Jones called the new species "Cattalo." The cattalo took the hardiness of the buffalo, and never required artificial food or shelter.

He would face the desert storm or blizzard and stand stock still in his tracks until the weather cleared.

The folds of his stomach were so numerous that they digested even the hardest and flintiest of corn.
