Elephants of Kaimere Part V: Koga, the Terrible Beast of Kairul
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 май 2023
- Although often reconstructed as elephants with downward-facing tusks, deinotheres were actually only distant relatives of elephants. In Kaimere, their gracile builds allowed for the development of thick armor without the risk of overheating, an important defense when living alongside predators as large as themselves...
Songs of the Inland Sea is the sequel to Tales of Kaimere! It is a nautical anthology, with all six short stories and novellas taking place in aquatic settings. There are heists on a ship, a desperate chase through a marsh, and a survival story from the perspective of a killer whale!

BEHOLD HIS MIGHTY SNOOOOOOT
BOOP IT!!!
Bwaaaaaaaaamp!!
That's not a snoot, that there is a titan sized schnoz
@@davyjones3755 A snoot’s a snoot, regardless of size.
@@samuelscott-schroeder8597no no don't boop it he'll crush you to bits
The Koga is pretty much a Halloween version of an elephant. It's intimidating and a little more alien compared to the elephants we know on earth! i love it.
I love that description!
@@TalesofKaimere I assume the koga are probably untamable/trainable right? due to sheer aggression and lower intelligence. if it weren't for that, they could have been more economical as work/war animals than their cousins given such short pregnancies and adolescent stages.
Uktan after taking down a pachy:Why do I hear boss music?
Koga charging in menacingly:It's time to go.
Uktan:No,koga!No!
Also, in my opinion, koga should be its own unique genus.
I would like to ask keenan my world is a colder one, so could the elephants in my world evolve thicker skin and armor since there's no risk of overheating.I really enjoy these narrative opening for kairul since it gives much more depth into the research of this world.
Yeah there's a strong argument for the koga being its own genus, but as Dr. Kaplan argued, as long as we only really have skeletons to compare, and the skeleton of koga don't stand out given how diverse known species of Deinotherium are, there isn't sufficient diagnostic features to justify a distinct genus.
Cooler temperatures would certainly make thicker hide and armor worth evolving. Too much would make them very vulnerable in heat flashes and they would still risk overheating if they do a lot of travel unless they adapted to shed heat, something that would come around to bite them if they are ever stationary, but overall some added armor should be fine.
You can even use any extinct families of Elephants if you desire !
Whatever Stegodonts, Amebelodontid or Gomphoteres, who were mostly tropical warm animals.
Because every elephants adapt quickly to dry cold, see snowy areas by growing their fur on all over their body pretty quickly I response of low temperatures.
TheJuras on DeviantArt even made a woolly Stegodon animal in his mythical spec evo setting.
You did justice to the Deinotherium! One of the most successful proboscidean but often unknowed or at least underrated by the mainstream audience
Thank you! Was a fascinating animal I definitely wanted to do right by them
Another very well made animal! I love the way you’ve made them feel so real not only to your own fictional people, but to us as well.
Thank you!!
Call me a fan of all Kaimeran elephants! Deinotherium is one of the tallest of its kind from our fossil record. I especially like what you did with the trunk length of this animal, it looks more realistic and useful than other versions I've seen. And you mentioned Pachycephalosaurs too! More dinos are always fun. Keep it up!
Heck yeah! In consultation with an expert it was recommended that I make it at least long enough for them to lean down and drink.
@@TalesofKaimere That's exactly what I was thinking. Also interesting is that bulging structure at the base of the trunk. It's kinda like the nasal sack of some Hadrosaurs.
I consider Deinotherium the "Bully to Early Man''.
I for one am super looking forward to the li'l brainy 'phants. This whole series on proboscideans has been fantastic so far (as, of course, is the whole of Kaimere, but y'know XD).
Thank you!
One of the most majestic and strange beast to ever walk and be seen, so far
This give me the idea of Sapient Proboscidea with inflatable trunk as a forms of facial expression. 🎉
Btw Koga look sick, it’s mightiness go as far as how stunning they are❤
Thank you! And yes a big ol resonant chamber would be a fun visual cue!
