#Newton the Hyena

[captainwolfdlc]

Battle ready Newton

A sonic oc I made with my friend @cloud-fish

[cloud-fish]

Ghost and Newton Ref Sheets!!

With some slight redesigns.

Ghost up first. I edited her outfit, added some color to her fur and gave her some paw pads.

Next up is Newton, who belongs to @captainwolfdlc . I added some lighter fur as well as some fluff, gave him paw pads and claws, and removed the undershirt from his current clothes.

Newton's middle design, and Ghost's bottom left design are the clothes they wore before escaping Starline.

I'll make a post later with some more lore, as well as some comics (which might do most of the explaining)

[vixxelle]

Absolutely swagless dudes

Anyways, here's a doodle of Nex and @lockandkeyhyena ‘s oc, Fly! Love this little dickhead.

He and Nex would fuckin hate each other though (actually, more like ‘Holy shit you are so fucking annoying but you're kinda cool so nevermind’) but they're just existing rn.

Newton the Gnu vs. Harry the Hyena

Say Hi to the Spotted Hyena

The spotted hyena is also known, perhaps most famously, as the laughing hyena (Crocuta crocuta). This species once ranged throughout Eurasia, but following the end of the Ice Age was restricted to sub-Saharan Africa. Today they can be found in many types of dry, open habitat, including savannah, semi-desert, and mountain forests. At times, the spotted hyena may also enter urban areas in search of food.

Unlike other hyenas, Crocuta crotuta is a predator, not a scavenger. They most commonly prey on wildebeast, but they may also hunt zebra, gazelles, Cape buffalo, and warthog. In addition, desperate times may cause packs to hunt on more dangerous prey such as young hippopotamus, giraffe, and rhinoceros. Spotted hyenas have incredible endurance, reaching speeds of 60 km/hr (37 mph); a single chase can last over 24 km (14 miles). When live prey is scarce, the laughing hyena can also turn to carrion, as well as snakes and ostrich eggs. In turn, this species may be killed by lions, though this may be motivated more by competition than prey drive.

Spotted hyena females are typically larger than males, weighing 44.5–67.6 kg (98–149 lb) to the males' 40.5–69.2 kg (89.3–153 lb). The height range for both sexes lies between 70–91.5 cm (27.6–36.0 in). In addition, female laughing hyena are somewhat famous for their masculinated genetalia; the clitoris is enlarged, resembling a penis, and is accompanied by sacs filled with fibrous tissue that resemble a scrotum. As the name implies, the coat is light brown with darker spots over most of the body. Because the species has such a wide diet, it has was is considered to be the strongest in relation to size of any mammal. The bite force is stronger than that of a brown bear, and can exert a force of 4,500 newtons-- enough to crush bone.

The laughing hyena is a highly social animal, and individuals live in communities up to 80 strong; size largely depends on prey availability and whether or not the group migrates. A clan territory can be anywhere from 40 km (24 mi) to 1000 (621mi) squared. Females dominate the males, and a pack is usually led by a matriarch. Hierarchies are strictly enforced, and positions are primarily inherited through birth and transferred through death. In addition, one's rank is maintained and recognized through social alliances and their contributions to the clan rather than size or dominance displays. The entirety of the clan comes together most often when defending a territory, gathering at the communal den, or at a kill; however, these kills are more commonly produced from smaller offshoots of the clan.

Crocuta crotuta can breed year-round, though mating is at its peak during the wet season from April to June. Members of both sexes pair indiscriminately with multiple mates, both within their clan and without. To offer himself, the male performs a mating ritual in which he lowers himself to the ground before the female, and retreats if any aggression is shown. Once impregnated, the female carries for about 110 days before giving birth to two cubs-- three is fairly rare. Weaning takes another 14 to 18 months, during which time cubs learn to hunt and defend the clan, as well as establish their place in the social hierarchy. Sootted hyenas reach maturity at about 3 years old, and can live an average of 12 years in the wild, though individuals as old as 25 have been recorded.

Conservation status: The spotted hyena has been determined Least Concern by the IUCN. However, outside protected areas the population is declining due to deforestation and hunting as a nuisance species.

