like i've stated before, i have lots of imaginary critters living in my head. this is a member of one of those species. they're called Ore (pronounced OH-reh) and they live pretty much anywhere horses or big cats could. they're kind of like a mixture of horse and lion, physically and sociologically.

Ore are omnivorous like bears, but are opportunistic hunters. for this reason they are generally very dull in coloration, usually with darker mottling or stripes - as we can catch of a glimpse of on her. however, every once in a while an Ore may be born who is piebald - with areas of fur and skin that are devoid of pigmentation. this female - while beautiful - may have a more difficult life for her coloration. it will be difficult for her to participate in hunts when she stands out so drastically against the background.

. . . and this is the kind of stuff i think about all day. i blame Planet Earth
