Twilight Deer

Twilight deer (Cervi crepusculum) is a species of deer that lives in the Flaming Forest, roughly in the middle to west of the country. It's named after its ability to nearly turn invisible at twilight, via the shimmer of their beautiful coat on the background of the sun's dying rays.
== Appearance ==
The twilight deer normally has an orange-reddish coat, which sheds in spring, but keeps its consistency year-round. Males typically have antlers that are noticeably bigger than any doe's, with the biggest reaching up to 15 inches above the top of the head. When it comes to height, the twilight deer are unique, in that the males and females are both 1.6-2 sextants tall. Though a male's antlers are usually between 2-3.5 sextants tall, while a female's are usually between 1-2.4 sextants tall. Their antlers have evolved to be extremely sharp and pointy.
== Reproduction ==
The mating season for the twilight deer runs from January to April, as the twilight deer retreat into the tropics and find a mate, usually via winning fights against nearby competitors on the trip. Twilight deer start reproducing around the age of 3, and it takes 4 months for them to be born.
== Behavior ==
Twilight deer have learned through generations to use their antlers to make shish kebabs with berries, and with their mother or mate, lick them off. Various species of bears like to dine on the cuisine of twilight deer meat, but the deer have learned to be stealthy around such predators. Families stick together until the young reaches the age of 3 and heads off alone to find a mate to start a family with. While the young head off, the parents may begin to raise a new batch. While males do fight for mates, outside of this, they're mostly a peaceful species, and these fights are usually not to the death. 
== Habitat and Distribution ==
Twilight deer are mainly found in the Flaming Forest, in the middle to western areas of the DSRR. During the winter however, they move towards the northern tropical areas to seek warmer shelter, sometimes staying in the northern forested areas. While they can survive cold temperatures, they find it favorable to migrate so that pregnant females are in a better environment. While most sightings are during the day, the sightings at twilight are legendary, and give the twilight deer its identity to the humans surrounding it.Category:Flora and Fauna
