Newtycoon the Newt
Author: Jordan
Newtycoon the Newt or Tekkus juvenalis Newtensis
A strange little creature with a fixation on amphibians & a strange fear of magpies.It's notable for hanging around in ponds,but not distributing swords.After all,that's no basis for a system of government;supreme exec....sorry,I had a python,not a newt in mind for a minute.
One of the strangest things about this subspecies is that it not only replies to the calls of it's own species but to those of every other tek species.In great,& often interminable lenghth,peppering it's calls with german.Do not confuse it with the closely related species Angelfroggus & Seminariensis,which although they seem to be similar can be distuinguished by their relative silence compared to the newt variant.
Newtycoon the Newt was made by JordanMK, as an exclusive anniversary download for Tek Forums. (Thank you to Professor Paul for the interesting description of Newtycoon the Newt recopied above.)

Pale Fox
Author: Ghirin
The pale fox (Vulpes pallida) is native to the southern portion of the Sahara desert and the semi-arid regions south of that desert, including thorny savannah and steppes. They are primarily a nocturnal species and tend to be social animals, building large communal burrows with tunnels that may be up to 15 meters long.
Pale foxes will eat a wide variety of foods, including insects, reptiles, eggs, small mammals, and fruits.

Dwarf Desert Nile Crocodile by Ghirin
By Guest
Dwarf Desert Nile Crocodile
Author: Ghirin
The desert-adapted crocodiles are thought to be descended from the Nile crocodiles that lived in the region during lusher times. A number of isolated populations have either been found or described in the dry areas of the southern region of the Sahara Desert. These crocodiles are smaller than Nile crocodiles found in wetter areas, possibly due to lack of food.
These crocodiles inhabit two types of wetlands. One is a seasonal wetland formed by rainwater; the second is called a guelta and is formed when water collects in pools in a depression in a rocky plateau. When the water level drops too low for the crocodiles to survive, the animals go into caves or burrows and estivate (a type of warm-season hibernation).

Barbary Leopard by Ghirin
By Guest
Barbary Leopard by Ghirin
The Barbary Leopard resembles the familiar leopard of East Africa, but in keeping with its home in the snowy Atlas Mountains of North Africa, it is stockier, with a thicker coat. A bold and versatile cat, it may go for a month without drinking. It consumes nearly any form of protein, from beetles to antelope nearly twice its weight. The Barbary Leopard is also a predator of the Barbary Macaque. This leopard prefers a montane habitat of mixed coniferous and deciduous terrain. The Barbary Leopard is an endangered subspecies. Only 12 may remain in the Atlas Mountains.

Black Alpaca by Ghirin
By Guest
Black Alpaca by Ghirin
The alpaca (Lama pacos), a relative of the llama, is a domesticated camelid from the Andes Mountains of South America.
Unlike the llama, the alpaca has been bred for its wool and is much smaller than the llama. The wool of the alpaca is among the finest in the world, bested only by that of the vicuna and certain breeds of goat.
Alpacas come in two wool varieties, suri and huacaya. The wool of the suri alpaca is finer and straighter than that of the huacaya. It falls in locks along the sides of the suri alpaca. The huacaya alpaca is more common than the suri; its wool is crimpy and gives the huacaya a "teddy bear" appearance. The wool of either variety comes in several colors, from white to black.
The peoples of the Andes domesticated the ancestors of the alpaca approximately 5000 years ago and these animals were used as a source of wealth.

Syrian Bear
Author: Ghirin
Syrian bears are small-sized brown bears native to the Levant and southwestern Asia. Very few exist in the wild and the species maybe extinct there; however, Syrian bears are found in zoos around the world.
Many authorities do not consider the Syrian bear a true subspecies, but it is sometimes referred to as Ursus arctos syriacus.
The Syrian bear is thought to be the bear mentioned in the Bible.

