Maybe its due to your new software, but i feel like your artwork looks even better. Btw, which major cities do ophaurs inhabit the most often? New York? London? Rio de Janeiro? Beijing? And where can i find the most exquisite ophaur meat in that city?
Hey i know it's just been about a day since my first comment but i kinda had another thought where I'm at right now it's been ridiculously hot and I'm in the deep south for reference so an Ophaur would probably break into my house and just chill by my AC machine which is in the window right next to my bed welp that's a waking up surprise and a half 🤣 (Jokes aside though how do they survive the heat with all that fur do they just shed a lot?)
Okay, i know this has no relevance to the video, but i dislike that there aren’t an predators that can really deal with this venomous creature, so i made one! Name: Mirianis Scientific Name: Cariama remedium Nicknames: Ophaur Butchurs Relative: Seriema Height: 3 feet (Male), 4 feet (Female) Weight: 32-42 pounds (Male), 121-147 pounds (Female) Diet: Omnivorous Preferred Food: Males eat Ophaurs, Small Rodents, Birds, Amphibians, Insects, and Smaller creatures in general and carrion, while Females eat the same thing, but include more plant matter into their diet such as Fruit, Berries, Nuts, Seeds, etc Lifespan: 17-19 Years depending on species Reproduction: Mating season is in early Spring, 5-7 Eggs are laid, Hatchings stay with their parents until their 7 Months old and reach sexual maturity at 8-9 years old Language: Chirps, Hisses, Beak Clacks, Screeches Range: All continents except Antarctica and mainland Australia Habitat: Forests, grasslands, and any place that doesn't have constant snowfall. Mirianis cannot be found in cities Behavior: Mirianis’s are a social species of bird related to the Red-legged Seriema’s of South America. Males are smaller, lighter, and capable of flight, unlike their female counterparts who are larger, stockier and flightless. Males and Females make flocks of the same gender, with males tending to be larger at 7-18 members to the females 5-12. The species has a natural resistance to the venom of their preferred prey, the Ophaur. They use their long and strong legs to kick at the Ophaur while keeping at a safe distance, and their legs are covered in tough leg scutes that make it difficult for an Ophaur to bite through, and their notoriety to hunt in large flocks makes it even more difficult for an Ophaur to defend themselves when caught out in the open. Their feathers are usually a mix of brown, black, and white, and it can darken or lighten depending on the subspecies and where they live in the world. During mating season, flocks of males gather in open areas of land and start making loud calls to attract females. Once a female is close enough, the male will spread open its wings and reveal a pattern of red feathers underneath, and will preform an intricate dance to try and woo said female. If impressed, the female will allow the male to mate with her, and after will start scouting out a nesting spot for them to lay a clutch of eggs. The male and female will take turns incubating and foraging for food until the chicks hatch, which are able to walk a few minutes after hatching, and follow their parents around until they are 7 months old, with males and females splitting off and going back to their same sex flocks after that 7 month period. Mirianis and humans don’t have the best of relationships, similar to the relationship with coyotes and humans today, but are legally protected in many countries as they keep the Ophaur population down, and you have to have a permit if you want to hunt them, and can only hunt them during late summer and early fall. Mirianis are specialized in hunting things smaller or slightly smaller than them, and struggle to kill anything above their weight class, so generally take the flee option when faced with larger, stronger predators. When hunting, they usually use the sickle like claw that both the Mirianis and Red-legged Seriema share, to pin down prey before eating them, with usually multiple Mirianis pinning down an Ophaur and eating them while there still alive. Mirianis are crepuscular, and usually hunt during dawn and dusk, avoiding interaction with most predators by either sleeping in trees for the males, or in large communal burrows for the females It’s not the best creature i’ve made so far, and i can always come up with more, so feel free to criticize it if you want, or use it as your own idk. Love the video by the way!!!
I appreciate the effort, but this animal doesn't really make sense in my opinion. What's the point in targeting ophaurs as their main prey when there are better, less risky sources? the males are small enough that an ophaur can kill at least one of them without using a drop of venom even if they're in a pack (remember, ophaurs have long fangs and retractile claws...). Since ophaurs would view them as a threat, it means that the ophaurs will target THEM too. It's not a very good idea for males to sleep in trees since ophaurs are very good climbers. Since the male and female separate from their flocks while raising chicks, it makes both the parents and chicks even more vulnerable to attack. The fact that they can live for 17-19 years but only reach maturity at 8-9 also means that they spend a majority of their life unable to reproduce, which is not something a (presumably) ground-nesting bird wants at all. Ophaurs have bigger clutches and are sexually mature after only a year, so an ophaur killing a single Mirianis will have a much larger impact than a Mirianis killing a single ophaur, meaning that they wouldn't be very good at controlling ophaur populations (it would be the other way around). I can't be bothered to talk about the fact that they also live worldwide like the ophaurs. TLDR, the "Ophaur Butcher" would be the one who's being butchered by the ophaurs.
