Pinnarum Connochaetes (Feathered Wildebeest)

Here's the Final!....FINALLY! I call it simply Pinnarum Connochaetes or Feathered Wildebeest. I don't really have a story for this except this is a Prehistoric Mammal from the Pleistocene Epoch 11,000 to 14,000 years ago from the Middle to Southern African Grasslands.  Colorful plumage were found in fossil records and were probably shed when the climate began to change to a warmer more arid one. Males were most likely to have the more colorful plumage like most modern Avian's.  In conjunction with the horns these were an integral aspect for the bulls in fighting, mating and control of the herd. These Feathered Wildebeests were 7-9 ft. from the shoulders and fed on grasses and shrubs.
