Predators and Prey

back to Aussie foxying!
I apologize or congratulate you that I was not there yesterday, I was preparing for today's history test (on the Internet), everything is fine, I have an excellent mark. But because of this, today I will tell 2 F A C T S.

Fact No. 2
Fragmentation of russia

In 70 years of the 11th century, feuds began in Russia. All killed each other, which was used by the Polovtsy, who began to raid. Therefore, a meeting was convened in 1097, where it was proposed to divide Russia. After that, Russia was divided into many small states (like about 15, but then there were more). Talk about each of them for a long time, so here is a map (Novgorod land in green).

Fact No. 3
Tatar-Mongol invasion.

Since I don't remember much about it, I will talk about it briefly.
There were Mongolian tribes, one of which was the Mongols proper as well as the Tatars. Then in the Mongol tribes there was a power struggle which Temujin won. He united the tribes, and soon at a meeting of the nobility he was proclaimed the eldest under the name Genghis Khan. Then he began to conquer everything around, including Russia, was 1237. He took advantage of the fragmentation of Russia and went to fight, then Batu Khan continued to fight, then the Golden Horde formed, then it broke up, then there was Khan Mamai, then she gathered again. Then it fell apart again, then Russia began to win in some battles. The Golden Horde was weakening; there was Khan Tokhtamysh. Then Russia won, everything is cool, 1480.
Now about the device of dependence of Russia on the Mongol-Tatars. All lands paid a big tribute, it's like 80-90% income taxes for you. All the princes had to take the right to rule their lands, which was requested from the khan, they could deprive him of this right, or vice versa, transfer to him. There was such a prince, Ivan Kalita, he first complained about his enemies to the khans, then he himself began to strengthen the Moscow principality. Yes, during the period of dependence, the Moscow principality began to dominate in Russia, before Kiev was the head, but the weakening of Kiev began earlier. The principality of Moscow was struggling hard to become the main one; there was a tough war between the princes. In fact, all the principalities had to do was unite, but they fought with each other. As soon as the principality became strong, the khans of the Golden Horde took away the right to rule from the prince and transferred to another. It is impossible not to say about the Principality of Lithuania, it was not part of Russia and Russia fought against it before the capture of the Golden Horde, and during the period of dependence it often attacked and some princes were in alliance with it. By the way, in 1366, Prince Dmitry Donskoy ruled in Moscow and he replaced the wooden walls of the fortress with white stone walls, so the Kremlin arose, white. By the way, the Mongol-Tatars often devastated Russian lands, including Moscow.

It seems to be all, here is a map of the development of the Mongol Empire during its development and the white Kremlin.

I think there are still some Mongols in Western Russia, Kalmyks.
@Spilogale Pygmaea

Good night! Maybe you should tell Elias to watch over you while you sleep! You've been a victim of a lot of nasty jokes today :(

I don't know if Elias well be much help against 'nasty jokes', the ones he tells are pretty terrible;)

*Hides his guinea pig cookbook*

hey, I was looking for that!

OK. I'm going to make a fursuit head to sell on Ebay, or maybe even on FA. Anyway, any thoughts on what species I should do?

ooooh, pawesome!!!:):);)

OK. I checked. Dr. Demento isn't on the radio anymore, but you can purchse streams of his programs online. He started in 1970.
Thank you for the information!

I will see if I can listen to them.

That is great! I hope you make it! I could suggest a fox.

I mostly have a full pallet of brown fur. I have some small amounts of yellow and pink as well. I also have some medium gray shortish fur. The brown fur I have varies from long to short.

I don't have any "Fox" colored fur, though.

Hey, what goes around comes around, right? I've done my fair share of nibbling to others on this thread, but that's just how guinea pigs learn more about certain things (and others!). If anything, it kinda makes me happy that others are learning like how I learn :D
Oh, well...
*Nibbles @BreyoGP's ear a little*
Blech- tastes like an uncooked boot! I'll stick to leaves~
That isn't a recommendation. I'm looking for ideas and inspiration.
A pawesome possum?

Then I may suggest a brown bear, I don't see many bear fursuiters.

The only gray fox I know is the Gray Fox.

That's a possibility.
Maybe this kinda color scheme?:

My good friend over in Arkansas is a gray fox. His name is Ozark Foxx.

This is a possible color scheme. I'll be making a partial with head, hand paws, and tail. I guess footpaws are a possibility, but I cannot make those ahead of time because I won't know foot size.

That looks good!

Gray foxes live in my country, but I haven't seen any.

Brown bear is a possibility. I do know a gray fox fursuiter, but everyone keeps calling him a raccoon.
Then the bear seems to be my only suggestion. Oh, that is nice! I guess he looks more like a raccoon.

Aww! Come on!

Thanks for the celery though.

Anytime, buddy!

Ouch! Your fangs are sharp!
*begins to rub my ear*
I'll take that as a compliment, though, thank you :D

*Hides his guinea pig cookbook*
Do you have all sorts of recipes in there about hay, fruits, and veggies that are suited for guinea pigs? No need to hide it, I'm open for cooking ideas!

Also, about the fursuit head thing, I'd recommend making a bead of one of the more frequently chosen fursona species out there so that you'll probably have more buyers!

I think that if I tried to nibble on @BreyoGP 's ear, I would end up giving him a head piercing.
Well, let's not try it and find out! I'd prefer if my blood and my insides stayed... inside.
