The males are smaller and brightly colored, which favors them well in wooing mates and fighting off rivals. The females are much larger, with duller coats that provide excellent camouflage in their jungle environment. A male courts a female with songs, dances, and elaborate gifts. Should a mating bond form, the male kicks back to enjoy his new role as flashy trophy husband, and takes care of the pups while the female goes out to hunt.
Ahuizotl (the individual), as the last member of his species, is unfortunately tasked with both hunting for and nurturing his pup, but he doesn't seem to mind so much.
sidenote: Ahuizotl (the individual) has a BIG STUPID HEAD and figuring out how to draw it is some bullshit

Oh my goodness, what a precious little pup! I especially love his tiny little fangs! And once again, marvelous work on the biology for Ahuizotl's species. It's very reminiscent of peacocks, in that the males have bright, flashy coats to attract females, while the females have dull brown coats to camouflage themselves and their eggs from predators. I can't wait to see more of the father-son duo! <3

Ahuizotl's head for sure. Anthro Pan is just a furry with a giraffe neck.

I remember reading Ahuizotl's character designer put his eyes where his nostrils should go on a whim. :>

Also, I really hope you explain Ahuizotl’s screwy eye position, that always left me with a bunch of question marks over my head. I imagine it’s an aspect lifted from the original mythological designs off which he’s based

Love it! Ngl though, it makes me a little sad how many of the MLP species you headcannon as being on the brink of extinction (Tirek, Discord, Sombra, and now Ahuizotl all being among the last of their kind).

This is both heartwarming and tearjerking at the same time, heartjerking, if you will.
