Yuambra

The Yaumbra ("You home, bro" with all audible vowels changed to ah) is the most common large mammel in the Central region.

Anatomy
Yuambra are large quadrupedalmammels with uncloved feet. The skin of their pads can be two inches thick in rocky areas -it grows like callouses.They have extremely long brown fur and tusks that can grow over six feet long (in males).

Their back makes a 45 degree angle, with short, sturdy back legs and hardy shoulders. This is a result of thousands of years of breeding to get their uniquely large tusks, which take enourmous neck strength to hold. The sholderblades also act as a rest in males, whose tusks are considerably larger. Females use their tusks as defense, while males serve no purpose than to benifit farmers.

Gestation
Pregnancy usually lasts 22 to 30 months. Although in most cases, this would make them undesirable for breeding, it is worth the number of 'kids.' Ten to eighteen is average, with singular births only arising from extreme stress. The kids are very small ("12, 8") but grow quickly.

Both males and females have six teats. Females produce milk at birth, with males after three weeks. It takes the kids trying to suck for a varying period of time before feeding.

Senses
Yaumbra are nearly blind, only able to see black and white masses. Their herders did not realize this until recently, as their sense of smell is so advanced. It is thought that they can recogize the scent of any one of their herds from 300 meters away.

Domestication
These animals are highly prized for their milk. It is fatty, with a faint sweetness that developes more when boiled. If water is near, pairs will support enough to feed three families. Often times, a normal litter will be halved when villagers are celebrating or have givn birth, so that more can be spared for festivities.

Their tusks serve very little purpose in the wild. Undomesticated breeds' never grow more than six inches. They are sawed to the lip annually to prevent injury to the animal and create valued weapons and other goods.
