Anatomy

• Both alien species share the common trait of an special bone structure that make them lighter but less likely to break something after a fall or a bad landing (specific molecular structure, possibly some carbonXcalcium strong polymer?).
• Taller and slender than geroo, but smaller than anup. Around sourang-like height?
• Have glide-glaps that allow them to glide from trees to trees.
• Very varied fur colors (red, brown, fulvous, cream, tan, copper, black, etc.)

Ecology

Habitat

Polatosha are particularily adapted to forested lands. Their fur is adapated from temperate (poles) to warm (lower latitudes) temperatures from their homeworld.

Diet

Polatosha are omnivorous. Their diet is mostly made of vegetables like fruits and nuts. For animal protein intakes, they can also eat eggs and small water animals.

Demography

Most of the polatosha inhabits the Unity. They share their homeworld with the katakori, the other sapient species originating from the planet.
