Species Standards
Prefered Habitat: Forests and the nearby Fields... They prefer deciduous forests (the kinds with broad
leaves that fall off in the winter), but can easily adapt to coniferous forests (the kind with pine-trees).
Diet: Slynk are opprotunistic eaters.. They'll eat bugs, small lizards, small birds and rodents, berries, fruits,
vegetables, and leftover hamburgers in greasy wrappers... It's.. not too hard to feed a slynk.. in fact, they
usually just settle for dog-food when it's available.
Call: Slynks can hiss, bark, "crab", and chitter.. they make a lot of noises in fact.. most of them are fairly
unpleasant however.. I've never heard a slynk purr, that's for sure.
Special Care Needs: Be careful! Not only do Slynks cause a lot of trouble.. But they'll eat your canary,
slaughter your gerbils, and steal your socks to hide them in their secret hoard beneth your dresser... In fact,
not only will they steal your socks.. but.. they LOVE shiny things.. they're Kleptos really...
Biology and Anatomy: Their tails are prehensile, so it makes it quite easy for the little critter to grab things,
and even hang upside down from a branch if it so desired. It's certainly easier than trying to carry things in
it's paws.
Behavioral Study: They treasure shiny objects - and playfight all the time... In fact, that's what they're good at
best.. skulking in the darkness, stealing anything that shines there.. taking it back to their burrow.. fighting
off all intruders.. killing and eating creatures two times their size... Playfully squabbling with their siblings,
and then digging through the trash at the end of the day for a good 'ol meal of... ew.. what IS that, anyway?
Suggested Uses: They make wonderful "pets"... though they can be destructive the the household.. they're
also good at ridding your house of common pests (such as bugs or rats). Also, who wouldn't want a rather
clever little thief as a companion?
Brown: There doesn't seem to be much of a difference between Slynks, other than color alone... Brown
Slynks are usually sought after for their more tawny colors - and are unfortunately often placed on the fur
market.
Grey: Again - there's not much difference other than color.. luckily, the grey slynk doesn't have much appeal
in it's fur's color - so they're usually safe from the fur-trade.. however, they make just as good of thieves and
companions as the brown do!
Black: The black is highly sought after by pet collectors for it's pelt.. Who wouldn't want a cool dark and
spooky pet to be their stealthy thief of the night? And ... because of this - they've all been adopted out.

Venemous It's fur color shows signs of it's danger... The Venemous Slynk is.. Indeed, venemous.. it's tiny fangs sport a nasty venom, that leaves one nautious, in pain - and temporarily paralized... Luckily, the venom won't kill an adult.. but smaller animals (such as dogs, or small children)... well.. *cough*

Albino Albino is just that.. isn't it's fur color striking? Not so good for being stealthy though.. hm
