 ====== Sikirin ======
 **Sikirinar** (sing. //sikirin//) are a largely [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arboreal_locomotion|arborial]] species of [[species:clade:dvidalin]], related to the [[orghysh:]]. Though they have no language and are non-sophonts, they are fairly intelligent animals and have had a long, if ambiguous, relationship with takma society.

 Juvenile coloration is less flamboyant, with both sexes starting out almost uniformly dark green with dark olive stripes on their sides. They begin to transition to adult coloration around two [[concept:timekeeping#cycle|cycles]] of age, at the beginning of adolescence.
+===== Habitat and ecology =====
+Sikirinar are native to the rainforests of the [[geography:sekhaa:region:Cerulean Tangle]]. They spend most of their time in the canopy, using their long arms and legs to climb and travel between branches; though their wings are not capable of flight, they do allow sikirinar to glide between trees that cannot be reached by climbing or jumping. They may descend to ground level in search of food, to defecate, or (if more suitable sites are scarce) to maintain nests, but overall they prefer to remain elevated - if not actually in trees, then in other high vantage points such as cliffs.
+They are fairly generalist in their feeding habits; they will eat fruit, leaves, fungi, insects and other small invertebrates, small to medium vertebrates, and eggs. They do not typically attempt to take large prey, either alone or cooperatively, but may band together to seize a large kill from another predator.
