Viscets
Viscets are large, agile creatures characterized by furred, raptor-like bodies, wolf-like paws with opposable thumbs and sharp claws, ferret-like muzzles and sharp fangs, long ears, and double-ringed eyes. Males and females are almost identical both physically and socially except for the female's ability to carry and balance with heavy objects in order to carry their eggs. They are found on every continent except for the poles, but tend to inhabit temperate forest zones and prefer to avoid deserts. They are omnivorous and can eat anything from fruits, nuts, and berries to large animals such as deer which are typically hunted down with their pack. Packs are ruled by the alpha pair and viscets in the pack will mark their territory by leaving marks on trees as high as they can. However, viscets have also been domesticated and can be found in petting zoos and homes due to their intelligence and trainability. Most viscets mate for life, although there have cases where viscets go through several partners. Mating season occurs in the late winter, with an egg being laid after two months and hatching two weeks later. The mother stays with the egg and later viscling while the father fetches food and guards his family. The summer is spent raising the viscling who will be considered independent at one year of age although does not reach sexual maturity and decide if they want to stay with or leave their pack until they are two years old. Same-sex couples will typically switch off roles or take a single role consistently depending on their personalities.