Mortal Kombat 1 Trailer Animalities

OKAY

SO

Mortal Kombat isn't my current hyperfixation (at least not the main one), but that new trailer has me super hype for September. I know my usual content is fan art, but when I saw the animalities, I started thinking. We saw Mileena's is a Praying Mantis, but what about the other animals we saw in the trailers? Whose are those?

TW: Some of the images past the Quan Chi section have blood. I tried my best to avoid gore as much as I could, but I couldn't do so with the Wolf or Pufferfish animalities. I apologize. :(

Also, before you read the rest, please note that I'm not at all an expert on the franchise. It's one of my special interests, but I don't know everything. Additionally, this is more of a ramble post, but I did do my research. I'm merely speculating here. If your thoughts are different, please feel free to let me know what you think! I wanna hear what other people have to say too! :D

Since I'm doing these in the order as we see them in the trailer, let's start off with the hyena. My first thought was Havik, and that was before I even decided to look at it closer. Mainly because hyenas are known to be skilled opportunistic scavengers (they aren't just scavengers though), and I thought it fit with Havik because, while I don't know that much about the character, I feel like his characterization kind of fits with the hyena. Hyenas can symbolize cleverness, but they also symbolize greed, stupidity and viciousness. That was my first thought. Then I watched the trailer again to look at the hyena a second time and that's when it became obvious.

Notice it?

Similar, if not exactly the same, facial disfigurement. I'm fairly certain the hyena is Havik's animality. Moving on to the next one, we have the hippo.

I think this is Geras. My first thought was because of the glowing blue eyes, which makes sense as Geras is the only character on the MK1 roster with glowing blue eyes specifically and I'm pretty sure real life hippos don't have glowing eyes (/lh /s). Not only that, but even the saliva resembling sand (or maybe it is just straight up sand; it was hard for me to tell) and the odd looking veins (I think??) on the side of the head with a pattern resembling the face plate looking things on Geras's body and the color resembling his tattoos.

Hippos are symbols of great skills in problem-solving, confidence, self-reliance, and strength. Also, in ancient Egypt, the hippo was a symbol of power and fertility. Not only that, but the hippopotamus is said to have the strongest bite of all land animals at about 8,130 Newtons per square inch. They are herbivores, but if disturbed by humans, they can be very dangerous and cause fatal injuries (according to ifaw.org). Next is one that's honestly given quite a bit of trouble.

A gorilla. I'm having trouble figuring out who this might be. My first thought was Shao Kahn given that the fatality is done brutally with just the gorilla's hands. Gorillas are stronger than 10 or more adult humans combined. They're also known for being incredibly destructive and ferocious in fights. Their behavior and strength lead me to believe this is Shao Kahn's animality, but I'm not entirely sure because this could also apply to Reiko? Kind of??

While there was an animality involving a large primate in MK3, that one belonged to Reptile. It's possible that the gorilla animality could belong to Reptile again, but I highly doubt it. It doesn't fit Syzoth's character. Plus, if all the past animalities were the same in the new game, that would mean Scorpion's is a penguin again and, while that could be cool as a reference and for comedy, I don't think the devs would do that.

Then we have a fossilized T-Rex. Now, there has been a T-Rex animality before in MK3, but that one belonged to Stryker (if you ask me, it should've been a pig /lh /hj).

However, given it's a T-Rex's skeleton being manipulated here, I believe it's Quan Chi's because. Well. Necromancy.

Next image contains blood. I couldn't avoid it. :(

This one's Kenshi's. I don't have a doubt about it.

While Kenshi didn't debut until Deadly Alliance and didn't have an animality but Nightwolf did, whose was a wolf, the addition of the transparent wolf resembling the appearance of Kenshi's ancestors gives it away.

...

Do I even need to say anything here?

No, but I will anyway.

This is obviously Scorpion's animality. In MK3, this one actually belonged to Sheeva and Scorpion's was a penguin, but given they made Reptile's a chimpanzee in that game, I suppose that isn't too surprising. As for why Scorpion's was a penguin, I'm not sure.

