Snowstalker

The Snowstalker is a fictional species of ice mammal created for the film The Future is Wild. The snowstalker is a saber-toothed mustelid. It is descended from the wolverine and inhabits the tundra of Northern Europe 5 million years from now. The creators recognized the adaptability of wolverines and the past records of saber-toothed cats during the last ice age. The saber-teeth evolved to kill large shagrats, since the snowstalker should not waste too much energy bringing down large prey. All the snowstalker does is bite and wait for its victim to die. Also, it will sometimes approach nesting Gannetwhales to get at their eggs and chicks. The snowstalker grows 2 feet high at the shoulder and 4 feet in length, making it much larger than any of the modern mustelids, and is covered in a thick white pelt for camouflage against the snow. The female snowstalker has a quick estrus cycle, lasting AbOUT three weeks. The reason for this is snowstalker are solitary and have massive territories due to lack of prey.
