These creatures are hexapedes (Sexcruscervus caeruleus). They are six legged deer, usually with black and yellow eyes and blue or purple skin. They eat tree bark and berries mostly. As prey animals, they're not particularly fast, but rely on high maneuverability to avoid predators. They are particularly vulnerable when feeding because of their diet of bark, which is in the forests. And being in the forest, they often find themselves with less room to weave and bob their way from predators. Photo by Bonnie Fink.
