Description: Not only kalpanas are one of Jellielandia's best known animals, but one of Ingitiszoa's biggest musteloids, along with kalidahs, and they are even as big as elephant seals. Most kalpanas lived alone, or in big herd-like group, leads by the breeding pair of alphas, or lead by a male, or even a female. They can forage together like gorillas do, however, when you showed them no harm, they can be really nice and friendly. Kalpana mothers can save their pups from danger, and predators. Not all kallypanas are vegetarians, like giant pandas, some lone giants can scavenge, compete against an armorlion, the brainshrinker, a clan of hyapins, a pack of leucrottas, the kalidah, pack of coyotahs, or even lung dragons. Like most mongooses and honey badgers, they are immune to venom from small arachnids and snakes, to zakis and coyotahs' bites. People can easily domesticate a kalpana, to make them their powerful guard pets, but they are much elephant-sized. All kalpanas did look like hybrids between sloth bears, tigers, and Gigantopithecuses or Orang-e-tans, but they are more closely related to raccoons. They have dexterous front paws, that can be used are front feet and hands. Or in a long version that the kalpana is described as a mysterious creature, that has a head and body of a sloth bear, arms of Gigantopithecus or Orang-e-tan, back legs, tail, and fur-coat coloring like a tiger, which makes kalpanas being the only procyonid that had more stripes than any other procyonid. Kalpanas are sexually dimorphic, which males are bigger, muscular, but short-maned, while females are slender-bodied, with slightly larger hips, almost dull-colored, and their manes are slightly longer and lighter than males. In mating seasons that kalpanas fight each other for their mates, like this; males vs. males for females, and/or females vs. females for males. Female kalpanas can give birth to, from one to four pups, while hibernating, much like bear sows do. Like aardwolves, striped and brown hyenas, and hyapins, their manes can fluff up, depends on their emotions. While fighting, the kalpanas can use their manes for protection from their enemies that goes right onto the backs of their necks. But like mother bears, which they can protect their pups from intruders and danger, mother kalpanas can be territorial towards another mother kalpana, especially when a latter is not really nice to a former, unless they are so glad they get to know well.
