Description

-Horn Style

They closely resemble the horns of the African Black Buck or Gazelle and are curved straight back from behind the ears. The Moto never have more then one set of horns, one set being two.

-Average Coats for Moto -
The color of the coat of a Moto, generally express the element in which they reign over, in this case, fire. Colors vary from a dappled black, as if ashes cover their bodies, to a fiery orange like the tongues of flames themselves. Stripes in certain areas are uncommon, but aren't impossible. If they are present, they are very thick and blotchy, and not nearly as numerous as a general tiger's. The largest number of stripes that a Moto has been seen with would be ten, a very rare feat.

Not only is the coloration unique, but the length as well is also an interesting factor. The coat of a Moto is very short and course, and the individual strands are very light and in order to keep the body cool in the very hot and arid environment. In relation to the environment, males never have full manes, seeing as it would cause them to overheat to easily and prove potentially fatal, so in this case, they are very short and resemble what many would call a mohawlk running from the base of their spine and tufting out between their ears. It isn't thick, but enough to show the testosterone flowing through that individual. Elbow tufts are also present in these males, which consist of the same material as the mane, except in this instance it is thicker. They were specially evolved for these cats in order to help cushion sensitive joints on the unforgiving terrain.

Females on the other hand closely resemble the cats of the African plains, with a lean body and a thin, sleek coat. Their body is built especially for this ground, with wide paws and a long gate they are perfect to hunt and stalk on the rugged earth. One difference however, is similar to the dog breed, the rhodesian ridgeback, they have a very narrow curve of fur that runs directly atop their spine all the way to between their ears.

-Eyes-
The Moto eyes are in every aspect cat like, seeing as their pupil is very narrow and slitted, almost in some aspects resembling a reptile. They do come in a variety of colors as well as variations of those colors, similar to humans, however the most common and recognizable is a dirty golden coloration. The Moto's eyes are well in daylight, but are extremely well at night, seeing as it's most common for them to hunt at that time. The pupils extend and retract similar to humans with the different intake of light.

Large pupil - night
Thin and narrow - day

-Average Weight and Height-
Moto are generally a small breed, not exceeding 350lbs for both genders. Of course Males are larger then the females, and have a thicker frame, so out of the two, they weigh more. A lower body mass is desired in these areas because of how hot it is, meaning the bigger the body, the more energy it takes to cool, and energy is a necessity when hunting out in the lands.
Height is also an important aspect to the Moto, as in relation to their weight, their size is generally small as well. Length of their body doesn't often exceed 7'ft, and shoulder length is about 4'ft. There have been some exceptions, but those are very few. Short shrubbery and little cover is what has brought these cats to be smaller, but they manage to get through just fine.

Male General Weight - 320-350lbs
Female General Weight - 310 - 330lbs

Male General Length and Height- 5'9'' - 7'' / 3'7'' - 4''
Female General Lenght and Height - 5'1'' - 6'3'' / 3'2'' - 3'7''
