I found it! I used the seed "Jungleeez" to get a jungle right at spawn.

Here it is:

I found a raw chicken and feather near one... do they eat chickens like wolves eat sheep?

I'm still trying to figure out how to tame it.

That is so cool! I may have to download it to see it

I just wish they could add content without breaking the server But I guess thats what we get for using plugins.

Tamed! But mine is stuck. It won't follow me.
Also, feeding it more

raw fish

will make hearts appear for quite a while, so it looks like these can be bred too!

Wiki confirms, they will occasionally hunt chickens.

If this is related to the patch, there's other fun changes as well (unless it's a future patch), like being able to breed your wolves and being able to climb up the vines like ladders. I think he was also considering putting in a monkey mob in the future, but I don't know if this new mob was put in instead or if it's still something new he's working on.
