Description

A creature with horns and hooves from folklore The Alps, which lives only in the mountains. 

Since this animal is a mountain animal, its evolution has evolved towards shortening the legs on the one hand and lengthening on the other so that it can stand normally on steep slopes.

There are two types of Dahu — left-sided and right-sided. The first one has shorter legs on the left side, so he can only walk on the mountain counterclockwise. The right-hand side can only go around the mountain clockwise. It is believed that these two subspecies of dahu do not mix in nature, as they meet only face to face. If it still happened that they crossed, from this connection, the so-called "dead dahu" is born, having short legs not on one side of the body, but diagonally, that is, it is either a short front left and rear right, or front right and rear left.

It is believed that the locals joked about the visitors, involving them in the hunt for a "rare" and non-existent animal, forcing them to crawl for hours in an uncomfortable position in the mountains in the wind and freeze in ambush.
