Description
The gestation period is 16 weeks. The litter size usually consists of around 3 to 4 pups of about 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) each, which are born blind and helpless. The females rear them alone, sheltering them in dens such as thickets and rocky crevices. The father of the pups generally takes no part in rearing them. Unrelated wandering male Arcanines may even kill pups to make the female receptive. Once weaned of its mothers breast milk, young Growlithes are taught essential survival skills by its mother. Mother Arcanines will show their pups how and what to hunt. Once the young Growlithe pups show signs of fire breathing capabilities, the mother will teach them how to use it when hunting. The pups become independent around 18 months of age, but it is not until they are around 2–2½ years old that they leave their mother.
Native to much of eastern and southern Asia, the Arcanine is an apex predator and an obligate carnivore. In the wild, Arcanines mostly feed on larger and medium sized Pokémon such as Stantlers, Tauros, Piloswines and Swinubs. Young Growlithe pups will tend to go after young Stantlers and Swinubs, otherwise they rely on what their mother catches. Sometimes, Especially in Siberia they will prey on Slakoths, Totodiles, Vigoroths, Croconaws, and once fully matured Arcanines will go after the Slakings and Feraligatrs as well. Like many predators, they are opportunistic and will eat much smaller prey, such as Aipoms, Magikarps, Marils and Farfetch'ds.
Uh oh shit just got real in the Pokémon world. As i said before in the first two, I'm using this series to help me with making backgrounds and environments.

This is actually a pretty fun idea: Observing Pokemon in the wild in all their fascinating, vicious glory. You pulled it off really well here; everything seems so natural.
On a side note, I would kill to see an Arcanine on Feraligatr battle. That'd be amazing.

Wow, you put a lot of time into thinking through these pokemon. I think you've done a really nice job with the background, and I like how fierce that one attacking the deer looks.

Wow, very interesting. I can tell you've put a lot of thought in this. I actually didn't notice the Teddiursa and Ursaring at first. I had some fun reading the description and relating it to actual animals. Nice job.
(Poor Stantler! Oh well, they sound weird. )

this looks great, I love the detail you've put in and I really like that you've used dark blue for the shadows in the snow rather than grey, it gives a lovely effect. I think the snow on the trees feel a bit sharp, try blending it in a bit more and it'll look great

cute yet kinda scary. I like it because it actually shows pokemon hunting. I remember in original pokemon the mentioned that pokemon eat each other like 2 times and then stopped. Stuff like this adds more realism to the world of Pokemon

You've got a pretty good snow texture going on on those posts. nice! I also like the colors.
The predator might do better to be facing more toward its prey, not turned away from it. Check out some shading tutorials...some more shading/dramatic shading would make this scene pop out a lot. C:
The pups are very cute!

Those markings where the Arcanine and the Stantler are running, it almost looks like the poor Stantler already staggered. I think you did well on the time of day, they barely have shadows and everything is just so bright.