It was most likely for comedic effect because you wouldn't expect Scorpion's animality to be a small creature associated with freezing temperatures. Thankfully, this was changed in the next game because Scorpion's animality is a scorpion in MK4.

Plus, the way the animality ends is similar, with the giant scorpion stabbing the opponent with its stinger.

Next image has blood too. Sorry. :(

The last one we see aside from Mileena's, which we know because we see her transform into a Praying Mantis in the trailer, is a pufferfish. Specifically a purple one. This is Rain's. Not only because it's an aquatic creature, but the color matches Rain's attire.

In MK3, Rain's animality was an elephant, which was most likely also for comedic effect, but it could've also possibly been because, with enough pressure and concentration, water could be strong enough to cut through skin. Pressure washers have this capability since their force is usually around 1600psi, yet it only takes about 100psi to puncture human skin. Of course, cutting skin off is different from simply blowing it off of someone's body, but while the water could easily cut through fat, muscle, and tissue, I'm pretty sure most pressure washers aren't able to cut through bone. That doesn't mean water couldn't do that, but the fact that the elephant blows the opponent's skin off rather than simply piercing right through their body is kind of similar to how much damage pressure washers could do. I don't know, I'm probably looking too much into it because MK3 had some goofy animalities and Rain himself as a character is inspired by the song "Purple Rain" by Prince, so maybe I'm just taking it too seriously.

Anyway, back to the pufferfish situation. The pufferfish is often seen as a symbol of adaptability and resilience. However, it also has negative connotations, as people who are associated with these animals tend to overestimate their abilities or talents. They may have a knack for making their voice heard and getting their message across, even if they have to project a prickly persona (meaning they lose their temper and/or get frustrated easily) in order to do it (according to whatismyspiritanimal.com). I think the negative qualities suit Rain. He's known to be obsessively ambitious and, from my observations, rather prideful, even in MK1.

And that wraps up my analysis! I spent over 2 hours on this post, but I love doing research of my special interests, and getting to do that for some cool animals and the Mortal Kombat series was super fun! Again, feel free to correct me and/or share your thoughts! I hope you enjoyed reading this and I hope you consider reblogging if you did. ^^ /nf

What would happen if a hippo bite you....

A hippos jaw has a 1800 PSI bite force. Hippos are capable of producing around 1,800 psi ( 8,100 Newtons) with their bite. In theory, they have a strong enough bite to snap a crocodile in half if needed. In comparison to other land animals, hippos have the strongest bite of them all.

Their bite is almost three times stronger than that of a lion. One bite from a hippo can possibly cut a human body in half. They're found naturally in various parts sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in East and Southern Africa, living in or near rivers and other water sources

There’s a good reason a fully grown hippopotamus can fit a large portion of a fully grown adult in its mouth. Hippos can grow up to 16.5 feet long (5 meters), 5.2 feet tall (1.6 meters) and weigh up to 4.5 tons (4 metric tonnes), according to National Geographic

They sport enormous mouths and can open their strong jaws to 150 degrees.

Their teeth might be the most frightening thing of all. Their molars are used for eating plants, but their sharp canines, which might reach 20 inches (51 centimeters), are for defense and fighting. Their bite is almost three times stronger than that of a lion. One bite from a hippo can possibly cut a human body in half.

They’re found naturally in various parts sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in East and Southern Africa, living in or near rivers and other water sources. (And they are an invasive species in Colombia thanks to escapees from drug lord Pablo Escobar’s menagerie).

Hippos are very territorial and might aggressively attack any animal encroaching on their territory, including hyenas, lions and crocodiles

Hippos and humans

They also kill people. That we know for sure. Many internet sources say around 500 a year, but an exact figure is still uncertain because some attacks and deaths come in very remote regions and don’t get reported.

How painful is a hippo bite? Are Hippos Dangerous? The size, temper and biteforce to kill … Hippos also have an incredible bite force of around 1800 pounds per square inch (PSI). This is almost three times that of a lion (650 PSI) and about 15 times the average human bite force of 126 PSI. In short, hippos bite really really hard.

