Anthropomorphic Animals

Animals on Xavian’s planet have evolved differently than on Planet Earth. Their planet has come out of an Ice Age and, certain animals’ have evolved with unique features such as more hair on their bodies, larger in size, and the ability to walk upright. Certain species that we are accustomed to walking on four legs have evolved to walk on two legs. For example, the lion species have a 10% chance to walk on two legs. That’s how Xavian can walk upright. Biologists are still researching where this mutation originated from and what an animal’s chances of walking upright. The total percentage of animals that can walk upright is around 25%. This phenomenon has shaped how animals function as a society from the infrastructure, businesses, food, etc.

Giraffe

At first glance, the Giraffe looks very similar to the ones on Planet Earth. However, I designed the Giraffe to have some features from its distant relative, the Samotherium major. I drew the two sets of ossicones, the bony bumps on its head rather than the single set we see on modern giraffes. I made the back ossicones larger and shaped them closely like antlers. The neck is noticeably thicker in diameter. I added thick red fur that starts at the top of the head down to its back.

Woolly Mammoth

The Woolly Mammoth takes the place of the modern African Elephants we see in the wild. I decided to swap their ear size with the African Elephant's. The fur on its skin is a light brown color with, the tip of the tail having a darker color. The Mammoths can live over 175 years old and are considered the most intelligent and wisest animals. The old saying goes, "If you are ever lost and can't find your way in life, look towards the Mammoth."

Lion

The male and female lions have dark brown strips around their body and face. The female lions can grow long brown hair from the top of their heads. In their community, the longer the hair on the females is, the more attractive they are. Lions are the most social, goofiest, and charismatic animals on the planet. Despite their child-like personality, when a situation needs to resolve, the leadership of the lion is unmatched.
