Horn Folk range: West Siberian Taiga (Ecoregion PA0611)

The Horn folk (Rubraceros Sapiens) is species of new world deer and is the only species in the tribe Cerverectini. They're distinct from other deers because of their bipedalism and quasi-hands. The species is endemic to the West Siberian Taiga, where it has lived for at least 100,000 years and has become well adapted to the harsh climate, although horn folk occur in both migratory and sedentary populations.

Horn folk are short-limbed, have a small, rounded head and a robust build. Their body is coated with a thick rust-colored fur which contributes to the short-limbed appearance. They also have crimson-colored hair which varies greatly in size and a ringed tail. Both males and females develop large antlers by early-mid spring, retaining them up until winter.

Description

Horn folk males stand around 165 cm (5 ft 5 in) and females 153 cm (5 ft 0 in) tall with a 75–95 cm (30–37 in) tail, strangely going against allen's rule, although it's length probably helps with balancing. Horn folk weight an average of 80 kg (180 lb) for males and 66 kg (146 lb) for females. Most adult horn folk have flat, palmate ("open-hand shaped") antlers; much like mooses; coming out of their upper forehead and curving back above the head. Their skulls have a short and wide facial region and a voluminous braincase averaging about 1,450 cm3. The dentition—38 teeth with the dental formula:3.1.4.23.1.3.2—is adapted to their omnivorous diet, capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material.

Horn folk have an area of black fur around the eyes, which blends with the surrounding rust coloring, assisting with camouflage. This dark mask may also reduce glare and thus enhance night vision, enabling individuals to be active during the mostly dark day.
