion.

The Sand Cut has fur that grows between it's toes for extra insulation; it helps them cope with the heat of the hot sand.
