{{cleanup}}

An '''Equitaur''' is a form of creature and species of taur similar to a classical [[Centaur]]: It has a lower body that is wholly equine and a humanoid upper body where the equine's neck and head would normally appear. An Equitaur differs from a classical Centaur by having an equine head.

Although the upper torso is of human shape, it is generally depicted as having the same fur and patternation as the equine portion of the body, in contrast to a classical Centaur with which the torso is furless. The mane may also run down the upper back. Also, because of their appearance, equitaurs are often depicted as more bestial than Centaurs in art and literature. In such works, equitaur stallions are normally shown to be strong and noble, and equitaur mares are often shown as coy, flirty but compassionate.

An Equitaur can produce both human and equine vocalisations (speech, and neighs/whinnys). They may possibly be considered slightly closer to a pure equine than Centaurs are.

Equitaurs are also referred to as "horsetaurs," or in the [[Chakat]] universe as "quanges," a term coined by the artist [[Roy D. Pounds II]].

== Equitaurs in fiction ==

In the episode "Quest for the Potion of Power" of the Nintendo-themed cartoon series [[W:Captain N|Captain N: The Game Master]], Captain N and his companions join forces with Link from The Legend of Zelda series and encounters the boss character Horsehead, who is depicted in the episode as a brown equitaur with a yellow Mohawk, mane, tail and goatee. In the game [[W:Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]], this character is normally depicted as just an anthropomorphic horse. He attacks the group after Link steals a jewel from his horde, and is defeated by Captain N.

In the anime series [[W:Ultimate Muscle|Ultimate Muscle]], the chess-themed wrestling character Checkmate is capable of transforming into a horse-headed centaur.

Equitaurs, referred to as "quanges," appear frequently in the Chakat universe, usually serving in the capacity of transport drivers, mechanics or other skilled laborers. One notable equitaur in the series is Carol, who owns and runs her own diner named The Gulp 'N' Gallop that specializes in serving equitaur clientele. She is joined by fellow equitaur Joe, who is the restaurant's head chef.

:''This topic is about the [[species]]. There is also a [[Squirrel (person)|person]] named Squirrel.''

[[File:Andoronzon_Unit_Rokki.jpg|right|thumb|[[Rokki]], a flying squirrel character from [[Andorozon]].]]
A '''squirrel''' is a small [[omnivorous]] [[rodent]], and are members of the [[W:amily (biology)|family]] '''Sciuridae''', a family that includes small or medium-size [[rodent]]s. The squirrel family includes [[tree squirrel]]s, [[ground squirrel]]s, [[chipmunk]]s, [[marmot]]s (including [[groundhogs]]), [[flying squirrel]]s, and [[prairie dog]]s amongst other rodents. Squirrels are indigenous to the Americas, Eurasia, and Africa, and were introduced by humans to Australia.

For many people, the type of squirrel that first comes to mind is a tree squirrel. Affectionately called "tree rats" by some in the [[furry fandom]] for their arboreal lifestyle, its most distinctive feature is its long, bushy [[tail]].

== Squirrels in mainstream media ==

Some examples from popular culture are [[Hammy]] from the movie [[Over The Hedge (film)|Over the Hedge]], [[Sandy Cheeks]] from ''SpongeBob SquarePants'', and [[Rocky]] from [[Rocky and Bullwinkle]]. Other characters include Scrat, who is a saber-toothed squirrel from the Ice Age movies. A few more include:

* Benny (''[[The Wild]]'')
* [[Conker|Conker the Squirrel]] (''[[Conker's Bad Fur Day]]'')
* Ray the Flying Squirrel (''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (series)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'')
* Secret Squirrel (''[[Secret Squirrel]]'')
* Nutty and Splendid (''[[Happy Tree Friends|Happy Tree Friends]]'')
* Penny (''[[Secret Squirrel|Super Secret Secret Squirrel]]'')
* Agent S, Pecan, Marshal (''[[Animal Crossing|Animal Crossing]]'')
* Rodney (''Squirrel Boy'')
* Scaredy Squirrel (''Scaredy Squirrel'')
* Twiss (''[[Armello]]'')
* Sidney Squirrel (''[[Silent sillies]]'')
* Slappy and Skippy Squirrel (''[[Animaniacs]]'')
* Surly Squirrel (''[[The Nut Job]]'')

== Squirrels and furry ==

A well-known example of a squirrel in the [[furry fandom]] is [[Eric W. Schwartz]]'s character [[Amy the Squirrel]].

