the giant loprax is a lagohyraxian which took the niche of a large grazing herbivore, not unlike the wooly rhino. they could top in upwards of 900 pounds, making them the largest hyraxes as of this post. they live in small herds of up to 13 individuals and get their name due to their slight resemblance to a lop-eared bunny. this species also has a relationship with another, unexpected species of hyrax.
a species of small, gracile rhinohyracian known for its speed and agility known as a cervine hyrelephant. why are these 2 animals almost always seen together, you ask? well, its because both species benifit from eachother's presence. the loprax protects the hyrelephant from smaller predators, and the warning cries of the hyrelephant help the loprax know if there are predators nearby.
what predator would even bother to hunt such a massive beast? well, a certain euhyrailurian with gigantic puncturing tusks...
