Utadi

Utadi is an African dream, meaning it is set in Africa. You will not be finding animals from any other part of the world here. Tigers are not found in Utadi. We are also not set to 50+ years ago, so your character's species must also be currently existing. That means no Cave or Barbary Lions, guys! If you are uncertain of what pertains to an African species, do some research! If you ever have any questions, feel free to ask one of our staff members.



Lions

·Males protect the pride and territory, while the females hunt. Hunts are typically done at night.
·Lions sleep anywhere from 16 to 20 hours a day.
·Litters are typically only 2-4 cubs, and multiple females usually have cubs at the same time.







Spotted Hyena

·Females are larger than males, have more muscle mass and are more aggressive due to an excess of testosterone in their bodies.
·Hyena clans are led by a single female.
·They have a wide diet range and are considered both hunters and scavengers.
·Litters average at 2 pups. Rarely exceeding 3.




Striped Hyena

·Tend to be solitary, or live in small groups of no more than 4 & usually only 1 female.
·Mainly scavengers, but capable of hunting small prey.
·Litters can be anywhere from 1-4 pups. The pups nurse up to and past 1 year of age.








Cheetah

·Solitary creatures, they only meet up to mate.
·They hunt gazelle and antelope, as well as other small prey.
·Litters range from 1-4 kits.












Leopard

·Males are about 30% larger than females.
·Store their prey in trees to keep it safe from Hyenas & Lions.
·Litters can have anywhere from 1-3 cubs.












African Wild Dog

·Packs consist of relative females and males, as well as pups. Same-sexed groups of brothers/sisters will usually wander about until they find a group of the opposite sex and will then form a pack.
·One of Africa's most successful hunters; they will hunt anything from an impala to a wildebeest.
·Litter size can range anywhere from 2-20, but here at Utadi the size is limited from 2-10.




Ostrich

·These large, flightless birds can run up to 43 mph. Their legs are so strong, a single kick could potentially kill a lion.
·Ostrich herds can consist of at most a dozen birds. Only the dominant male and female are allowed to breed.
·They are omnivores. Typically, they eat roots and plants, but will also occasionally eat lizards and other small creatures when needed.




Thomson's Gazelle

·Being the main prey item for Cheetahs, these small antelope are capable of outrunning most other predators. They can reach speeds of 60 mph!
·They can be found living in herds or wandering groups of bachelor/ettes.
·Females will, on average, give birth to a single fawn, but there are times when more than that have been documented.


Zebra

·Males can be 10% larger than females. No individual looks the same, meaning there will never be identical zebra.
·Zebra live in Harems consisting of a single adult male, or in bachelor groups. When a mare first comes into estrus, the male that manages to impregnate her is the one who ultimately keeps her. She will become a part of the new Harem for the rest of her life. Stallions have no interest in older mares, and only compete over the younger ones.
·Mares generally only have a single foal, but it is possible for them to have twins. If a male is overthrown from his Harem, the new stallion will kill the current foals and stress the pregnant females to the point of miscarriage.


**Any sizes beyond these limits will result in health concerns and must be approved by staff members.**
