Description
Dylanuses are the most man-like of all mammals.

Intelligence:

The are the most intelligent of all animals (other than humans). Most species are about as smart as monkeys and apes, only one species, the American common dylanus, is almost completely as smart as a human. The American common dylanus even have their own language, they have primitive culture (similar to the extinct human, homo ergaster), and even understand human speech.

Appearance:

Most species resemble many groups of extinct hominids, mostly due to their fur, skin shape, etc., but one species, the American common dylanus, resembles a European human, but they have no beard (though they can get sideburns), no mustache, and are immune to obesities. The American common dylanuses don't loose much hair on their heads as they get older (unlike humans) and they don't get wrinkles (also unlike humans) as they age. Their bones don't fracture as they grow old [also unlike humans] (which is an advantage, especially if there are lots of bears, wolves, and big cats in the wild). Despite this, they are not primates at all, they are actually part of a carnivoran family that most closely related to mongoose-grouped mammals. Their ancestors were early mongoose-like mammals that migrated to North America, but millions of years later, they evolved into human-like forms, with some spreading out of North America and spreading into most other continents (except South America and Antarctica), diversifying into more than 400 species, ranging from tiny size ones (the smallest dylanus on earth is a Cuban dwarf dylanus, which stands only about 2.5 feet tall and weighs only about 23 pounds) to giant size ones (the largest dylanus alive today is the Madagascar giant dylanus, which stands over 16 feet tall and weighs about a ton, but the extinct Indian giant dylanus was much bigger, a little more than 18 feet tall and almost 2 tons).

Behavior:

Most species of dylanuses are very peaceful to their kind (as well as humans, in order to survive in human settlements), but one species, the American killer dylanus, is the most aggressive dylanus on earth, due to that they are much more carnivorous than any other dylanuses on our planet. The American killer dylanus only lives in the wild due to their aggression and their diet that includes other dylanus species, wild boars, deer, and sometimes humans. The American common dylanus however, is the most peaceful of all dylanuses, almost as peaceful as manatees (unlike humans, which can be aggressive and can start wars, etc.).

Diet:

Many species of dylanuses are usually omnivorous, feeding on fruits, insects, crustaceans, squid, fish, small reptiles, bird/reptile eggs, small mammals, carrion, and human food. One species, the American killer dylanus, even hunting wild boars, deer, goats, sheep, other dylanus species (including American common dylanuses), and sometimes humans. However, one species, the Madagascar giant dylanus is 100% herbivorous, feeding only on fruit, leaves, and even ferns. The Indian giant dylanus was also completely herbivorous.

Communications:

Most species of dylanuses make grunting, snorting, groaning, bellowing, growling, snarling, hissing, deep purring, and rumbling sounds. One species, the American common dylanus, even uses human language.

Distribution

They are the most successful species of mammals on earth, with many species being found in almost all continents, except Antarctica and South America, while the domestic dylanuses are found in all continents, except Antarctica. They have a population that's much higher than humans, about 8,104,725,173 dylanuses alive on earth today, making it the largest density in population per species on earth. 2,000 in Australia, some humans have let some of their ancient domestic dylanuses loose, allowing them to evolve to fill the niche left behind by the extinct wild Australian dylanuses (which died out due to climate change after the ice age), as these dylanuses help control the population of native small marsupials and introduced rodents in check, along with native fruits and emu eggs, because of this, Australian feral dylanuses has positive impact to native flora and fauna after the true wild Australian dylanuses became extinct.

Species:

There are more than about 450 species of known dylanuses alive on earth today. This list includes the well-known species (both living and extinct):

American common dylanus

American killer dylanus

Florida running dylanus

Cuban dwarf dylanus (extinct)

Asian dylanus

European dylanus

African dylanus

Australian Dylanus (extinct)

New Zealand giant dylanus

New Zealand common dylanus

Madagascar giant dylanus

Madagascar trumpet-nose dylanus

English dylanus (extinct)

Scottish dylanus (extinct)

Japanese dylanus (extinct)

Mexican dylanus

Indian giant dylanus (extinct)

Popularity:

Due to the American common dylanus being the most famous species of dylanus, some people made the famous TV series, Dylan the Dylanus series dylan613.deviantart.com/art/Dy… , which includes Dylan, Black, and Emma, who are American common dylanuses that are the main protagonists of the entire series. Back in 4,000 years B.C, people had domesticated some American common dylanuses somewhere in North America. They are now the 3rd most popular pets (due to their human-like behavior, diet, appearance, etc.). Many domestic dylanuses that were let loose or escaped can became feral, forming populations of their own that can contain so many feral dylanuses, for example, in Australia, feral dylanuses roam in large numbers, and also has the world's largest population of feral dylanuses on earth, containing more than 3 billion feral dylanuses that roam in forests, grasslands, outbacks, rainforests, swamps, and human settlements. Feral dylanuses still has their peaceful nature and friendliness like all domestic dylanuses.

Note 1: This animal is actually NOT a human, but is a relative of mongooses.

Note 2: Don't hate on this, it is just a work in progress.
