Bio: Mountalopes, also known as the mount bucks, are large, herd-dwelling species of antelopes native to Exotic Island. They are descendants of few populations of Tibetan antelopes that were brought to Exotic Island. These antelopes also managed to survive the nuclear radiation and became larger than their ancestors, about twice the size of a Roosevelt elk due to the nuclear radiation and evolved larger horns to protect themselves against predators. These antelopes are mostly found throughout the glaciers, icy deserts, alpine meadows, temperate grasslands, moorlands, snowy mountains, prairies, alpine grasslands, snowy plains, lowlands, temperate grasslands, rocky mountains, arctic and tundra regions of Exotic Island. In the colder regions, mountalopes are known for having thicker coats in order to protect themselves against the freezing temperatures. Mountalopes are social animals, living in large herds up to thousands due to many predators around. Herds are led by dominant bulls who protect the herds from predators. Mountalopes sometimes mix herds with other herbivores, including hadrosaurs and ceratopsians for protection against predators. These large antelopes tend to migrate to search for new feeding grounds and calving seasons. Mountalopes are preyed upon by many predators, including predatory dinosaurs, Ennedi tigers, bone jackals, bronze wolves, blue hyenas, predatory birds, etc.
