Yumar
From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.
Yumars are a species of hybrid, cheetah-like, sentient anthropomorphs, created by the art team of furry writer Ryan Dewalt and furry artist Candy L. Dewalt.
Artisan P. Sunspot (Arty), a major character from the online comic Vinci & Arty and host of the weekly Internet Radio program Ask Arty is a yumar.
[edit] Yumar biology
Yumars are a genetic heterosis between three distinct species:
- Cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus). A member of the Felidae family within the Mammalia class.
- Otters (Lutra canadensis). A member of the Mustelidae family, also within the Mammalia class.
- Koi (鯉, Cyprinus carpio). A member of the Cyprinidae family within the Actinopterygii class (ray-finned fish.)
The genetic cross result is an aquatic-based, biped feline being, characterized by (generally) yellowish fur with black spots, webbed paws and feet, and a furred feline-line tail that ends on a koi patterned, fur-less fin.
[edit] Genetic problems
Due to Mutagenesis, yumars are prone to biological deformities, which over time, have evolved on some diverse characteristics that can be as minor as the badger fur patterned yumar, to a completely different subspecies, like the harmony yumar. Harmonies are named so for their forked tails that split into two about a fourth out from the body.
[edit] Fubars
Fubars are a rare hybrid offshoot that are the result of crossbreeding between yumars and foxes (Vulpes vulpes).
