are a many different stories of the origin of the Fur-Bearing Trout,

Once plentiful, the Fur-Bearing Trout has been hunted almost into extinction.

extremely valuable on the black market. Because of the scarcity of this
fish, the actual origin may never be known but clearer minds believe
that the evolution of the fur was more out of survival than happenstance.