What bites harder a hippo or crocodile?

Hippos have a very powerful bite at 1,800PSI. Their teeth are long and sharp, measuring up to 1.5ft. Crocodiles have the most powerful bite measured of any terrestrial creature, smashing down on enemies at 3,700PSI with 4-inch teeth. Crocodiles win in terms of bite power, but their teeth just don't measure up.Mar 7, 2023

Doubting Thomas luxuriates under Dylanesque milkweed

made fibrous threads...constituting heavy blanket (crocheted by the missus) on a cool Autumn like morning... to stave off experiencing getting chilblains, goosebumps, or subjected to the blast of cold air wafting thru the opened bedroom window on a frosty early August morning about a month before official start of Autumn. Quite refreshing the brisk temperatures courtesy a cold front that allows, enables, and provides a harbinger and foretaste when those hazy, hot, and humid, languid and torpid days of summer quickly forgotten as the lazy fox jumped over the brown dog the latter slumbering after weathering triple digit temperatures record breaking heat waves for the history books. Though generally prone to being tired subsequently driven to be a caffeine junkie unable to swing from trees like me monkey forebears, I get energized after an early afternoon siesta in tandem with the missus unwittingly actualizing, employing, implementing, and underwriting Sir Isaac Newton's first law of motion also known as the law of inertia, states that an object at rest will remain at rest, or if in motion, will remain in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. The above immovable status of one body, albeit human an ideal synopsis of yours truly all throughout his doggone life, especially when a student (at the School of Hard Knocks) remaining deaf, dumb and mute to the webbed wide world: if asked a question responding with my quintessential shoulder shrug, which characteristic inherited courtesy our youngest and second born daughter. Cold winter days seem closer on the horizon, when yours truly sequesters, and cloisters himself with bad company - not by personal choice - i.e. those pesky fruit flies riddling man cave within four walls of apartment unit b44 for seven long years of penal solitude (denuded of cell bate) unlike conventional Norwegian bachelor farmers living social during their Neptune salad days and a side apertif of powder milk biscuits.

T-rex

We all know the mighty T-rex known for its movie fame and cool looks. It's one of the biggest and certainly one of the baddest theropods to ever roam the earth. Like most children, I always had a fascination with dinosaurs and not just any but specifically large carnivores like the T-rex. Their large size bulky heads and overall large bulk always itched a spot in my brain, they appealed to me in a way that as a child i thought they were the coolest looking thighs to ever exist i became invested in learning the most i possibly could about dinosaurs,and i'm not ashamed to admit i still know alot about them to this day. I blame part of my hyperfixation on my ADHD as things I'm interested in my brain holds onto no matter how useless it might be for me. 

The T-rex is known for being one of the Largest theropod dinosaurs to exist it weight between 11,000 to 15,000 pounds(8 tonnes) and could grow as big as 40 feet long and 12 feet tall at the hips they also possessed the most powerful jaws of any land carnivore ever with a bite force of 6-7 tonnes(35,000 newtons) a recent study shows that trex had a rigid skull like hyenas and modern crocodiles instead of a flexible skull like birds and reptiles this allowed them to have the skull rigidity and bite force to crush a ford f-150

In conclusion the T-rex is one of the most well known and the most powerful dinosaurs to roam the earth and I think without T-rex dinosaurs would not have gotten the media tration they did. Dinosaurs like T-rex from when I was a kid played a huge part in my love, fame and interest that they do in the movies and in the media today. I always loved dinosaurs from when I was young even to know so the T-rex always has a place in my heart.

author’s note - no thoughts, head empty, robin buckley.

October 31st 1985

The music pounds through your ears as you open the door covered in cobwebs and cheap looking skeleton ornaments. Your eyes shift through the house, searching for Steve, your best friend and partner in crime, but he’s nowhere to be seen.

You clutch your sides and cross your arms, waiting for the host to come to the door. However, it’s not Jason who comes to greet you.

The tall, short haired girl with brown hair, dressed in blue jeans, a purple and yellow top and a leather jacket with a soft fabric hat on her head dances slowly towards you, stumbling over her feet. Her pale skin glowing in the orange, pumpkin shaped lights.

