Highland Proto Prowlers such as the glorious WF King adapt well to the onset of winter or even spring, they've evolved in order to survive the higher elevations. Big fluffy paws help keep traction on icy surfaces and prevent sinking in snow, King's coat helps him blend in to his surroundings while hunting prey and his short muzzle helps warm the air as he breathes it while his hooves help him navigate rougher terrain and are trimmed from the gravel and rocks. It is not unusual to see the lighter colored highland protos near frozen bodies of water, as they use snow to clean and dry their fur after all poorly kept wet fur is a bad heat insulator. The hunt is usually not difficult, as they have a variety of species to choose from; Both large and small.
