The leafy pegasus is one of the rarest pegasus. Experts have tried to count these magnificent creature’s but the exact number is unknown, this is because they like to hide in the deepest, darkest woods. They are rarely seen outside their territory but nowadays scientists are getting worried because leafy pegasus’ are being spotted more and more. This is bad because they should stay in the forest where it is safe, but due to deforestation they have been forced out of their natural habitat.

Leafy pegasus’ live in the northern forest of Alaska. They like to build their nests on ground floor and travel in packs this is because it is safer and at least one pegasus can protect the young. They also like to forage around the floor for ferns or berries and occasionally the stray rotten leaf. Additionally, they drink water from the shallow rivers and sometimes climb short trees to get the freshest leaves. Unusually, they are fine around humans which is strange however they are known to bite humans or kick them when they feel threatened or to protect their young.

They are known to hold races for entertainment and the fastest becomes the leader. Other than that, they are very intelligent creatures and are known to use tools such as sticks to scrape mud of their hooves.

Leafy pegasus’ are extremely endangered once they roomed the whole of europe but now they are forced into hiding. And even now they are not safe this is because of deforestation. It is estimated that these creatures have about 75 square kilometres of rooming land before they get shot on sight. Now it might seem a lot but it is not. Leafy pegasus’ need at least 100 square kilometres to roam at the least and it is cruel to keep them contained with limited supplies. Studies show that the bravest pegasi venture out but are killed by humans for their wings. In 2015 the world’s governments agreed to make a sanctuary for the creatures, but sadly the plan did not take place. Please do not harm these creatures and help by donating money to charities who support saving endangered species and help preserve them for future generations.
