Cart'hen III does not have many types of animals. The few they have are mostly vegetarians | Cart'hen III does not have many types of animals. The few they have are mostly vegetarians. The most common of these are the Itik, Gonan and Prat. The last 2 have been domesticated by the natives and are raised in herds, however they can also be found running wild. | ||
The Itik is a small animal on average between 2 to 5 lbs. It is a mammal that can leap up to 10 feet. They have larger hind legs than front legs. They tend to be a pest eating anything they can get. They burrow into the sand to avoid the heat of the day as they are nocturnal. | |||
The Gonan is on average between 20 and 40 lbs. A vegetarian they graze on the grasses and shrubs found just about everywhere outside the rock outcroppings and the shifting sands. They can eat more type's of plants than any other native life form. | |||
The Prat is on average between 50 and 80 lbs. Their feet are large and wide with thick pads on the bottoms that allow them to traverse the drifting sands and the rock outcroppings with out sinking or suffering damage from any sharp rock edges. They also have a special water storage organ as well as a second stomack to store excess food. As a result they can go for almost 2 weeks with out needing to eat or drink anything. They have a second tranparent eyelid and a nasty disposition. | |||
The only predator is called a Trith. This animal has short tan fur, large fangs and sharp claws. It can easily take down a person and is an extremely cunning beast. It weighs between 180 and 200 lbs fully grown. It tends to sleep for long periods and avoids the sands as much as possible, prefering to remain among the larger rock outcroppings. Here it can find shade. They tend to live alone, only getting together to mate. A female will on average have 2 cubs. These will stay with her until they are over 100 lbs at which time they are considered adults. During the Klingon occupation it was one of their favourite sports to hunt them. It is a testimont to their savagery and skill that they won the hunt more often than the hunters. | |||