She trips over her converse shoes and almost crashes into you, her arms stop her from falling on top of you. She has an arm either side of you, her face inches away from your own. And you’re trying not to notice it, but the way your heart races tells you more than words ever will, and tells you that maybe your attraction towards her was maybe more than just a crush.

“Oh uh, hey, Y/N! Sorry about that. I must’ve tripped and I think Steve or Dustin or somebody tied my shoelaces together when I was getting a drink or when I was changing the music and— oh God I ruined your costume! I’m so sorry!” She shrieks.

“It’s okay, Robin. Trust me.”

“You’ve got me falling for you already, Y/N�� I mean… Um…” she says, steadying herself against the wall next to you.

A squeal can be heard from behind the girl, a blonde-haired girl in a witches outfit came barging towards you and and the girl who stole your heart. The thief!!

She announces it’s time for Karaoke, and your mind races about what song you should sing. Maybe your own rendition of Uptown Girl by Billy Joel?

The stranger grabs your wrist and drags you into Jason’s living room. A microphone stand and Karaoke machine had been set up in the centre of the room with speakers surrounding it.

“Y/N and Robin want to sing together!” Steve Harrington called from within the kitchen, causing you to blush profusely. What is he doing? Is he telepathic? “Summer Nights by John Travolta and Olivia Newton John!”

“Steve!” Robin whined, before turning to you. The song began to pump through the music player and into the ears of every party guest. “Let’s just give it our best shot.”

“Summer lovin’ had me a blast.”

“Summer lovin’ happened so fast.”

“I met a girl crazy for me.”

“Met a girl cute as can be,” you sing, smiling like the Cheshire Cat as you look at her.

You and Robin link arms and begin dancing like nobody's watching, having fun. After the song comes to an end, you turn to put the microphone back on the stand, but Robin won’t let you.

“One more! Please!!”

You roll your eyes, laughing, and take hold of the microphone again. You and Robin begin screaming at the top of your lungs like hyenas to Material Girl by Madonna, prancing around the room. You twirl around with each other and laugh until your stomachs hurt. It’s the most fun you have both had in a long time, considering recent events that occurred in Hawkins.

Robin’s tune is awful but she doesn’t care. She made a new friend and that’s all that matters to her. You take off your cat ears and her hat and swap them around so now you’re a cat in the hat. And Robin is a cat in denim… It doesn’t have the same ring to it though.

The host, Jason Carver, finally enters the room and shouts at everyone to shut up. You assume he would have been off fucking his girlfriend upstairs but in reality she was out in the bushes with the local ‘freak’. But to be honest you have no idea why he’s labelled as the freak, he’s kind, caring, and is good with kids. How does that scream freak?

“I’m Robin, by the way,” Robin said, smiling, opening her arms to give you a hug. The most risky thing she’s ever done.

You embrace her for a few seconds, inhaling the soft scent of earthy perfume on Robin’s jacket, and you can feel her heart thumping hard in her chest.

“Y/N,” you breathe out, trying to catch your breath.

Out of the blue, Chrissy entered the living room, her hair a mess, wearing a leather jacket that certainly wasn’t Jason’s. “What are you?” You asked, looking at her outfit.

“I’m a mouse, duh!” She giggles, pointing to the mouse ear headband on her head.

“Oh god,” you say, slapping your palm to your forehead. “How much have you had to drink?”

“Just water.”

“So Eddie fucked you dumb, huh?” You laughed.

“Shut uppp, Y/N!” Chrissy whined, a smile reaching her eyes.

Your attention became set on the microphone again, where Steve takes his place. The next hour consisted of him attempting to freestyle some songs, couples running off and locking doors behind them, and the rest of you having a good time.

As the clock strikes 2am you decide it’s time to head home. As you start to leave, Robin catches up to you and spins you around with a dopey smile on her face.

“Oh, hey Robin!”

“I um… I wanted to give you something before you leave in case we never see each other again…” Her expression was unreadable.

