Gender: Mare
Halter and Pearl Colours: None? She shouldn't need one, like she can sense the desires of the rider or be lead by the mane? I think something like that would suit her more than a Halter
Favourite Place: I was not sure if these were my favorite things or her's but either way, my favorite place that i have ever been is Rome, Italy.(Images: X, X, X; Hope its ok to have more than 1, theres no way I could capture the feeling of this place with just 1) While It is a bustling city, its one you feel almost at home with, it filled me with welcoming and warm feelings despite being somewhere completely foreign to me. The reason i loved it so much could be for no other reason than the history associated with such a beautiful place. The ancient architecture of buildings like the Colosseum is absolutely breathtaking, the whole city has an ancient vibe to it and I'd like to think that a Khim like this would find a deep appreciation for such a place as well, even if its busy and crowded with people.
Aquatic Animal: Leatherback Sea Turtle - X
The largest and most adaptive of the Sea Turtles is a gentle giant that reaches up to 7ft and 2,000lbs! Thats one big turtle! They are found in all oceans except the Arctic and Antarctic. They also undertake one of the longest migrations between breeding and feeding areas of any sea turtle, averaging 3,700 miles each way! Talk about a dedicated Mother!
Rainforest Animal: Okapi - X
This rainforest dwelling cousin of the giraffe was once a creature of legend, completely undiscovered until the 1900's. They have stripes that resemble that of a zebra on the hind quarters and long black tongues similar to a giraffes. Despite these creatures being loners though they have scent glands on the bottom of their feet that allow them to keep track of their okapi neighbors and mark their territory. Isn't that neat! I've had a mild obsession with these dorky creatures from a very young age!
Desert Animal: Arabain (Dromedary) Camel - X
Camels have always been a favorite of mine, perhaps its the way they look? is it not a little derpy? Anyways, although this a very common animal to associate with deserts its my favorite nonetheless. Their humps can store up to 80lbs of fat, allowing them to travel over 100 miles across the desert without water. However, a very thirsty animal can drink 30 gallons of water in only 13 minutes! I once fed a camel a carrot at a petting zoo, theirs lips feel very funny!
Grassland Animal: White Rhino - X
This animal is practically a living tank, how isn't that cool? I've always though rhinos were super cool, but not just cause they're cute and dorky but because of how they got their name. Its theorized that the name "white rhinoceros" is a mistranslation from Dutch to English. The English word "white" is said to have been derived by mistranslation of the Dutch word "wijd", which means "wide" in English and referred to the animals wide square lips. I happen to be of dutch heritage and think that's just a hoot of back story.
Woodland Animal: Moose - X
Moose! oh how do they look both majestic and dorky at the same time?! It has to be that big ol nose of theirs, too cute! I feel like this is another under appreciated North American animal, one that I've glimpsed here and there in my back yard. They truly are breath taking animals if you ever get to see this large member of the deer family up close.
Tundra Animal: Caribou - X
Is there a theme here? or is it just me that thinks all my favorite animals have a dorky look to em? Anyways, these are what some people call reindeer and as every animal obsessed young girl who believed in Santa Claus they were the bees knees! I was, once again, obsessed with these creatures of the icy north and still am today. Did you know Caribou are the only deer in which male and females both have antlers; though only some females have them.