[[File:Jackalopedustmeat.jpg|right|thumb|1970's female Jackalope. Art by [[Dustmeat]].]]
A '''Jackalope''' is a [[myth]]ical [[animal]] of [[W:North America|North American]] [[folklore]], described as a jackrabbit ([[hare]]) or [[rabbit]] with an [[antelope]]'s [[horn]]s or a [[deer]]'s [[antler]]s, sometimes a [[pheasant]]'s tail (and often [[W:Hindlimb|hind legs]]). The Wolpertinger is a similar animal, except that it has wings and tail of a pheasant and canine teeth with the tail of a [[squirrel]]. Another similar animal is the Rasselbock, which has the antlers of a roe deer.

==Media portrayal==

* A jackalope was the co-star of [[Pixar]]'s animated short film ''[[W:Boundin'|Boundin']]''.
* [[Jack Ching Bada Bing]] was a recurring jackalope character on the American TV show [[W:America's Funniest People|America's Funniest People]].
* [[Junior Jackalope]], a [[comic book]] character from the series of the same name.
* [[Jumpin’ Jackalope]] and [[Janey Jackalope]], the '''Merries''' protagonists in the comic book [[Rascal Raccoon's Raging Revenge]].
* Douglas, Wyoming has Jackalope statues including a furry mascot that has been seen in home videos and pictures.
* The PBS Kids show Odd Squad, the logo has a Jackalope holding a badge. Sometimes it makes funny sound effects.

Horn

[[File:Horned characters schirm casusbelli.png|right|thumb|275px|A curved horned [[gazelle]] and a horned [[rhinoceros]]. Art by [[Schirm|Marc "Schirm" Schirmeister]].]]
A '''horn''' is a pointed projection of skin on the head of various [[animal]]s consisting of a covering of [[W:keratin|keratin]] and other proteins surrounding a core of living [[W:Bone|bone]].

In the wild, horns are most commonly found on [[ungulate]]s. They are mostly used by males to compete with other males; females often lack horns for this reason. Both males and females in some species can have horns.

Horns are commonly made of keratin, a hard natural substance from which [[fur]] and [[claw]]s are also made. Most animals, grow continuously through an animal's life, sometimes in a continuous curve or curl, and are not shed. They also commonly occur in pairs.

Other animals, such as the [[rhinoceros]], possess one or two horns (depending on the species) on the upper surface of the snout. However, these horns are not true horns and lack a bony core so they can grow back if cut.

Bony horns are rare or unknown in the wild, but are commonly featured on [[dragon]]s, which may have one or more pairs.

The ear-tufts of [[owl]]s are sometimes called horns, but these are merely clumps of feathers that happen to be located on the top of the head.

In [[fursuits]], horns are often made out of plastic.

== Styles of horns ==

* '''Straight''': a simple, uncurved spike, seen in the [[unicorn]].
* '''Curved''': a horn with a small curvature in one direction. Seen in [[gazelle]]s and [[goat]]s.
* '''Curled''' or '''Spiral''': horns with strong curvature, such that they circle in a helix. Seen in [[sheep]], in which the horns curl round at the sides of the head to provide a hard, curved area to butt with; also in [[W:Impala|impala]], which grow the horns upward and outward in a long spiral.

=== Hornlike structures ===

* [[Antler]]s - A pair of bony, branching growths on the heads of [[deer]]. They are structurally dissimilar to horns, but their function is the same. Unlike horns, they are shed every year and regrown completely. The [[W:Pronghorn|pronghorn]] is unique in that it has horns, but sheds the [[W:Keratin|horny sheath]] each year, leaving a bony prong.
* Ossicones - Skin-covered bone structures on the heads in members of the family Giraffidae, such as the [[giraffe]] and [[okapi]]. Ossicones are distinguished from the superficially similar structures of horns and antlers by their unique development and a permanent covering of skin and fur.
* [[Tusk]]s - Elongated front teeth which resemble horns. The most well-known animal with tusks is the [[elephant]], but it occurs in other animals, including [[pig]]s, [[hippopotamus]]es, walruses, water [[deer]], muntjac, musk deer and the [[W:Narwhal|narwhal]].
