Caningares

The Caningares have a head similar to that of a Dog, Wolf or Coyote. They are entirely covered with fur, witch adapts to their environment and protects them from weather, they usually prefer wearing very few clothes. They mostly stand on their two legs even though they run faster on all fours, and have eyes adapted to hunt at night.

Pups 1 to 3 years
Pups are usually born in spring, liters go from 3 to 5 and they are born blind and deaf. After a few weeks they will gain their senses and start growing fur. After around one year they start play-fighting training themselves and trying to prove which is stronger.

Young 4 to 11 years
As they get to 4 years old they start hunting with the rest of the pack or working in a job that interests them ( usually the job of their parents ). They are not considered full members of the pack and use these years to learn and prove to the pack that they will be valuable members to the pack.

Adulthood 12+ years
As they become adults, Caningares are judged to determine if they are worthy to stay in the pack and if not are banned from it. They then start looking for a mate and create their own families within the pack as soon as they can.

Habitat and Population
Caningares have a varied habitat and adapt well to different climates. They prefer to live in packs of 100 to 10 individuals, but some of them join societies or live in towns. Most Caningares are nomads and will move around with their packs.

Diet
Caningares are meat eaters. They will eat pretty much any animal they can hunt, but they will usually hunt bigger pray in groups. They prefer their meat raw, but will eat it even if it is well cooked.

Culture and Society
As mostly nomads, Caningares packs usually travel where the hunting grounds are better. They are usually very attached to members of their packs and are often hostile towards outsiders.

Packs are most often lead by the Alpha male, witch the title is most of the time given from father to son, but can be transferred to any male in the pack with the approval of the majority. Females are almost never considered to be Alpha.

As soon as they become adults Caningares, they start looking for a mate, and once they find it they usually stick together until death. As soon as one of the mates dies the other finds a new mate as soon as possible. Caningares hate being outside of a relationship. If a male cannot find a mate within their pack, they will usually leave to join another pack. They usually mate at the end of summer or start of autumn, and the female will gestate for around 7 months before giving birth.
