African Black Bellied Pangolin/Long Tailed Pangolin

[pics not mine]

Hiii could I get a pangolin mood board with green and blue scales/shiny things :3

Hello! I love this theme, hope this is good! ^^

💎

Intro!

Hiii, you can call me Pangea ! I'm a pangolin who loves the color orange, being outside, and climbing trees.

I am open to talking to anyone who does not invalidate or hurt others while making themselves happy and being their true selves. That being said, Trans/homophobes, terfs, pro/comship, endogenic systems, zoophiles, highly political people, and any other basic bad things are not allowed.

This blog is mainly for, but not limited to; otherkin, therians, xenogender/neopronoun users, anyone othered by society, and anyone who enjoys animals and nature

this is a side blog, though I will probably be using this more than my main. you can ask me anything, but I have the right to not speak on anything that I don't want to

when Theria, the Bestial Moon, illuminates the night sky, cries go up everywhere, from every animal reminded of its wildness, driven to fevered frenzy. roving packs of wolves and wild dogs follow her wherever she goes, as do her favored children, the golden furred serpents with pelts of tiger's eye whose greatest love is to harry the holdings of humanity. her moonlight, the color of peaches and roses, is accompanied by the overpowering smell of wet fur and sour breath, by great humid fogbanks and by the omnipresent sounds of sniffing that stir the trees and threaten to erupt into hurricanes that carry people away by the dozens or hundreds, to live new lives red in tooth and claw on her surface. sometimes those she abducts are returned to Earth at the edges of clearings stained with her colors, mutated towards the animalistic or warped painlessly along improbable axes. on rare occasion she sets her sights on a single individual, no more than a slivered crescent of her shining in the night to yank the unlucky mortal upwards into her custody through whatever architectural or natural obstacles might lie between him and her, but such singular focus is atypical of the Bestial Moon. her captured moonlet-souls orbit around her, irregular forests of teeth or talons or iron-hard quills that suddenly sprout up from the earth or invert to dizzyingly descend from the sky like stalactites or columns, combs that rake through the world. but the greatest Therian calamity is when she unfolds into the tip of the snout of some infinitely immense monster from outside the universe, with a maw full of tusks and fangs like assembled ranks of ivory soldiers, and she feasts upon worldstuff, drinking lakes, licking salt mines down to bedrock, gnawing off hunks of cities. in this moment she is the anteater, the aardwolf, the pangolin and the bear, gorging herself on the Hundred Thousand Honeys of Humanity. her tidal forces topple walls and watchtowers, stretch shadows into a false sunset, and stir up fallen leaves and debris as living whirlwinds that leap into the darkness with a hunter's singleminded purpose

Dryolestoids of Lemuria

Two of Lemuria’s dryolestloids, the Wemtole and Tikabul respectively, representing the two native families, Euthingodontidae and Lemurioungulatidae.

Dryolestloids were a clade of mammals once widespread across the northern continents in the Jurassic/Early Cretaceous and the southern ones during the Cretaceous and even parts of the Cenozoic (with Peligrotherium and Necrolestes in South American and an unnamed tooth in Antarctica), now found exclusively on Lemuria. They closely resemble therian mammals (placentals and marsupials) but differ in  in some cranial aspects like a well developed premaxilla, double canine roots and the presence of “eupantothere” molars, a sort of intermediate between the triconodont teeth of mammals like volaticotheres and the tribosphenic teeth of therians. Like all mammals aside from most placentals they have internal testicles, a cloaca, epipubic bones and a bifurcated penis.

Though no malagasy dryolestloids have been found, it’s likely they were already present in the continent given their presence in other regions of Gondwanna in the Cretaceous. Just as likely, they might have migrated to Maldivia soon after the KT event. In either case, the lemurian varieties are clearly part of Mesungulatidae, a clade with more bunodont molars and oriented towards omnivory and herbivory.

During Maldivia’s isolation, they were among the local dominant mammals, having diversified in a vast array of forms from bear-like omnivores to otter-like swimmers to robust herbivores. However, the climatic chaos of the late Miocene and Pliocene weaned this radiant diversity to just two families, just as Maldivia made contact with Marama and formed Lemuria.

Luckily, these two groups were quite adaptable, and not only thrived but even managed to weathered anthropogenic influences after the arrival of humans to the island.

