the coat is reddish tan in the summer, changing to a dull gray in the winter. long wavy guard hairs are present on and coat throughout the year, with the coat becoming woolier in winter. there is a mane on the neck and throat and a black dorsal stripe running along the cervicothoracic spine. the tail is about in length, with a dark tuft at the end. the hooves are large and spreading, and make clicking sounds (as in the reindeer) when the animal is moving.
