Giant Porkephant - Final

Description

I think I've finalized this design and I'm very, very pleased with it!

Although porkephants look something like a giant rhinoceros, their nearest relatives on Earth are pigs. The 'horns' on the head, used to establish the senority of boars, are actually tusks, the upper canine and second incisor. The dark pattern on the skin helps the animal radiate heat, and the 'wattle' under the throat, reminiscent of a cassowary's, turns bright red during the mating season and can be inflated to attract the interest of females. Giant porkephants eat pretty well anything they feel like, from grasses up to entire trees, and range over vast areas looking for forage.