There's a history museum here in my Hometown that has a fossil of one of these absolutely beautiful, Can only imagine what these creatures looked like in the Flash
That’s so fascinating!
I knew the Koga was scary, but attacking an Uktan unprovoked? Well...
Also, does it pull that stunt with the Bokudo?
Finally, would we see the Grassland Oliphants next week?
Thank you for this spectacular episode.
Thank you! Next week is on the chuga, but the grassland oliphaunt will be covered.
@@TalesofKaimere Thank you again for these amazing news.
Generational trauma can make some animals hostile to others, similar thing happens with rhinos that attack hyenas or lions unprovoked
@@alejandroelluxray5298 Well, that explains a lot. Thanks for that my friend.
Travelling to Kairul!! Wow!! Groovy Diary introduction, between familiar faces of the Known world and strange most wildly odds from a Colossal realm!! Trully a elegant and Bloody Colossus!! I cant wait to see of Kairul and More!! Also neat Evolutionary facts like always too!!
I like the Koga’s design and that you gave it distinctive sounds from other proboscideans. I imagine these guys run on spite and anger. Would be in like with Walking with Beasts for sure
Absolutely! I used pig sounds but matched the tone and depth with those of elephants and am pretty happy with the result
I like Henry’s excerpts. Interesting to hear about things from the perspective of an earth human.
Got to admit it is fun to hear about a mammal that can successfully go one on one with one of the tyrants and have a good chance of winning. I thik so far only the giant sloths and kalikathears are in that club.
Kaimere Tuesday is my favorite day of the week.
Heck yeah!
I would really love to here the soundtrack from the first proboscidean episode with 6th episode; That song really nailed the hammer down for me. Though I can replay from Deskant I would really like to hear it again for the last episode of Proboscideans.
Loving the journal entries, they do a great job of adding character to the feature animal.
Thank you!
Love the dewlap
The scene from the journal in the beginning was pretty cool ngl. Deinotherium is my favourite proboscidean and I like how you managed to make it distinct in appearance from other proboscideans while still being believable. And the adaptations you gave it are interesting. Koga might be a big dumb elephant but it's by far the best equipped proboscidean to counter megaratorans.
Also teasing pachycephalosaurs aren't you? That's great!
Thanks and yes indeed! Always got to plant the seeds for the next things haha
1:27 I was half expecting him to call it Friar Tuck
Behold the King of Kairul the Koga. What a powerful beast he is. Excellent episode
An absolute unit of a beast! Congrats Keenan, this series is being a delight to follow. One question, Does the giants grassland oliphaunt still exist in Kairul? We know that in the Known World they perish but maybe they survive in the big prairies of the Eastern Realm
They are indeed still found in small populations! Henry Abernathy briefly mentions encountering them in the excerpt at the beginning of this episode!
@@TalesofKaimere Will they ever be shown in a future episode? (Also, how well do they and Koga do against Bokodu?)
I like the depiction of the trunk being adapted into a resonating chamber, looks a little bit like an elephant seal.
Yup! Elephant seals were a big inspiration, which kinda makes them 'elephant seal elephants' which I thought was funny
A most formidable beast of Kairul indeed, I always found the Deinotheres to be a very bizarre bunch, and this one lives to that title with raging pride, a ferocity that not even the Uktan dares to provoke. Excelent episode, I cannot wait for the Chuga chapter
Aww hell nah Kaimere got the Deinothere with that Gigachad chin
It seems like the Koga also has quite the temper. It’s probably good that they’re rare in the known world, as I could imagine them charging hunting parties, people on horseback, or even simple farmers for seemingly no reason.
Man im happy to know that deinotherium are going strong in kaimere! As for making this beast into a figurine, I'd probably make an earth deinotherium and then the kaimerean Koga.
Absolutely!
@Keenan Taylor's Tales of Kaimere I wanted to ask you if there are any living brontotheres in kaimere, or at least in the known world. I don't know if they'd have a place considering all of the niches seem to be taken up by other herbivores, but I figured I'd ask.
