to help me get these out there and what not ^^
History~
To the far north of Canada there is a place almost untouched by mankind that place is called “Ellesmere Island” on this cold unforgiving land theres lives a strange breed of creature. this creature is called the Eastern Mountain Clydeer; (EMC or Clydeer for short). Clydeer have roamed the mountains and valleys of Ellesmere Island for many decades and have only recently been discovered. Clydeer are in fact related to the modern horse though it seems when they hit the Pliohippus stage the Clydeer for some reason adapted differently and became their own species.
What are Eastern Mountain Clydeer?~
These creatures are tall and built similar to that of a clydesdale, with a thick coat made to withstand even the harshest winters. their powerful legs and wide hooves help them run easily through the snow. the Clydeers used to have a more horse like tail but as decades passed it evolved into a more lion like tail to help them keep balance while climbing the mountains and running through deep snow. Clydeer’s use their thick elk like horns to fend off enemies and fight for territory.
Eastern Mountain Clydeer Characteristics?~
Clydeers are born stripeless and with small horn nubs but, they are full of spunk and ready to go! Foals are born with double coat, to keep them warm since they cant regulate their body temperature very well at that age but, as they grow older they will shed the undercoat. it can be hard to differ males from females when Clydeer are young, unless you get a good look at their eyes or parts. Female Clydeer have smaller horns than males and duller eye colors than males. Sometimes Clydeer have no horns, its highly uncommon. like their brethren the Horse, Clydeer are herbivores but, unlike horses they only need to eat and drink once every couple weeks.
