Seems to be a different pet depending on something -- Race or first chosen pet?

My first hunter was a Blood Elf that tamed a Boar(which ended up with a bat) while my second was an Orc who tamed a Hawk(which ended up with a wolf).

Description

Quite the surprise to find this beast so hale and hearty. It seems to have taken a liking to you. If you're ever going to be as great as one of the Dawntrackers, you must learn how to handle multiple pets. Allow me to show you how.
