I like the idea but i think that an ornamentation design similar to that of the extinct megaloceros, sinomegaceros or even the sivatherium would be more practical in terms of defense

what about sivatherium, which is basically half deer half giraffe?

一旦雨止んで川の水位も下がってきたので帰宅しました。ご心配いただいた皆様、有難うございました。

 

シヴァ神といえば暴風の神様ルドラとも関連するので、ちょっと悪い意味でタイムリーだった😢

Happy World Giraffe Day! To celebrate let's check out one of the oddest members of the Giraffe family, Sivatherium. This animal lived in Africa and the Indian subcontinent and first appeared around the late Miocene (~7 MYA), but might have only gone extinct 8,000 years ago.

Ever heard anyone say “The Lion King” can take place in any period in history?

I call such lion 💩. You don’t see any prehistoric or recently-extinct animals amongst those that still exist today, the Atlas bear, quagga, sivatherium, or aurochs for example.

But that’s just me.😛
