[ yeah!! we all just wear horse blinders. the meerkats scurry off and shoma kind of waves goodbye to them even while he's looking at this picture. cute...again, this is endearing. ]

Well, we can start with these guys. They're called meerkats. They're a kind of mongoose, carnivorous animals. They're pretty social animals, so you're likely to find them in groups more often than you'd find them alone. [ we don't have to worry about the tesseract yet!! it's all vibes and shoma who just knows these things. ] The animals in Teyvat must be a little different. And Sidon's domain is underwater so it makes sense he wouldn't be as familiar with stuff on land.

[ also he's just happy to talk about animals that aren't rats. ]