Spectre Tiger by Sundance

Spectre Tiger
Spectre tigers make their home in the borderline between tropical jungles and
lagoons. The male Spectre tiger can grow up to ten feet in length, from its
head to the end of its tail, with a shoulder width of up to three feet.
Although very large (weighing up to 575 pounds), the Spectre tiger is not the
largest tiger; its cousin, the Siberian tiger, is the world's largest cat.
When a Spectre tiger roars, you can hear it almost two miles away.

Nemean Lion by Ghirin
By Guest
Nemean Lion
Author: Ghirin
The Nemean lion was a fierce creature that terrorized the people of Argolis in ancient Greece. It was the son of the monsters Typhon and Echidna and brother to the Theban Sphinx.
As his first Labor, Hercules had to kill the Nemean lion and bring the skin back to his cousin, the King of Mycenae. Hercules travelled to the Nemean plain in search of the great beast. At first, he tried to kill the lion with bronze-tipped arrows, but the arrows bounced off of the lion's tough hide. Realizing that regular weapons could not harm the lion, Hercules used his arms to strangle the lion to death. After killing the lion, the hero used the lion's own claws to skin the carcass. He returned to Mycenae with the skin, which became his trademark armor.

Barbary Lion by Ghirin
By Guest
Barbary Lion by Ghirin
The Barbary lion (also known as the Atlas Lion) was among the largest of all lions. Its scientific name, Panthera leo leo, means that this lion was used as the original type that all other lions were judged by. One of its best known features, the huge shaggy mane of the male, was dark and could extend halfway down the back and formed a characteristic fringe of belly fur. The lion was also described as having a “dusky ochery” color.
Barbary lions once roamed all of the coniferous forests of North Africa. They were heavily hunted by the ancient Romans for the arena. Continued hunting, combined with habitat loss led to the extinction of the Barbary lion in the wild in 1922.
Some believe that Barbary lion genes might still exist in captive lion populations and the Barbary lion might be reconstructed through selective breeding.

Spanish Mustang by Sundance

Spanish Mustang by Sundance
A beautiful Spanish Mustang
The true Spanish Mustang is a direct descendant of the horses brought to the New World by the early Spaniards. Confused by many with the feral horses currently managed by the Bureau of Land Management (B.L.M.), there is a vast difference in both appearance and ancestry. Columbus, on order from the Spanish throne, commenced bringing the first Spanish horses to the New World on his second voyage. Thereafter, each ship headed for the New World, by order of the Crown, carried breeding animals of choice Spanish stock. Breeding farms were set up in the Caribbean and subsequently in Mexico. Breeding farms such as the one operated in Sonora, Mexico by Padre Eusebio Kino, a Jesuit priest, produced stock, including horses, which were placed with each group of Christianized Indians as Kino expanded his efforts further and further north. The Apaches, never falling under the spell of the Church, ravaged and pillaged these little "visitas" taking stock at will. They also plundered deep into Mexico allegedly as far as Mexico City. Their goal - well-bred and trained Spanish horses from the Mexican estancias. Through trade of these valuable horses northward to other tribes the Apaches became one of the primary methods of spreading the Spanish horses over the west. Over the years horses escaped, were lost or stolen and many became feral, roaming all over the west. Eventually they numbered in the hundreds of thousands, closely related to the horses maintained by some of the Indian tribes; indeed, they were basically the same horses

Argali by Ghirin
The argali (Ovis ammon) is the largest species of wild sheep in the world.
Distinct populations of argali are found throughout the highland regions of central Asia, including nations such as Mongolia, China, and Kazakhstan.
Like other wild sheep, argalis live in herds segregated by gender. Females will separate from the herd prior to birth and returns a few days afterward with her lamb.
Argalis vary in color based on location, but the basic color is grayish brown.

Glacier bears are various shades of blue-gray and are found in southeastern Alaska, northwestern British Columbia and the southwestern Yukon Territory. The undercoat of glacier bears is blue-black and the outer guard hairs are white with silver tips. The blue-gray color serves as camouflage against a backdrop of frozen ice.
