The '''Acara''' is a [[wikipedia:cat|cat]]-like aquatic [[Neopet]] that lives mainly on the beach and is able to breathe underwater. Their thick fur is used to keep them warm in the depths of the sea.
The '''Acara''', originally introduced as the ''Tigren'', is a species of [[Neopet]] that loves to live by the sea. Able to breath underwater, Acaras are just as happy on land as they are in the ocean. Acaras are fantastic swimmers and posses a thick coat of fur that helps keep them warm in the depths of the sea. They also have two horn-like protrusions on their heads that allow them to hear underwater.  As a general rule, Acaras are very playful and love to explore. They especially enjoy diving for hidden treasure and playing [[Gormball]] on the beach.
 
==Overview==
Acaras are [[wikipedia:Amphibians|amphibious]] and can breathe underwater, and it is sometimes hinted that the horns somehow give the Acara the ability to [[wikipedia:Animal echolocation|echolocate]] when in water. As a general rule Acaras are fantastic swimmers that are just as happy on land as they are underwater. Their thick fur keeps them warm when diving to the depths of the ocean. They are a playful bunch that live by the sea. Their favorite pastimes are diving for hidden treasures off the coastline and playing Gormball on the beach.
 
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.


Originally, they were [[Limited Edition|limited edition]] but have now become common.
