In Biology class, we had to complete an assignment called The Taxonomy Project. We, as biologists, had to pretend that we had discovered a new species of animal.
The catch was that this made-up animal had to be related to an already existing animal. Our creature would have a few variations in order to classify it as a new species.

I chose the Greater Kudu (a species of antelope) as my root animal and made a few modifications.

Greater Kudus normally have two spiraled horns angled backwards, but my creature has one horn spiraling out from the center of the forehead.
Greater Kudus also have short tails (like deer), but my creature has a long lion-like tail.
The end result: a Greater Kudu Unicorn. Of course, I called it something else and gave it a scientific name, but it's been so long that I can't remember.

I'm so bummed! I have a colored version of this picture, but I turned it in along with the rest of my Taxonomy Project. When I went to retrieve it, my teacher said she didn't know where the projects had gotten off to (it was at the end of the year and the janitor had put them somewhere safe, somewhere she didn't know of).

So regrettably, the colored version has been lost... I would be eternally thankful if a fellow deviant would like to color it for me, using the natural colors of the Greater Kudu as reference. I miss that drawing so much! *sobs miserably*

Drawn mid March 2006.
