So is Jin modeled off of an ostrich (his defensive stance really reminds me of a male ostrich protecting it's chicks)? Even though I don't know why, but for some reason I picture this lot being all African creatures (Jin an Ostrich, Atli a leopard, and Kande a african dog/ tan jackel)

Now since I love speculations, here is my theory, if in fact they are all in this world because they either a) died or b) killed someone, that would mean every carnivore that ever lived would be wondering this desolate place, so there has to be special requirements (I'm betting malicious killing, or revenge killing because an animal would understand it's a world of prey and hunter with everyone trying to survive.) My bet is Jin has committed this act of "malicious killing" and this is why his reflection is stained. While Atli on the other hand just died, for some reason I thinking maybe Atli's mother killed Jin's mate/children and this caused Jin to "revenge' kill her, thereby causing Atli to die due to a lack of an mother, and in an ironic sort of way Jin now has to take care of Atli in this new life. Well I look forward to seeing how the story actually turns out.
