Animals of Stafcord

Stafcord is a very large province of Siere, bordering the Zenith Mountains to it’s entire west, Athens to it’s south, and the near Arctic to its north. The province is so big it has so many different climates and biomes throughout, such as dry, arid deserts to the ultimate south, boreal forest covering 92% of the province, and mountains straddling the Tolwick border. This has many opportunities for more animals. 
== Zenith Mountains ==
Ungulates like mule deer, white-tailed deer, bison, big horned sheep, mountain goats, wapiti, chamois and whistler and greater moose are common in the Zenith Mountains and regions below the tree-line of it. Birds like the black-billed magpie, trumpeter swan, blue jays, northern cardinals, black-backed woodpeckers, white-throated sparrows, common crows, common ravens, wild turkeys, pine grosbeaks, and songbirds are present in the mountains. Rodents like collared pikas, common pikas, deer mice, bushy-tailed wood rats, harvest mice, island marmots, beavers, groundhogs and house mice present in the mountainous regions. The rest include red foxes, raccoons, black bears, red foxes, gray wolves, fox squirrels and mountain cats which are seemingly more elusive.
== The Relchacat Desert ==
Located at the most southernmost point of Stafcord, straddling the border line of Athens and Stafcord lies the arid but temperate Relchacat Desert which houses creatures like mule deer, bighorn sheep, pronghorn, red foxes, coyotes, prairie falcon, jackrabbits, wood rats, prairie rattlesnakes, short-horned lizards, and bison. Former species include the black bears, wild turkeys, raccoons, and gray wolves which escaped the drought aridity of the desert to humid and cooler areas north and west. 
== Skrikendi Forests (Northern Stafcord Forests) ==
The northern forests are not much different then the Zenith Mountain boreal woodlands except they are much colder noting that they are pointing near the Arctic Circle. Animals found here include mountain goats, black bears, greater moose, whistler moose, mule deer, sandhill cranes, marmots, willow ptarmigans, sandpipers, warblers and red foxes. 
== The East Coast ==
The East Coast of Stafcord runs throughout a moderate oceanic climate. It is not as cold there as you would think, no matter how north it is compared to other Siere provinces. This applies to more animals that like to stay near coastlines. Animals like humpback whales, porpoises, harbour seals, gray whales, sockeye salmon, mule deer, black bears, raccoons, island marmots, sand pipers and bald eagles thrive throughout the coastlines.
