BREEDING
Like every creature, Canora form relationships and mate. Despite the Canora being a canine-reptile hybrid, the canine gene is always dominant in the reproductive organs, meaning that females give birth to pups rather than lay eggs. Most Canora generally follow a particular mating pattern, the season being during the winter, so that pups are born at the start of spring. The gestation period is usually around three months and litters tend to hold no more than four pups at a time.
Canora fall into the 'mate-for-life' myth. Most individuals, if found a mate, will remain together and mate for life. It is very uncommon for a Canora to have multiple partners, even if one of the pair deceases. A Canora would rather mourn over their lost loved one than find a new partner. If two Canora form a pair, the two are usually very affectionate with one another, even outside of the mating season. Of course not all Canora find a mate. Some prefer solitude, and some just never get the opportunity to find one. Whilst Canora are also very docile creatures among their own kind and very rare form conflict, males can become aggressive and dominant around females in heat.

During the first few weeks or even months of a pup's life, they are very dependent on their mother. Pups are born deaf and blind, and still struggle with their vision even up until six months of age, as their pupils are incredibly wide and sensitive to light. They are also born with abnormally long ears and feet, along with hints of scales and markings which will become more apparent as they mature. Said scales may spread across the body as the pup ages, or they may stay small and minimal.
Whilst it is common for similar traits and characteristics based on their ancestor's reptile genes to be passed down onto puppies, it is not necessarily true that a baby will turn out exactly like the parents. A pup can grow up to look totally different to their parents, as the total mishmash and man-made genetics from their origin date still affects the species today. |