Everybody else gets called into the living room so you and Robin are left alone in the hall at the door. Her eyelids flutter shut as she leans in closer to her, placing one of her hands on your hip.

Her lips brush yours with a newfound confidence and your mind explodes into a million particles. Your lips immediately curl into a smile so she kisses your teeth by accident.

She laughs and waits for your smile to calm down. You press your lips to hers and you both fall into the same void of a dream.

“I had a great time at this party, thanks to you, Y/N,” Robin says, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear, taking a moment to press a small kiss to the tip of your nose.

October 31st 1986

Senior year of Highschool, Steve decides to throw a Halloween party. This time it’s themed based on horror movies.

You and Robin hop out of the car and link arms on your way into the door.

“This is where it all began,” you say, playing with the cat ear headband in Robin’s hair.

It’s been nine months since you two started dating and a full year since you met. You decided to celebrate in style and do a full rerun of the night you met.

You swish in your dress while you dance with your girlfriend. When you stop dancing, Robin quirks an eyebrow and looks directly into your eyes.

“I like you. Like, I really like you!” She shouts over the music, brightening your mood and making your heart flutter.

“I really like you too, Pocket Rocket!”

Robin blushes at the nickname, remembering why you call her that. Always full of energy, always lifting everyone’s spirits up, her golden retriever energy…

Your song begins to play. Summer Lovin’, thanks to Steve who puts it on. Again. And is currently planning your and Robin’s wedding.

After a whole lot of dancing, singing and laughing, you sprawl onto a sofa next to each other. Robin with her arm around you, pulling you close and gently kissing your forehead.

When the party’s over, you decide to both sleep in Steve’s house as neither of you have a lift and Steve has a spare room. Neither of you drank at the party as you were too distracted by each other, and that smile that permanently etched itself into Robin’s soft lips.

Robin takes your hand and leads you to the bedroom door, backing you up against the wall as she kisses you. Just like she did on the day you met.

You wave off Steve as he said goodnight, and he waves back, a proud smile on his face, telling you everything you needed to know. He was the one who ‘set you up’ with Robin on the night you met.

“I’m just going to get some water,” Robin said, scurrying out of the room and up the stairs where there certainly wasn’t a kitchen. Most likely to gush about you to Steve and Nancy who are getting ready for bed in Steve’s room.

As soon as she arrives back into the room, Robin flops onto her back on the bed next to her girlfriend and snuggles into her. He pulls a blanket over you both and slots a movie into the TV.

Her eyes become droopy as she tries to watch Scream. Wrapped up in the blanket together, Robin falls asleep in seconds.

And you both can’t wait until next Halloween.

The spotted hyena’s jaw

The average adult spotted hyena boasts a bite force of 1,100 psi, or nearly 900 newtons, which is greater than that of leopards, tigers, and lions - though the tiger is quite close.

For its size, the spotted hyena has one of the most powerfully built skulls among the carnivora. Their skulls have special accommodations for large muscles and unique structures to protect the brain from impact force, which alongside massive specialized bone-crushing pre-molars, allows them to crack open the thick bones of the various herbivores that make up a hyena’s diet. This also lets them dine on any carrion they come across as bones are often left behind by other predators.

Spotted hyenas have a wide-spread reputation as scavengers and thieves but actually do most of their hunting themselves. They’re opportunists though and will take any chance at food they get. With their reputation there are a lot of ideas that hyenas will steal from lions but it’s actually quite rare, with one study done in 1999 seeing only 17 instances of hyenas taking kills from lions in a 7 year period (Cooper et al. 1999 under info source link).

Spotted hyenas may hunt alone, in groups of 2-4, or more rarely in large groups of 12 or more. Hyenas often dash into herds of prey to scatter them and pick out vulnerable individuals, and are able to track prey for many miles until it is too tired to keep running. The spotted hyena’s slumped back and shorter back legs give it a loping gait that it can keep up for miles before needing to rest.

Because they are often seen at carcasses there is a pretty wide misunderstanding of just how much hunting these animals do, but with their love of bone marrow and their strong stomach acid the spotted hyena is an integral part of keeping the environment free of debris and keeping herds strong and healthy.
