Description
*hand falls off* :']




I figured some people may be concerned with anatomy and how these guys look if they weren't so ripped so, here y'all go. As a preview, Michi ARE likely to be canine, though they share properties to that of a feline. Scientists have not classified them yet.


From the point of view of someone in the field studying them.



Head & Ear Notes
-The skull seems to be slightly smaller than the actual head, there must be a dense layer of muscle atop the skull, around the cheeks, and muzzle.
-The back teeth seem to be very sharp, resembling that of a big cat's, likely function - to shred meats or fibrous foods. No chewing here!
-Front bite is close to the canine's front bite, slight overbite.
-Eyes consistently almond or triangular shaped.
-Canine nose present.
-Ears consistently pointed, can point inwards, or look more relaxed - rare style, a flopped button type ear.



Limbs & Claws:
-Claws are sharp and pointed by definition, however the Michi has slightly dubbed ends.
-Claws are slightly retractable, when tensed more claw is exposed. Likely for climbing or walking across ice lakes. 
-Legs are muscular, front legs being moreso powerful, while the back legs are less dense, more spring-filled slightly smaller in proportion.
-Toes seem to vary, they can be bony or more filled out depending on how thick the individual is.



Tail:
-Tail bone is always short, actual flesh seems to be rounded well. 
-Tail can move in all directions, wag when excited or startled, and hug close to the butt when scared or anxious. 
-Dominance and aggression shown when tail is fully erect, tail at half that showing alertness.
-A hanging tail can represent content or calmness.



Variation in Body Types:
-All observed were Standards, of differing fur lengths, but mostly short to medium in lengths.
-Heavy body types vary between muscular to bulky. Muscular heavy shows a decent amount of muscle mass, while bulky seems to be softer and more rounded.
-Heavy bodies generally still show a defined tuck. Legs, chest, heads, and necks seem to differ in width.
-Light body types vary between lean to light. Lean showing a bit of muscular definition, while light seems to show very little and may even be slightly bony.
-Average Michi often look either like a lean muscular or just average. Lean muscular having a defined muscle mass, but with little to no change in widths; Average being softer and light.
-Suffice to say, I observed no stocky, overly tall, or oddly sized Michi. While body types differed, sizes were all relatively the same as well as proportions.



Genetic Links
-FIG 2. Two brothers of the same litter vary in not size, but body type, even sharing similar coat patterns and faces.
-FIG 3. Female with two fanged male pups (likely of 4 months). Both the same size/height, but one is considerably more lean like the mother, while the other is heavier. Again both share the same fur patterns.

Really interesting breed! Are the teeth supposed to overlap differently from dogs/cats? www.onlineveterinaryanatomy.ne… www.skullsite.co.uk/greenland/…
