Sehlat

The Sehlat is a large predatory mammal native to Vulcan. For many centuries these creatures have been tamed and kept as pets by Federation citizens.

Habitat
Sehlats are native to the deserts of Vulcan, including the Forge. A group of these animals has also been brought to the Nopada System.

Characteristics
Sehlats are fierce predators that attack alone or in groups. They are not afraid to attack prey much larger than themselves, including humanoids.

Remarkable are their long, sharp fangs. Their fur most often spots a light-brown color ornamented with dark lines and patters.

Pet Sehlats
On Vulcan, tamed Sehlats have been kept as pets for children for several centuries. Many notable Vulcan Starfleet officers owned Sehlats in their youth, including ambassador Spock.
