Description

Can you still tell this is Marlee? If you can't that's fine, to explain recently I noticed that about two years ago? I started designing a species called originally Phantoms ferula and I made my fursona that, I started changing her colors but the anatomy was the same and then I changed the name to phantom vulpes which means lemur fox, but it really wasn't original.

So I decided to completely re-vamp the anatomy of this species, right now I based the body on a kinkajou :) Which are adorable! So the legs are short and thick and the species has a prehensile tail, also they grow hair on the back of the head and neck sort of like a horse and more hair on the back of the legs, and the have de-claws on all four paws to help them climb.

The glow on the tail is because they have bacteria that are luminescent, the bacteria can be poisonous if another animal eats it, they use it as a defense mechanism and for mating rituals, the same bacteria also grows in the eyes so they can't see very well. And the things sprouting from the back are huge feathers (?) they have three on the back, three smaller ones on the base of the tail and the tail tip can change to a kite form because the bone splits at the end, they can't fly but the can glide between tree tops, so they rarely go down to the forest floor.

Yeah, I've been thinking a lot about them to make them more original :) But now I don't have a name for the species, since it's really not a fox or a lemur :shrug: Any suggestions?

Beside all that text please critic :D
