Churr

Churr are ursine carnivorans used on Venus as beasts of burden, and also as steeds once astronauts introduced animal riding to Kartahown and surrounding natives. Unlike bears on Earth, they are far from being apex predators, which is a predicament shared with their Human users, and live in groups called "herds".
