Strong, amphibious predators, Avka Felos make their homes in and around any body of fresh water they come across. As ambush hunters, they wade through shallow waters or along the shore, waiting for unsuspecting prey to swim by before pouncing. Mated pairs often hunt together, with one Avka Felo stalking from the shore and the other hiding in shadows underwater where they navigate using their sensitive whiskers. When fishing is not possible, they employ a similar hunting strategy on land, ready to eat anything they can catch. Avka Felos will either build or claim riverside dens for themselves and prefer shelters with both aquatic and terrestrial exits connected by one large chamber. Juveniles remain within the den until they are able to join their parents on hunts and often learn to hunt terrestrially before they practice fishing. Once they are full grown, males seek out dens of their own, often around the same body of water as their parents, while females travel afield to find a mate before settling down.
The creatures that dwell in this rather desolate world still display some diversity in appearance, eating habits, and social behavior. Whether they have fur or feathers, skin or scales, their unique genetic makeup allows for a variety of colors and markings within each species. Despite limitations in food sources, herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores are all present in the food chain, and each species requires specialized care within a laboratory. Although the artificial setting of housing units and breeding pods precludes most opportunities to study true interspecific behavior, the interactions within and between species has been studied extensively in the wilderness by scientists daring enough to venture beyond the outpost’s walls.
Creature Notes
- Lime Green Locks appears to be most interested in the grass-like bedding found in the simulation chamber. Any potential damage caused by clawing, chewing or scratching must be fixed immediately, as LGL can become agitated and destroy other furniture.
- The individual appears to possess a confident, assertive demeanor, despite finding himself continuously in the middle of the colony's hierarchy. Extra monitoring is necessary. Staff is authorized to intervene if he becomes violent.
- Lime Green Locks is highly energetic and requires all the stimulation available in the chamber. Staff with experience handling Avka Felos may engage in playtime sessions, provided they are not longer than 15 minutes at once and recorded accordingly.
- Due to his buyoant nature, the specimen has been observed to spin the range of the simulation chamber in erratic loops. This behaviour has been linked to excess energy by the behaviorists, and seems to be nothing to worry about. See section on play.
