Plains Bonebasher

Plains Bonebashers are large species of Bonebashers that live in Northern Gondwana in Gondwana. They are part of the two species of Bonebashers, and is in fact, the largest.

Plains Bonebashers measure 2.0 - 2.6 meters tall at the shoulder, while their smaller relatives, the Gray Bonebashers, measure 1.4 - 1.9 meters at the shoulder. Plains Bonebashers also weighed around 2.5 tons, and an over 70 cm bony growth on its nose, the reasoning for its name “Bonebasher”. Even though the Bonebashers are defensive and sometimes aggressive, they are surprisingly intelligent. They have a brain the size of a watermelon and can remember things for a very long time, 35 years to be exact. Plains Bonebashers were also sexually dimorphic, with the females' bony growths being way smaller than the males’. Bonebashers can live for 80 years, and you can notice this if their bony growth is bigger than before.

Females Bonebashers were fiercely protective of their young. Even when their calves died, it would be impossible to say whether the mothers understood if their calves were dead. Like most animals, female Bonebashers had a very strong bond with their offspring, and would defend them for as long as they could. In 2031, Peter Summers, the man who discovered the Bonebasher species and a few other Gondwana animals, found a skull of the Plains Bonebasher and saw that they had fangs. Peter states the fangs weren’t as sharp as any predator’s, and were more used for ripping off amounts of leaves from bushes. Even though the bonebashers are very strong and are good for survival, scavengers like Red Sicklecats and predators like Gondwana Lions and Raboons are very important for survival for the Plains Bonebashers, so they always have to be prepared.
