Artist's Comments

for :iconmrsfroqueen: 's contest. To make a new species of animal. This is a Russian Snyezhiny which means "Snowy" in Russian.
The common Russian Snyezhiny is usually mellow, and found in the coldest regions of the world. They are omnivores although they have hooves. Humans are their only natural predators but cause of their huge average size of 8ft tall. They used to but hunted for their various tinted hides until 1908, when most of the world believed they were extinct. This was false. They are now wild and domesticated and are valued as riding animals. After the spines are de-budded, they are safe to ride.
They are very protective of mates and offspring. The male (shown above) usually has to cover his mate with his own body because for some reason females have less fur then males do. The same goes for babys. These animals travel in herds, and usually live 90-130 years.
