I typed up this really cool paragraph about the new species of animals that was created above. However, the friday power outage lost it. I will type it up again later, but for now I'll just tell you that it's a mutation created in a laboratory between a dog, a lion, and an eagle.


EDIT: This mutation between a dog, a lion, and an eagle was created in 1948 by scientists who believed that this mutation would allow for easier and greener transport for humans. They started the experiment to create this new species in 1912, and made hundreds upon thousands of failed creatures. The last test was successful and two deons were created; a male and a female. The male was a cross between an australian shepherd, a golden eagle, and an african lion. He stood at 50 cm at the curve of his shoulder and weighed only about 16 pounds. His coat had the markings of an australian shepherd and the feathery coat of an eagle. His paws were the size and shape of a lion with talons. His tail was in the shape of an african lion's. The female was a bit smaller and stood at 45 cm and weighed only 12 pounds. She was a cross between a brown lab, a bald eagle, and an african lion. Her coat was brown with the markings of a bald eagle. Her paws were in the shape of a dog with no talons. Her tail was also in the shape of an african lion's. Two weeks after being created, both Deons escaped. They successfully breeded and the species spread to forested areas throughout the world. Their diet consists mostly of fish. However, they have been known to eat sheep as well. Their lifespan ranges from 10-30 years and the litters consist of 3-5 pets. Although they were created for transport, there is no documentation of any human ever having ridden a Deon.
