Description
Old creature redesigned again.

Anyway
The Zynqec. A large serpentine creature cowered in thick stiff fur and with 4 "bone" arms.
Its a glutton, and will eat untill it cant fit more.
Its jaws are like a snake, so it can swallow fairly large creatures.
The arms are used to hold a squirming prey or a mate still, and to help lift the body over an obstacle.

They hunt by "tasteing" the air. Once food is been located it slithers as close as it can, then waits. The prey is killed by a firm bite to the throat.

It have no eyelids so it often lick its eyes and once resting the pupils close fully. It owns no nostrills either, however it have an cleft on the front of its jaw that allows it to breath even with the mouth closed.

It keeps its head high often and when looking for food, but it goes fully down once the hunt begins or just moving about.
Once on its belly and pays no interest in whats happening around, its normaly safe to approach as its full and doesnt look at humans as a threat.

Males wander but returns to the nesting grounds when mateing season gets close. There they confront eachother for the right to breed. Often its only the largest male that gets to breed. A nesting ground contains allot of close thicket and dens for the females to nest in. It often holds alot of small animals too, that are prefect for young animals to hunt.

The thick fur makes em vournable to heatstrokes so they stay well above the Equator, but not to far that all they get is snow and cold.
They manage well during winters though, and the snow makes for a nice "coat cleaner". They roll around in the snow to clean their fur, during the summer they take baths in freshwater rivers and waters. It also makes for a great way fo cooling down.

If raised by humans they normaly pose no threat and are docile and cuddly as long their food is druged with meds that tricks its system to think its full.
This med does not come cheap however, and a hungry Zynqec is a very hungry Zynqec.

One should always avoid em during the breeding season as they dont seem to care much for what or who they get amorous with.
