NORTHEASTERN WOODLAND CABIL

  • The northeastern woodland Cabil lives mainly in New York State in the Catskill mountains.
  • This Cabil eats mainly woodland grasses, berries, and nuts, with the occasional fish.
  • They live in groups of two or three, but are also commonly found alone
  • They have lighter whiter fur
  • They have an unusual habit of licking maple syrup off of maple trees and farmers have reported missing maple barrels every winter, suggesting that the Cabils love maple syrup.

THE SOUTHERN TROPICAL CABIL

  • The southern tropical Cabil exists in large groups, called clans. These
  • They eat small tropical birds that they can catch. They also eat leaves found on many tropical plants.
  • Some clans have developed the ability to crack open coconuts.
  • Their range extends from lower Georgia all the way to Florida. Some have even been sighted in the Caribbean.
  • They often have darker browner fur

THIS IS AN EXAPLE OF A CLAN OF SOUTHERN CABILS.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE MANY OF THEM, AND THEY HAVE DARKER FUR.

The reason that these species, the Cabils, are very rarely seen and small in number is that every year, they are mistaken for fennec foxes and are poached as pets. This rarely ends well for the Cabil, as it hates captivity.
