Bekantan Animal

The Bekantan is a mammal that lives in Mangrove Forests and/or Jungles. It has reddish-orange fur and a grey underbelly. The faces of it's babies are blue until they grow to adulthood. The Bekantan would mainly eat fruit, but it could also eat flowers, seeds, and insects.

    Bekantans would be able to hold items. They may spawn with explorer items like compasses, spyglasses, and maps (possibly to Jungle Temples) in their hands. They would rotate the items in their hands, bang these items on blocks, and try eating them (their noses would lift up like witches).
