Pseudonox are highly reclusive, found only in the furthest depths of the Grass Forest. They hunt best in the thick grass, which obscures their figure enough that even humans frequently mistake them for true hipponox. The creatures live in small family groups of up to six individuals -- any more, and they run the risk of not being able to find enough food. Although they have developed a highly specialized hunting strategy, it only works in the right conditions, as a more experienced hipponox may flee to the safety of their herd at the sight of their main predators or even rally allies to chase off the pseudonoxes. Even in the best of circumstances, a large female hipponox is dangerous prey and most pseudonoxes bear the broken bones and scars of countless bad hunts. As they rely on camouflage to imitate the hipponoxes, the two species of pseudonox will usually only pursue those that they most closely resemble -- buckskin for the lean fulvous pseudonoxes, and grulla for the slightly larger and heavier grizzled pseudonoxes. Between their selective diets and the difficulty in procuring the hipponoxes, they will occasionally supplement their diets with small rodents and reptiles, though these can only tide them over for so long. To make matters worse, it is not unheard of for different groups of pseudonoxes to mistake one another for their prey. While these confrontations usually don't last long, the predators are almost as aggressive toward rival groups as actual hipponoxes. As a result, the population is fairly small and under careful surveillance by Foenaran conservationists.
More than likely there isn't as there's no dimorphism in the hatchlings. I have a pair of each and the female of the first just grew.

Yeah there's no dimorphism in the adults. I did eventually find adults of both and they were the sameWindi1 wrote:BBkat wrote:fulvous adult (f)

Re: September Donis-Fulvous/Grizzled Pseudonox
I really like these, they look similar to creatures I draw (or rather doodle).
(no, I have no scans and I can't draw well on PC. Otherwise I'd gladly post examples.)