@@chancegivens9390 I do not have any plans for them but there are a few possible places they might survive as insular dwarfs. Not saying that they will (there's no evidence they had the same propensity for this as proboscideans do) but just to say I haven't ruled it out for an insular or perhaps small forest species, but the 12+ ton giants of the middle Tyrant Dynasty are definitely extinct.
@@TalesofKaimere I figured. Thank you for the answer!
Yo cursed beast in-coming!
Amazing work!👏🌟
Thanks!
love this omg good job i find this after making me design for a elephant
Heck yeah!
Love this!
Been playing Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and one of the villains is named “Kohga.” Who is the fat goofball leader of the menacing Yiga Clan.
Wait, didn't he died in Breath of the Wild? I remember having a boss battle with him and the Yiga saying he was dead after the boss battle.
That's fantastic!
@@Ditidos ummm spoilers ahead
Master Kohga fell into a vast chasm under Hyrule known as the “Depths.” This area is full of gloom, monsters, zoanite, and Zonai ruins. He wants to understand how Zonai vehicles work and how he can use them in his army.
Also if you know if a character dies by falling he’s coming back
@@Ditidos This character, Kohga, isn't dead in Breath of the Wild (1), just defeated.
Even, he was already very old at the time of the events of the game !
Being older than 100 years, since we see him in the spin-off game "Hyrule Warrior : Age of Calamity", which take place 100 years before Breath of the Wild (but, btw, end up becoming in it's own continuity/dimension of it's own at the end, since there a temporal paradox made by Terrako).
And that without any explanation about why he still alive and he have an old lifespan.
I don't have play or watch yet anything about Tears of the Kingdom to see what happen to him, but he's still alive and since Tears of the Kingdom set just some times after the first game, he don't change a lot.
My Favourite Probocidian!!! By incredibly close margin though.
There's so many cool ones its hard to choose!
you always make amazing videos!
The Koga is incredible, and has certainly earned the name of Terrible Beast!! I find it fascinating that the adaptations that allowed them to adapt to survive in a habitat with large Megaraptoran predators makes them diverge from the high intelligence seemingly characteristic of proboscideans as a whole (especially given that the presence of large predators drove the mammoths to be more social). I’m guessing this is not the case, but I still have to ask: are there any complex or overly positive interactions between hominids of Kairul and the Koga, in spite of their aggression and lower intelligence? It feels plausible that at least one less-than-sane person might see this beast that can repel an Uktan and picture using it as an armored war mount as mammoths and Drenduga are.
Thanks again for more elephants, and I’m absolutely stoked for the upcoming episode!!
This was an amazing episode, one I have waited for a long time.
Thanks much appreciated!
Nice
Edit: also I was inspired to make my own speculative evolution thing from yours and mine is pretty similar just the planets a bit colder and it’s a bit more of an even playing field for mammals
This was such a great video! Its really cool how the deinotheres are the most successful proboscidean clade, and even then only in the diverse habitats of Kairul
Just wondering about that resonating chamber on the trunk
1. How rigid is it? Can it inflate and retract or is it a hard bony structure?
2. What prompted the evolution of such a structure? Is it for display or purely to amplify calls?
3. How social are Koga? Does the resonating chamber help them communicate long-distance?
Obviously cant wait for the Khoikorim, but im personally more excited for the falconry episode afterwards!
Glad you enjoyed!
1. The ridges are thick hide, though are elastic enough to move, while the pale skin between is very flexible. It can inflate in a similar way to elephant seals, though is a bit sturdier so can't inflate quite as dramatically.
2. All to amplify calls. As a resonating chamber this carries the rumbling calls of bulls much further, as many as ten to fifteen miles away, so cows can hear them and go to the sound if they want to mate.
3. They are largely solitary, though females will keep within a few miles of related cows.
I would like to see a new video of new bear dogs and their species and their origins when they are teleported in kaimere
How do koga directly interact with pachycephalosaurs, thescelosaurs, ceratopsids, titanosaurs, and ghlanos?
