~*Half Breed:Origin*~
Half-breed's began to appear in the late 1600's, and were the top animal to fear, worldwide. Half-Breeds came to near extinction in the early 1700's, not even 100 years after they started to appear. The were hunted for sport, protecting live stock, and for selling their precious pelts. Until one pair of domesticated Half-Breed's gave birth to a litter of 16 cubs. The owner of the Half-Breeds released the 16 cubs into the wild when they reached of sexual age, better then sending them off to another owner. The 16 Half-Breeds then had 8 litters, because In-Breeding in Half-Breeds usually never occurs. Ever since then, Half-Breeds began building their numbers to nearly 10,000 worldwide, and numbers are climbing drasticlly since the mid- 1900's.
~*Half Breed:Behavior*~
Male Half-Breeds are extremly aggressive and will fight any male that crosses into territory, and will often
bully females around for food.
Female Half-Breeds are more timid than the males, but will only fight when protecting young, or fighting over
scraps of food or territory.
~*Half Breed:Anatomy*~
The anatomy of this species is strange. Males have the body shape similar of a canid, and females have the body shape of a feline. Males and females have similar vocales, though males have much deeper tones then that of a female. Male pelt colors range from pure black, blood red's, deep blue's,gold's, and whites.Female pelt colors range from Pure white, gray's, browns,often pale green's, gold's, and random shades of red. Males are slightly larger than females in size,have small eyes, and have wide paws for grabbing and climbing. Females have large eyes, and wide spread paws for climbing but are useless for grabbing. Males and females have thick tails, but occasionally there will be one with a thinner tail, but longer than its original tail. Markings on males are wide spread and large, and sometimes spotted markings, with many lines rowing through it. Females have patches of markings, and range from anywhere on her rump, head, chest, tail, ect, and sometimes no markings at all. Males and females have slitted eyes of any kind. Males have large, blunt ears(Hyena,Normal,Ripped) whereas females have normal sized, pointy ears(Neko, Long, Caracal, Goblin, Cat).

~*Half Breed:Reproduction(Maybe Graphic)*~
When a female Half-Breed comes into season, her nose color or ear insides will change to a bright, neon blue(adult) or ice blue(first time breeding), depending on age. Females come of sexual age at just 10 Months old, and males are able to start reproducing at 8 months old. The female would run around, rubbing against an object, putting scents everywhere from her scent glands. The female's scent glands only work when its mating season. She will also yowl,hiss,chirp, or purr loudly to attract males. When a male is in breeding season, his eye color would turn into a neon version of his regular eye color, and his markings will go darker(or if the character had black markings, they would go lighter) and howl to see if she's around. Once the male has found the female, he would put on a display, such as exposing his throat while making rumbling or hissing noises, and waving his tail around. If the female accepts, she will go into a crouched position, and move her tail off to the side. The male would then walk over and start mounting her, for 15 minutes. Since the males are more canid, the pair would go into a dog knot.AFTER mating, the male would stay with the female for a while, licking and nuzzling her until she chases him off after a week. Half-Breeds rarely mate for life, and will mate with a different Half-Breed every time, though certain Half-Breed's choose to stay together. After the male has left, the female might mate with other males, though the first male that mates with her will be the father of that litter, so if she mates with any other male, they wouldn't impregnate her. The female is pregnant for 9 months(2 weeks in real life time).Matings take place in late autumn, and cubs are born in early or late summer.
~*Half Breed:Raising Young*~
Before the female gives birth, she'll look for underground, abandoned dens to settle for when having her cubs. She could be in labour for about 2-48 hours depending on age or health. After giving birth, the female might suspect litter sizes to be around 4-9 cubs, though rarely, around 14-16 cubs. The cubs would nurse off her for nearly 5 months of their lives, but they are introduced meat at 3 months old. Cubs are born blind and deaf, and are unable to protect themselves, so the female must be cautious when choosing her den site. Cubs grow rapidly after they are weaned off of her milk. The cubs would then leave her to start a family of their own.
~*Half Breed:Life Expectancy*~
Half-Breeds live for 90-100 years
Males stop breeding at the age of 85.
Females stop breeding at the age of 80.
~*Half Breed:Sociality*~
