Bog Panther

Similar to the Leopard  or other big cat species, the bog panther is another of the big cats. An adept ambush hunter, unlike its cousins, the bog panther is as much at home in the mud and water as the others are in trees.

Basic Information

Anatomy

The bog panther is a four-footed large cat similar to other species of large cats. Their fur pattern is a dusky, chocolate brown. Lines of elongated green, light brown and gray spots radiate down from their ears, along their neck and across their back.
Their jaws are the most developed with a unique locking mechanism. This allows the bog panther to bite through armored shells of a Rock Tortoise .

Ecology and Habitats

Bogs, marshes and swamps

Dietary Needs and Habits

Unlike the other big cats, a bog panther is almost an omnivore. Bog panther's subsist on fish and what prey that roams in and around swamps and bogs. In addition, it has a fondness for sweet Yaca root  and Bloodberry that often grows in bog panther's climate.

Additional Information

Social Structure

The bog panther forms a matriarchal social structure, with one female leading a pack of no larger than six males and at least two younger females.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Bog panthers have exceptional night vision, but normal vision during the day. Their hearing is on par with other panther species, as is their sense of smell.
Unique to the bog panther, they are able to detect vibrations or movements in the air or through the bog or swampy ground with their whiskers.
