4. Special parts
The chetapine has very tough skin and quills sticking out of it so it can scare anything off. The paws are huge and can rip stuff apart and the back legs help it jump high and far.

Well the chetapine moves by running. It can run up to 50mph. It also moves by balling up and rolling around. Balling up is also a defense mechanism.

It eats by running down its prey and paralyzing with its quills. It bites its neck and rips it throat out and then gets to feast.

The way that the chetapine defends its self is by rolling up into a ball and sticking its quills out and it hisses at the thing that is trying to get it.

It talks to the other members of the pack by making a hissing sound or roaring as loud as possible. The roar can be so loud that you can hear it from a mile away.

The chetapine lives in packs so it can kill prey easier and so that one individual doesn’t have to do all of the work.

This is a picture of a grassland.

15. Hot, cold, or mild?
The chetapine love the cold and the hot. It likes the cold because it doesn’t use heat to track down its prey. It likes the warm because it loves to be hot. The temperature at night is 60 degrees and during the day about 85 degrees

16. Where does it live
The chetapine lives in small caves and in tall trees so that it can see what is out there just in case of an attack.

17. Six senses
The chetapine can hear because of large ears, can touch with its paws, smell with its snout, taste with the mouth and night vision and can see perfect.

18. Human effect
The human effect affect would be awful because the chetapine can’t adapt very well so if humans came into the picture the chetapine would go extinct.