My finger goes weeeeee and bushed the tubnail!!!
It's very nice to see one of our most beloved, adored and feared famous, iconic Cenozoic beast that is Deinotherium being an unavoidable sight and thriving species as on Earth.
You give, as it deserve and always have, the presentation of the brutal, pure force, gigantism, and seemingly undefeatable being that we often portray Deinotherium to be.
I would even say that you buffed even more than it was already be ! XD
I wish coljnbian mmamoths and camelops were in kaimere but with what we know aboit tje firsr children if they wre harvested they would be taken out by thr first chidlren
@@rylanbrewer3320 Colombian Mammoth and Giant Camels were indeed harvested, but since that was at the Last Natural Harvest, they were killed just after replication by the First Children.
@@dudotolivier6363 if the first children didn’t end them how would they do
Maaan what a banger today! I love the voice acting in the first scene and the Uktan being called a Carnosaur (I suppose it's because as of 1950s we called all theropods Carnosaurs right?)
I love the adaptation of the Koga, they are my favourite of your elephants. They are wonderful and I find them very imposing!
I also love the music, but that is a staple for this channel.
Thank you! Yes calling it a carnosaur was just being consistent with their understanding of theropod cladistics at the time. Until the 80's and 90's, it was conventional to just say 'big theropod? carnosauria'. The truth is that them being megaraptorans is only the prevailing theory's d naturally has only been a theory since the clade megaraptora was named in 2010. Some still think they are allosaurs, giant basal tyrants similar to an animal like Eotyrannus, or even giant compsognathids! I call them megaraptorans for the sake of simplicity and it being the Assembly leading theory, but the truth is after 70+ million years, they are in distinct orders of theropod from their ancestral clades, so their exact cladistics isn't really super relevant.
@@TalesofKaimere That’s so cool! And I really like the detail of using the terminology of the time, makes it much more believable!
And of course, after 70 million years they would be very derived, we call all animals by their extant clades so why call them by some irrelevant family millions years ago. Btw the name Robust Monarchs is very cool, I really like it.
@@TalesofKaimere Speaking of which, I take it that basal megaraptorans are descended from non-megaraptorid megaraptorans while robust monarchs are descended from megaraptorids?
What's the exact size of the koga and what's the largest koga on record?
Who would win . Kaimere vs Peter Jackson’s skull island
The last Deinotherium: Koga
The koga basically traded brain for brawn
So does the camouflage into the forest
Yes indeed! Camouflage works well in the forest (juveniles and cows have more pronounced pattern) and it also helps with insect repellant while not overheating like a fully dark pattern would in the open territory.
@@TalesofKaimere
Interesting
So koga are dumber the other kaimere an pachyderms
@@rylanbrewer3320 Yes and by a significant margin
@@TalesofKaimere how dumb are we talking about
Outside having more flatted back and head, and longer limbs, as well that their famous donward curved tusks, Deinotheres weren't as differents that most others true elephants families, so most even very old, depiction of these animals still hold up well even to these days.
Yet, a thing that you should point out and mention in your elephants videos would be to put forward the very interesting fact that all Proboscidean families, whatever between the Plesielephantiformes/Deinotheres and True elephants, between all the families of True Elephants themselves and even inside the Modern Elephants themselves, the Elephantidae, is that all the members of each groups end up looking very similar in term of form and appearances to the current African Loxodonta and Asian Elephas species !
Really, that is an actuality !
That there was a sort of Carcinisation/Carcinization but version Elephants among Proboscidean !
Mastodon, Stegodont, Amebelodontid, and Gomphoteres, on Earth, have their early members very differents and diversified, but overtime, they independantly evolved to look like more a Modern Elephant.
Being themselves True elephants, this convergent evolution isn't striking at first.
But is more when we add the Deinotheres !
Because they weren't elephants at all ! Since being member of the Plesielephantiformes instead of the Elephantimorpha.
