Under such environmental conditions, the affected takma, if no shelter is available, may feel an urge to attempt to remove most of its body from contact with the outdoor air. Prehistoric takmar fulfilled this need by burrowing into the ground and covering themselves - leaving only the end of their muzzle exposed - but in modern times, travelers in arid … text/html 2023-11-02T16:00:02+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://shyriath.a2hosted.com/avishraa/doku.php?id=takma:body_language&rev=1698940802&do=diff Takma body language Bodily movements Facial expressions Like humans, takmar use the movements and set of the face to convey emotional states.

Although young takmar of the same age remain in roughly the same size range through most of their early lives, beginning in late childhood the average size of females increases faster than that of males.
