The Acara is a species of Neopet that loves to live by the sea. They are amphibious - they can breath in water or on land - although having fur like mammals. They have two horn-like protrusions on their heads that allow them to hear well underwater, and their thick coat of fur keeps them warm.

Its name may come from two species of cichlids - a family of freshwater fish - the blue acara and the zebra acara.

Acaras are typically fantastic swimmers who enjoy diving for treasure. In the Neopets Trading Card Game, they are associated with the element of water.

The Acara was originally introduced as the Tigren on 28 April 2000. It was renamed to the Acara on 19 July, at the same time the Polypup became the Gelert, and it was at this point that its design received the 'horns' brushed back over its head. The Tigren's formerly large, bushy tail also shrank considerably and may have even vanished altogether.

+The '''Acara''' is a species of [[Neopet]] that loves to live by the sea. They are [[wikipedia:Amphibians|amphibious]] - they can [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=1&id=170 breath in water or on land] - although having fur like [[wikipedia:mammals|mammals]]. They have two horn-like protrusions on their heads that allow them to hear well underwater, and their thick coat of fur keeps them warm.
-The '''Acara''' is a cat-like [[Neopet]] and has two horns on its head which drape backwards like ponytails.
+Its name may come from two species of [[wikipedia:cichlid|cichlid]]s - a family of freshwater fish - the [[wikipedia:blue acara|blue acara]] and the [[wikipedia:zebra acara|zebra acara]].
-==Overview==
+Acaras are typically fantastic swimmers who enjoy diving for treasure. In the [[Neopets Trading Card Game]], they are associated with the element of water.
-Acaras are amphibious and can breathe underwater, and it is sometimes hinted that the "tentacles" somehow give the Acara the ability to echolocate when submerged in water. The tentacles may imply that the Acara was based on ''Capricorn''. In general, they tend to be very playful and enjoy exploring, racing, and looking for hidden treasure under the sea.
-As their huge eyes might suggest, Acaras are known for being highly inquisitive and curious creatures. They take a great joy in coming upon secrets and hidden things, and quite a few have distinguished themselves as very talented treasure-seekers. Some condemn Acaras for being nosey, and it is true that they tend to ask a few too many questions -- but there is no ill will behind those questions, just a genuine desire to learn.
+==Old designs==
+[[Image:Tigren green baby.gif|left|frame|The Tigren.]]
-Since they are equally at home on land or underwater, Acaras prefer to live along the coast.

-==Tigren==
+{{species}}
-When first introduced on the Neopets website on April 28, 2000, the pet now known as the Acara was an otter-like Neopet called the '''Tigren'''. They were chosen from a player's design as part of a Create-A-Pet contest. The name was changed on July 19 for reasons unknown, along with the '''Polypup''''s change to the [[Gelert]]. The news page of the time touted the change as "evolution", in keeping with the PokÃ©mon-like feel that the pets originally had.
-==Trivia==
-*As of August 2007, Acaras rank 9th out of 53 Neopets, with about 5 million in existence.
-*''Acara Day'' is on June 28th.
-*In the [[Neopets TCG]], Acaras are associated with the element of [[Water Faerie|water]].
