Just replace the existing raw entries with these, and your next generated world will have lions and mountain goats with facial hair

Yes, I am aware that adding facial hair to animals is silly, but its dwarf fortress after all - facial hair matters.

[Deon]

I have manes for lions in Genesis, but I forgot about goat beards. Thank you .

[veok]

And what about walrus whiskers?

[Caldfir]

LOTS of things need whiskers lol

also, for added fun, any animal with hair or beard stylings will inherit styles from its parent civ - during testing I at one point had goats with "beards arranged in double-braids" as did all of my male dwarves
