The '''tamybara''' is slightly more aquatic than its ancestor. While its habitat has no major rivers, it does have ponds and streams. Once the offspring are old enough, they forage with their parents, often wading into the water with them. When they need to rest, they go back into the mother's pouch, which is underneath the tail. However, the pouch isn't hermetically sealed, so if the water is too deep, the offspring must climb onto their parents' backs. Unlike its ancestor, tamybaras do not have spikes over their spines, therefore making it possible for their offspring to sit comfortably on parents' backs. As it has no predators (at time of evolution), its spikes are useless for defense, but they do provide something for their offspring to grip if they start to fall off their parents' backs.
Tamybaras bear one or two offspring at a time. Unlike their ancestor, they no longer make burrows. However, they still try to sleep in burrows if they can find one that's big enough. Occasionally, a tamybara that's unaware of its size will try to occupy a tamchuck burrow that's too small for it. Its attempts to fit itself inside a burrow that's too small for it are humorous to watch. Sometimes, the burrow is unfortunately not abandoned, leading to tamybaras inadvertently shoving their hind ends into the faces of resident tamchucks.
Line 42 ⟶ 37:
Triva: In experimental conditions, tamybaras love to be petted, and may even make strange squeaking noises if the experimenter suddenly stops petting them. As grapefruit contains nootkatone, which tamybaras use as a social signal, captive tamybaras show unusual interest in grapefruit. However, they don't enjoy eating grapefruit, as they dislike the bitter chemical naringin. Like its ancestor, the tamybara's eyes are slightly out of synchronization when it blinks.
