The Patagonian mara is a large rodent, resembling a large jackrabbit and most closely related to capybaras and guinea pigs. They're monogamous until one partner dies, but generally breeding happens in large communal dens where care of young is occasionally shared.

Best chreachure?
Okay, in real life?
Right now I'm a BIG fan of the patagonian mara! They're a little oddly shaped, kinda like if deer and rabbits had offspring (and walk like it too!), but they're 100% part of the rodent family!
They're native to central and southern Argentina, but if their living situation turns to shit, they will go anywhere so long as it provides shelter, water, and fruits! (Have I mentioned they're herbivores?)
They typically travel in herds, however the most common structure usually involves two mates.
As for FICTIONAL creatures, my favourite mainstream one is Psyduck!
LOOKIT THIS LITTLE GOOBER!!
These little guys showed up in Pokémon all the way back in Gen1! It usually evolves at level 33 into Golduck, however would you truly ever?
They're typically a very introverted species, going of solo instead of in pairs or groups, however can become deeply loyal and devoted to others.
Their psychic powers are DEEPLY heighted when their migraines flare up, and utilizing those powers is sort of their ibuprofen.
And my favourite fictional creature I've worked on is the Mage Hunter! (Yes I know it's from DnD 5e but I've done a lot of work on it to fit my homebrew setting of Coinia)
Mage Hunters are native to the coastal region of Steam, and are largely domesticated by the Empire of Norsys. They're very similar to otters in a number of ways, such as their affinty for swimming, however they are typically around the size of a mule.
They prefer colder climates, however not like, arctic cold? They have very thick hides and plenty of facial fur, but throwing them in an ice bath would illict the same reaction as it would to just about anyone else.
They're omnivores, and very much hunters. In their non domesticated state, they will follow creatures who utilize magic (which they can feel through the large crackling apendages on their body), or invertabrates that cross their path such as crabs, clams, snails, etc.
They travel in packs of 4-9, however larger packs can end in the pack becoming entirely dissolved.

Round 1.4
Information about contestants below!
Patagonian mara (Dolichotis patagonum)
Patagonian mara resembles a jackrabbit. It has distinctive long ears and long limbs. The feet are compressed, making them hoof-like. It’s a relatively large rodent with head and body length of 69–75 cm. Primarily diurnal. They prefer to live in habitats with shrub cover. Maras feed primarily on green vegetation and fruit. When running, they have been compared to deer and antelope.
Their social organizations have a unique combination of monogamy and communal breeding. Dens are dug during the breeding season for the young to be raised. Communal living provides protection from predators with the survival rate for young being higher in larger groups than in smaller groups.
Patagonian maras are found only in Argentina and are considered to be a near threatened species.
South African springhare (Pedetes capensis)
It’s a medium-sized terrestrial and burrowing rodent. It resembles a small kangaroo with well-developed hind legs, short front legs, and a long tail which comprises half of its body length. As well as a long tail, springhares have relatively large eyes and ears. Similar to kangaroos, they also use their tails for balance. Springhares are reported to be able to make hops of 20 cm and leaps of 2 m.
The colour of springhare varies from a reddish-brown on its upperparts to an off-white belly and a black tip on the tail. Their fur is biofluorescent.
Springhares are nocturnal animals, who forage during the night and retreat to a burrow during the day. Herbivorous, however, they are picky eaters and often leave abundant plant materials behind in their feeding grounds.

"Curiosity" (2019)
And the last of that Charity event! Done for MoonSongWolf, featuring a Patagonian Mara, plus several examples of real plant species () as well as a real butterfly, because of course.
I really love the colors in this one.
I hope you enjoyed this batch! I really need to shake off laziness and see whatneeds uploading here, haha.
