Carant

Basic Information

Anatomy

Carant are four-legged animals characterized by a small stature, a pair of horns, and six sensory organs that extrude from their shoulders, with an average specimen will stand just over three feet tall and about 110lbs. The sensory organs, typically referred to as carant wings, are primarily used to sense vibrations in the air, allowing for particularly precise hearing.

Genetics and Reproduction

Carant reproduce sexually, with a male and female partner. Once the female is fertilized, she will gestate for five months, and give live birth to a litter of two kids. The kids are helpless at birth, and must drink milk from the mother for another two month before they begin to graze. Within six months, the kids are near full size and independent.

Uses, Products & Exploitation

Carant are commonly used as livestock animals, with their primary purpose being the production of meat, skin, and milk. A carant can produce about 1,200lbs of milk in a year, and are typically milked for four years before being slaughtered. Once slaughtered, a carant provides around 50lbs of meat, depending on it's size and weight, and typically about a meter cubed of useable skin, as well as a number of horns, hooves, smaller bits of skin, and offal. Carant are also used in a number of other roles such as work animals, but are significantly less efficient than animals bred for the purpose.
