Ugly Animal

This is a Woodland Caribou  from Northern Ontario. I took the picture.



This noble beast was licking minerals off the fire pit where I burned trash the previous night.

Now, the Hartebeest is pretty homely in person (these are the animals mostly eaten by crocodiles on the Critter Channel). The Tasmainian Devil is no beauty queen. I think the wolverine is an ugly cuss, too (no offense to the State of Michigan or U of M - damn thing is unpleasant looking. Sorry. ).

Hoof for hoof though, these mangy Woodland Caribou are nasty in full fur (mangy) and just unpleasant in summer slicks.

I'm going to write a character who is this ugly.
