Species: Difference between revisions

Nekomimi have a human-like appearance and they have feature triangular ears at the top of their heads, similar in shape and expressional ability to those of domestic cats. According to the [[Bipedaliforma|Unified Bipedalism Theory]], they belong to the ''Primus nekomimi'' species in the ''Priminiforma'' subfamily but some taxonomists believe that they should fall into the ''Caulidae'' tribe along with Tieflings. These are in addition to ears on the sides of their head that are identical to those of humans. They also have cat-like tails. Their cat-like features are an example of [[Wikipedia:convergent evolution|convergent evolution]], as nekomimi are offshoots of a recent common ancestor with humans and not genetically related to Felines. They are believed to have originally evolved in the islands far to the east of Novaris after a period of isolation from other populations, in particular the island that is today Infinite Loop. Nekomimi populations are known to have migrated to South East Yasteria in antiquity, and today can be found in some capacity on every continent. Significant amounts of nekomimi live in Borea and western Yasteria.

 

Borean Kemonomimi is considered to be in the Nekomimi branch of the Kemonomimi tree. Well they look traditionally Kemonomimi, their internal biology great differs from non-Borean Kemonomimi. Having a much shorter life span compared to the non-Borean counterparts, only living up 60 to 70 years primary due to [[Kemonomimi Genetic Immunodeficiency Disorder]] but has a much greater fertility rate. The animalistic parts of the Borean Kemonomimi tend to be much fluffier compared to most non-borean Kemonomimi , and often lacking human ears but this isn't always the case.

 

Kuduk Nekomimi are a subspecies of Nekomimi that inhabit small diaspora at the eastern coast of Kuduk. Similarly to the Peregrin Nekomimi, the classification of Kuduk Nekomimi is debated on whether they should be considered a subspecies or just an ethnic group. Physical characteristics that distinguish Kuduk Nekomimi are coiled hair, bushy eyebrows, and honey-colored skin.

 

Peregrin Nekomimi are a subspecies, or ethnic group, of nekomimi that inhabit Peregrinia. While it is disputed exactly what classification these nekomimi deserve, it is agreed that they represent a genetically distinct group. Marks of this genetic distinction include fair, almost pale skin, a proclivity for heterochromia, and hair that is often several shades of color from blonde to scarlet.
