Bio: Ox deer are large, herd-dwelling, musk ox-like species of deer native to Exotic Island. They are descendants of mule deer and white-tailed deer that were brought to Exotic Island and interbred with each other, forming a new species. They became larger than their ancestors due to the nuclear radiation and spread to the arctic and tundra regions of the island. They are now found throughout the glaciers, boreal forests, icy plains, snowy mountains, taiga forests, lowlands, boreal birch forests, icy deserts, snowy fields, arctic and tundra regions of Exotic Island. Their ancestors also managed to survive the nuclear radiation and almost became more musk oxen-like than their ancestors. They are now larger than their ancestors, about the size of an American bison due to many predators around. They also use their large antlers to plow through the snow in search of food and would sometimes migrate to search for new feeding grounds and calving seasons. They now have thicker fur in order to protect themselves against the freezing temperatures. These large deer are known to be aggressive and fight off predators in order to protect their herds at all costs. Ox deer are social animals, living in large herds up to hundreds to thousands due to many predators around. Herds are led by aggressive and dominant bulls that protects the herds from predators. Despite their large size, they are preyed upon by many predators, including Monoceratosaurus, saber-toothed lions, bronze wolves, saber-toothed dholes, predatory birds, etc.