It's also to point out that the first Modern Elephants/Elephantidae don't looked at all like they are in our modern days.
Their main common ancestor, Primelehas, and their close relatives the Stegotetrabelodonts, was a very different animal in term of form, shape and appearance.
So, the Modern Elephant form is a form that all of these families end up having by complete coicidance !
Even the Elephantidae themselves !
And that trend occured as well on Kaimere, since the Grassland Oliphaunt, despite being a Gomphotere, look completely like a African Elephant, with only it's four tusks betraying it's true nature !
Jesus th le trunk on it :
0O0
-deinosuchus
-deinonychus
-deinotherium
-deinocheirus
So many terrible creatures.
They’re really terrible
@@TalesofKaimere Speaking of which, other than deinotherium and possibly deinocheirus, did any of these creatures get harvested?
It does make sense that it has Amor because of predators
nice
Common Titan it is then! Bradbury, the common Titan, upon whose back is built a store house. I would add some giant sloths to the group but I doubt they could keep up and wouldn’t like the constant moving.
Poe the Koga joins the herd. The young bull has often gotten the herd into as much trouble as he is worth. Since the violent idiot won’t group up with the rest when the herd is under attack, the Bone Witch has instead invested in barding covered in spines for his newest addition to the family.
The big snoot
The music you've chosen for these episodes has been fantastic. These last two especially.
While the narrative openings are pretty fun, I will say that your accent lapses a little bit. But its over all pretty well done, and I'm not saying you do a bad job at all.
I mean no offense against your ability by this, but I'd be happy to try voicing a future narrative opening for you(if you have any in the future). Although you do it fine, and there's a fair chance I'd do a far worse job. But I just thought I'd throw that out there. Awesome video!
Appreciate it! This and last videos were recorded on a bum mic as I was coming down with a cold. Definitely not my best work but that’s life. I do want to hire voice actors for some roles at some point but that probably won’t be for a while.
Hey he was wondering after your Les elephant video can you do a video about Dinobirds of kaimere
We do have a video on firebirds in a couple months, but I don't pick the topics these days it's all up to the sponsors!
If we dont get a oliphant video next week plus the pictures
So indeed, there are other species of deinothere along side the koga? Particulary insular dwarf species?
Maybe, but it's not proven, and Keenan will not have the time to explore all of this before a very long time, considering he even had not time to explore that before the release of this episode.
What are the dominant clades in kairul?
What is a koga's lifespan compared to other elephants? Also, are the any other types of elephant in kairul?
Curious.
Only the big, bulkier and taller proboscidean endure in the continent, the pressure of megateropods are to much to regular size ones? The mammoth hide yourself in the snow and Highlands but theres no onde small elephant in forest or swamps?
Really, Assembly current understanding of the Koga and all the others Kairulan animals shown so far so really a lot how their knowledge are limited to the West Coast of the Eastern Realm Continent. And that the WestNorth, South and North East Coasts (and the borders of the middle sea inside it) are barely explored by them, if just at all even.
So, that came with no surprise that their theories about the Koga/Deinotherium is still filled with several holes and held on in Modern Days.
About the fact that there is maybe several species, 7 almost, of aparts/distinct Deinotheriums, this theory isn't irrelevant at all.
See, is very likely to be a complete reality.
After all, considering how big and large Kairul is, and how that on our own Earth up to 3-4 species of Deinotherium (co)existed at the same time during the Middle Cenozoic, this idea isn't farfexth at all.
Althought, considering how nomadic these animals are/were, being always on the move and travelling always between two areas of vegetations, and that they lived in a very low density level per km, I would personnaly rather down the number of potential species to 3-4 at maximum, like on Earth.
Some dwarf and insular species of Deinotherium, and Gomphotheres, can pottentially exist in the offshores islands of Kairul, like the few ones we see clearly at the South East Coats area, since they are in the same tropic region than the Southern Island/Pakardia, so these place must be way colder than the remaining areas on the mainland who are warm.
