Bio: Lalomenas are large, herd-dwelling species of bovids native to Exotic Island. They are descendants of few populations of feral cattle, aurochs and zebus that were brought to Exotic Island and hybridized with each other, forming a new species. They grew larger than their ancestors due to the nuclear radiation. Their ancestors also managed to survive the nuclear radiation. They are found throughout the alpine meadows, steppes, marshlands, moorlands, temperate grasslands, temperate forests, lowlands, tropical grasslands, redwood forests, wetlands, scrublands, river valleys, wetlands, bamboo forests, savannas, alpine grasslands and floodplains of Exotic Island. Around 9 feet tall and 18 feet long, making them one of the largest bovids in Exotic Island. They resemble more of a water buffalo, but twice the size of a longhorn bison and evolved larger horns to defend themselves against predators. Lalomenas are social animals, living in large herds up to hundreds due to many predators around. Herds are led by dominant and aggressive bulls that protects the herds from predators. Lalomenas tend to mix herds with other herbivores, including hadrosaurs, ceratopsians and hollowhorns. When attacked by predators, Lalomena herds will circle around their young from danger while showing off their horns and giving out aggressive warning calls to fend off predators. Lalomenas are preyed upon by many predators, including tyrannosaurs, other predatory dinosaurs, bone jackals, swamp dragons, Komodo rexes, big cats, wolves, hyenas, etc.
