Species Name: Oaktalon
Pronounced: ohk-tuh-lun
Image: N/A
Infant Range: 0-1 years
Teenager Range: 1-3 years
Adult Range: 3+ years
Characteristics: A very small, thin, agile creature. the Oaktalon walks on its hind legs, which are long, really good for running. Its front arms are shorter, with three fingers and a thumb. It has a thin small head, with a mouth but no teeth. It uses its long sticky tongue to help it climb trees. They also have long tails, which are used for climbing, and balance. They range from medium to light green. Usually with small, sparse yellow spots. Males have a large flower on the tip of their tail, while females have small flowers covering their spine, starting from the back of their head going all the way down their tail.
Height: 1-2 ft at shoulders
Weight: 5-10 lbs
Social Behavior: The Oaktalon are a very social species that spend a lot of their time in large groups of the same gender. The males tend to be more territorial and spend a lot of their time in smaller groups of at most 4 males. They are mostly active during the day, while the sun is shining down on them. They tend to sing as a form of communication. The Oaktalon is a very curious species that will get into anything if they are able to. They use singing as a form of communication (meaning anything they say they sing).
Habitat: Most commonly found near flowers or ponds.
Population: Common
Food: Sunlight, meaning photosynthesis only.
Reproduction: Mating season is in the Summer. During mating season males find the herds of females and try to coo as many into breeding as they can. They do this by displaying their tail flower, and if challenged beating a male in a small fight. Some males will even keep the females they breed with in a herd with them even after mating season is over.
Once a mate is picked the female will lay up to 6 small, seed shaped eggs on top of the soil. The male will then go over the seeds and fertilize them. Once fertilized the male ignores the eggs and leaves them to the females. Females usually stay with their eggs until the end of summer, when the eggs sprout into baby Oaktalons.
