Evolution & Anatomy

The opiros are very similar to that of the genus jip on the planet Gigerdi Prime and the lynx from the planet Earth. Although there are some differences, like larger size and brain, as well intelligence and cognitive capabilities. They do, however, have very similar fur, walking most of the time on all fours, and having similar ears. Compared to other species the opiros have significantly better eyesight, hearing and a sense of smell than species in average. Opiros have also developed the capability to use tools, but still retaining their feline appearance and capabilities.
