Ringtail

Ringtails are animals that appear in The Lion King fanfictions.
==Information==
Ringtails are a member of the raccoon family and are native to the arid regions of North America. Widely distributed and adapted to its range, it has been hunted for its fur, but has been listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
As adults, a ringtail lives a solitary life. Its calls and sounds are similar to that of a raccoon. They are also known to use their excrement to communicate to other ringtails over mates or territory; a study found that ringtails will mark their territory in a similar fashion to different animal species.
While ringtails prefer to live alone, they will form dens with one another or groom one another. They share little interaction during the breeding season and can survive long periods due to their abilities to retain water and gain it from the food they eat. They mate in the springtime and have an average of two to four kits in a litter. Their lifespan reaches an average of seven years.
Ringtails are usually dark brown in color with paler underparts, have pointed muzzles, long whiskers, and a body resembling a cat's. The most distinguishable part of their bodies is their tail, which is black-and-white and can have up to fourteen to sixteen stripes. Ringtails can use their bodies to balance and climb trees and can also use their tails to distract predators. A ringtail's body measures up to thirty to forty-two centimeters and its tail is thirty-one to forty-four centimeters from the base. Its ankle joint is flexible over one hundred and eighty degrees, assisting with climbing.
