@Felthry This is a good way to go!
Apparently naturalists have observed coatis and crows working as partners, crows being good at spotting corpses worth scavenging and giving an alarm in case trouble came up, and coatis bringing the ability to open up carcasses and scatter food around.
So anyway I can imagine an AU Austin with crow wings, is the thing.
(There's a similar team-up between wolves and ravens that I believe is more strongly observed.)
@Felthry we're interested, but we don't recognize the -cyonid part...
