Liar-Bear

The liar-bear (aktato aktato , literally false bear) is a species of bird found across the DSRR’s northeast, with variations by region. Liar-bears are known for their habit of mimicking the sounds of predatory animals, like birds of prey and large land animals, including bears as the name implies. 
== Description ==
Liar-bears are medium to large birds with long legs and tails. Around the Great Lakes and in the rainforests of the mainland and the Currant Isles, liar-bears can reach a sextant in length, while highland subspecies measure only half that. The larger subspecies exhibit bright colors, while smaller subspecies display a more muted palette of tans, browns and whites. 
== Behavior and Diet ==
Liar-bears mimic the sounds of animals present in their area, including dusk panthers, hawks and bears. Some birds in urban areas have been recorded mimicking threatening urban sounds, like the horns of trains or the sounds of construction equipment. These vocalizations serve to scare away other foraging birds and land herbivores, allowing the liar-bear better access to food resources. Liar-bears are omnivorous, eating small invertebrates, seeds and fruits.