@@TheOphaurDenI have actually made a predator for ophaurs as well Name: HumpNeck Moniter lizards Size: 7 to 9 feet long Weight: males(125 pounds) Females(135 pounds) Behaviour: the HumpNeck lizards are a species of monitor lizards which use the powerful neck muscles which form a hump to ragdoll their prey and swallow it whole Hunting: they will travel a lot and will eat anything they can get their mouth around their jaws can open wide like snakes to swallow larger prey Mating: males have bright patterns on their necks with which they attract females after which they mate females will dig a burrow and lay 8 to 11 eggs they lay the eggs in the end of winter the eggs will hatch in only a week after which they will stay near the female Intelligence: females and males are very intelligent being able to remember any humans which have helped them the lizards are quite docile towards humans and are usually kept as pets and the females can be vengeful if one of their youngs has been killed or jealous if the human that takes care of them shows liking to another lizard Extra note: the lizards kept by people are more docile then normal ones and are usually larger due to lack of predation but can be deadly Usually male ophaurs are eaten due to them being smaller but large male or female HumpNeck lizards will eat female ophaurs
@@TheOphaurDen I got one, too! This is what Ophaurs would like to hunt If Multituberculates survived to modern day. Species name: Common Blademouse (Carcharomys vulgaris) Genus: Carcharomys Family: Carcharomyidae Superfamily: Ptilodontoidea Suborder: Cimolodonta Order: Multituberculata Subclass: Allotheria Class: Mammalia (obviously) Description: The Common Blademouse is a late-surviving Multie where the body (excluding the tail, you’ll see why), reaching the same length as a human hand, while the hairless prehensile tail reaching twice the length of its body. Males are slightly larger than females, while both sexes have venomous spurs. Fur color is greyish-brown, greyish black eyes, four dexterous fingers and toes, pink hands, feet and tail, rounded ears with pointy tips, and pinkish black nose pads. Both sexes had a cloaca, while males have internal testicles and a bifuracted PP, females have bifurcated uteri & bifurcated vaginas, a trait that is familiar with Opossums. But unlike Marsupials, blademice have convergently evolved placentas similar to rodents and shrews. Their teeth consist of ever-growing lower incisors, upper incisors, small but prominent cheek teeth with many cusps, and some simple molars and premolars that are covered in iron. Distribution & Habitat: Forested & urban areas throughout Eurasia & North America Activity cycle: Diurnal Diet: Nuts, seeds, berries, small insects, and some human food Gestation: 1 month Reproduction: Blademouse reproduction is somewhere between a Marsupial (bifurcated uterus, able to gestate embryos while nursing pups) & a Placental (modified pelvic structure, longer gestation for more-developed young). Females give birth to 6-8 pups that take only 3-4 weeks to reach maturity. Behavior: When confronted by a predator like the Ophaur, the blademouse uses its spurs to deliver quick-paralyzing venom so the blademouse can escape easily. Blademouse travels long distances, and mark their territory with their scent glands. They can run for short bursts of speed, excellent climbers and swimmers, that prehensile tail came in handy when hanging themselves. They are social critters where groups (called collections) concist of 10-13 individuals. They are intellegent, having excellent memories, and can recognize themselves in a mirror. Vocalization: Squeaking, barking, chirping Lifespan: 3 Years (in the wild) 6 Years (in captivity)
Wow even I wasn't expecting this Urban environments are definitely nice to see on here!

@@zedhead9016 I guess New York, but I'm biased since I live there.
For the second question, uhh idk
Cool
Mrs. Ophaur how many ophaurs died during 9/11
Uhhhh idk
9 out of the 11 that they had in there
Hey i know it's just been about a day since my first comment but i kinda had another thought where I'm at right now it's been ridiculously hot and I'm in the deep south for reference so an Ophaur would probably break into my house and just chill by my AC machine which is in the window right next to my bed welp that's a waking up surprise and a half 🤣
(Jokes aside though how do they survive the heat with all that fur do they just shed a lot?)
Lmao that would be funny
To answer your question, they grow a much thinner coat in the summer.
@TheOphaurDen Ah alright thanks lol
My cousin’s dog killed a Ophaur and brought it into his house one time
So it's a new sub-species?
@@Rhbplayzbird nah.
@@TheOphaurDen oh 🥲
Scavenger
