Ask The BellHunters: Ask from the Past?; Tasmanian Tigers

Ask the BellHunters

Hello, I'm Dawn Hunter-Bellwether...er, formerly Dawn Bellwether if you didn't recognize the added surname. And before you ask, yes 'that' Dawn Bellwether. Ex-Assistant Mayor, Ex-Mayor, Ex-Criminal Mastermind (Reformed thank you very much), City Savior, Controversial Author, and Predator/Prey relationship advocate. I'm also, as you probably guess by the hyphenated last name, married, and happily so to my mate Vernon Hunter, a gray wolf. I'm also a mother to three wonderful pups, something I never thought I'd ever have the chance to be! But, lamb sakes, I've gushed enough about myself here without explaining exactly what this blog is for. You see, after the release of my book “Predator Seeking Prey”, our little family started to get a lot of public attention again, and with it came a lot of question from curious mammals and other pred/prey couples from all over Animalia. My best friend and mate Vernon thought it would be a good idea to deal with these questions directly by opening a sort of blog/forum and taking those questions about our lives directly. Since then, I'd like to say our little blog has been quite successful, with even members of our family and friend circle pitching in and taking a few questions as well. So with all that said., please feel free to Ask Away!

Oh, and also, feel free to check our old location for previous asks until we can get a better archive system in place!

(Blog Author Note: This blog is based on the fanfiction “The Rehabilitation of Dawn Bellwether” as well as it's pseudo-sequel “A Lamb Among Wolves”. If you haven't read them, it'll probably help you better understand what's going on here if you do. I'll link both stories below. Oh Also, I'm open to questions as well. Simply direct “Author” emails to “WastedTime” when composing them. And before I forget, I have a Patreon! Five dollars gets you access to in progress fics, Ask priority, and art previews of both SFW and NSFW art. Of course, even a dollar would help. Seriously, it's how I keep projects like this alive.

Ask from the Past?; Tasmanian Tigers

Hilariously, I've actually answered this sort of ask before, but I didn't really expound on it. Anyway, like Mammoths and Saber Tooth tigers, Tasmanian Tigers do still live in “Austalia”, I had even made one the actual Prime Minister of the country in...what I guess I'd say is the current timeline of the story? The present? I thought I had Dawn detail that the species was common, at least in Austalia, and not extinct or even endangered. Unlike The Saber-Tooth Tiger and Mammoth which, while they still exist, there are few and their morphology has begun to change due to how “Evolution” works in Zootopia in terms of sentient mammals.

However, the text I scavenged below from the intial blog entry doesn't mention any of that, so...there's an expanded take from my perspective. Included below is the text from the original blog post. Thanks for the ask!

“Thanks to user Guillermo for pointing out that Hyenas are apparently felines, something I missed during my research because I was so sure they were just Canids. I’ll have to handle this in LAW as well when it comes to Ada…” -Old Ask Post
