Ball-Tailed Cat

Ball-tailed cats are a species of big cats, related to mountain lions, that live in the mountains of North America.

Appearance
Ball-tailed cats are basically mountain lions, with a few other features thrown in. For one thing, they have a pinkish tinge to their fur. Second, they have six legs instead of four. Third, and most well-known of all, they have a big, bony, ball-shaped club at the end of their long tail (think like an ankylosaurus).

Behavior
Ball-tailed cats are similar to their mountain lion cousins, in the fact that they tend to live solitary lives and stay out of the way of other members of their species until mating season. The females are fiercely protective of their cubs, and will fight to the death to protect them. However, they have a different hunting strategy from their mundane cousins. When one hunts, it will climb into a tree and wait until prey wanders into striking distance. Then, when a prey item has wandered into their striking distance, then it will lower its tail and strike the prey item with the ball at the end, stunning it. It will then leap down and strike a final blow.
