Strider Fuzzcoat

The Strider Fuzzcoat split from its ancestor the Fuzzcoat. It has adapted to the grasslands and has a tall thin body plan perfect for sprinting. This helps it escape any predators. They are also now completely herbivorous. Like their ancestor they have a thin coat of cotton-like fuzz all over their bodies. This helps insulate their bodies from both the cold and warm. They use their tongue-trunks to pick off leaves of the flora that they eat. They are a bit skittish and are always looking around for predators. If there is a predator nearby they make a hooting sound they make from their butt-nostril and run. The rest of the herd follows. The mate once a year in the fall. During the gestation period, which lasts for approximately 5 months. Males and females pair up until the babies are born. The males help bring extra food to the female during this period. After the babies are born they take turns getting food and watching the babies. They have 3 to 4 babies at a time. The babies grow quickly and they join the herd within a month or two. Sadly not all offspring reach adulthood.
