The Yale is a strange creature the size of a horse with the tusks of a boar, a goatlike body, and extremely long, goatlike horns which it could move in any direction to meet attacks. The Yale is usually depicted with one horn pointing forward, the other back. It has a mane, a tufted spine, a tufted tail, and cloven hooves. It is a symbol of preparedness and readiness.