Euthingodontidae

Named so after superficial similar to the australian thingodonts, this group is composed of about five species divided in the genera Euthingodon and Kisotosy. They are rather robust mammals with equally robust jaws, using them to gnaw through wood. They are specialised myrmecovores like anteaters and pangolins (as well as the native lemurian echidnas) having long tongues attached to the epipubic bones, much as pangaolins have theirs attached to the pelvis. Its just that, instead of investing in large claws, they rely solely on their jaws, which have some of the strongest bite forces among mammals, capable to those of hyenas.

Thus, they also bite to defend themselves, and predators much be cautious. Even Lemuria’s giant raptors rarely have them as their first choice for a meal. And humans give them a wide berth; if they deal with termite infestations, why bother them?

The genus Euthingodon contains the bulk of this group’s diversity, including the Wemtole (E. striatus), the Ravasa (E. tricolor), the Uaemifosy (E. canis) and the Wespiro (E. orognathus). The Wemtole is mink sized and ranges across most of Lemuria, the Ravasa is similar sized and specialised towards the dense rainforest, the Uaemifosy is dog sized and inhabits the western savannas and desert (it’s name in fact comes from the root *uaeme, “dog”, in the Lemurian language family) and the Wespiro is endemic to the montane forests and meadows. All are generally solitary, at times even violently roaring and biting at competitors. The Wemtole is an year round breeder, while Ravasa and Uaemifosy breed only during the wet season and the Wespiro during the (south hemisphere) summer. All are K strategists, rearing a single cub for an year or more, reaching sexual maturities at four years at the earliest and going through breeding intervals that may last up to four years.

The genus Kisotosy includes a single species, the Kisotosy (K. lutramimus). Like all members of its familt it feeds on ants and termites, but it has specialised to a semi aquatic lifestyle. During the day it rests and plays in the water, coming unto land at night to forage on ants and termites. During the Monsoon floods it migrates from its usual residence in the Great Lakes to the Sammmangal, now feeding at all hours on the submerged ant and termite colonies. It also occasionally tackles aquatic invertebrates like crayfish, but it usually shies from vertebrate prey as like monotremes (and other euthingodontids) it lacks a stomach. It is notably the protagonist of the Lemurian folk epic The Drama of the Moon, and as such particularly revered among the various folk traditions. It’s migration from the Sammangal to the lakes and vice versa has likely inspired the epic.

To these ends, the Moon is often personified as the deity Prince Kisotosy (Bathala Kisotosy).

Lemurioungulatidae

Known venarcularly as Tikabuls, Ausas, Trauchils or deer ponies, the lemurioungulates have specialised for speed, and converged thus not only with ungulates but horses specificially, having a single toe on each limb. Due to the poor fossil reccord of Maldivia we unfortunately have no missing links on display, but genetic studies suggest they diverged from the euthingodontids around 30 million years ago, coinciding with drastic climatic changes that also lead to lemur, elephant bird and other groups’ diversity.

Ranging in side from the rabbit sized Mimiposy (Dryolagus deserti) to the horse size Ausa (Cervequus major), there are about thirty species of these unique non-placental “ungulates”. They are well adapted for speed, and contrary to the simplistic digestive tracks of the euthingodontids they are foregut digesters, ruminating their food like artiodactyls. Most two are K strategists, which makes many of them endangered due to poaching and habitat destruction, but the smaller species are faster breeders, being able to raise a single calf in less than a month before potentially getting impregnated again.

Help for an unpopular  kin-type

Hello my name is Justin and I believe I am a Pangolinkin. This may seem weird but it just feels right to me. I just find it a bit weird that so many people are *insert cool thing here* kin. I mean no disrespect to any otherkin but I’m just wondering if there is anyone out there who shares my kin type? 

I've always wanted to make a post like this so here goes

A VERY GOOD AFTERNOON TO:

Therians who can't do quadrobics, pangolin enthusiasts, people who eat jalapenos even though they are too spicy for them, cane users, fursuiters that poodle, trans lesbians, invertebrate keepers, people who have a visceral fear of Twitter, lefse enjoyers, gays with joint pain and people who are absolutely not ready for another round of school

the rumor come out: does tumblr user pangolen is not a pangolin therian?

Guess I should introduce myself to get my name out there! My name is Matthias. I recently turned 22 and have found out I am an otherkin/therian. I made this sideblog to use to navigate the community and such. I'm very excited to meet people and learn more about myself and the community! Please feel free to shoot me a message. I feel very awkward so far but also very excited. Like I said, I'm new to all this so I'm still sorting things out, but here's a list to show what I am starting with