But since any Assembly naturalist have go so far yet, that is still uncomfirmed.
Question: what’s the purpose of the big old swelling at the base of the trunk?
If I remember correctly, it's supposed to be a resonator that amplifies their calls
It's a chamber they can inflate to amplify their calls. Normally it's not inflated to that degree, as shown in the cow picture.
Will we get videos on how to draw like u?😢
How do Kaimerans know about what we call Earth animals? I’m curious how they know words like Deinotherium and Pachycephalosaurus. Is it just to make the writing process easier for yourself? That’s valid if so
In short: they don't. These videos are from the Assembly PoV, and their human agents know of and use our scientific classifications. Koga/Rulga (strange elephant, Eastern elephant) are the Kaimeran Common (trade language) word for Deinotherium. Wedgehead and turtlehead are English translations of the Common words for Pachycephalosaurs. Dr. Melnyk is a human who told Abernathy, a human vampire, what the Assembly calls wedgeheads: Pachycephalosaurs.
Man I would love to create some spec animals for this world, A Dino hunting specialist jaguar. Maybe a Warrior tribe of vampires,
Would be cool, sadly Keenan don't have plan for some kind of community contests like the ones for Snaid or the Spec Evo Challenges by Joshua Knuppe.
@@dudotolivier6363 That's a bummer
@@sergeantkhanventure4910 Yep, I share that opinion too.
How tall are koga?
Hmm, do Koga and Ghlanos ever cross paths?
Yes. Ghlanos and koga are both browsers, though ghlanos supplement with grass so are better suited to living on the prairie and thereby avoiding titan competition. They are also better at fighting off megaraptorans, and have an even faster rate of reproduction. Ghlanos have a smaller range than koga, but still outnumber them by a significant margin.
@@TalesofKaimere Interesting.
Why did the titanosaurs evolve such weird face features? It cam into my mind while watching
Are there any dwarf deinotherium on an island of the coast of kairul ?
Possibly. Haven’t finalized but I imagine it has happened from time to time
Are there frogs and toads on Kiamere?
Yes, hundreds if not thousands of species in just the known world and its component continents.
How exactly koga interacts with titanosaurs and ghlanos of Kairul? They ignoring each other, treat themselves as rivals or are happy to travel together?
Big herbivores tend to be very aggressive toward each others.
In Africa, Elephants, Rhinos, Hippos and Buffalos remain as possible as far to the others and when they meet, they always enter in fight.
While between Hippos and Rhinos always beat Buffalos, they are themselves always beaten by Elephants.
The bigger dominating the less bigg.
So, things must be similar on Kairul, with the Modotan dominating the others, and the Koga and Ghlanos being in a equal level.
All of them must remain in their own side and avoiding encounters as possible.
As Dudot said, with similar-sized animals like koga and ghlanos, it comes down to individuals. Titanosaurs are several orders of magnitude larger, and in some cases can move almost as fast and certainly longer, and their aggression can make them extremely dangerous. Trampling over a koga, bokodu, or ghlanos that doesn't get away fast enough and killing them with their claws is well documented. Terrestrial mammals can't get much bigger than 20 tons, with most being half that, while sauropods can reliably get to 100 tons or more. It is best to avoid titans whenever possible.
@@TalesofKaimerehow aggressive are Modotan compared to the common titans
Question: Is there one crest on its trunk, or two? (Side by side like Dilophosaurus) Because I can’t tell.
It's not a crest, it's an inflatable resonating chamber that amplifies its calls for long distance communication and intimidation
@@Andrey.Ivanov Thanks for the clarification.
yooooooo!!!
You know
I don‘t see why deinothere tusk arrangements would be better to fend of therapods than for example mammoth ones
Deinothere tusks seem like daggers compared to mammoth ones
You said it was because uktans could grapple their tusks but i don’t think therapods could particularly strongly clench their fingers for that
Mammoth tusks being more like spears
I would like answer your question.You see with koga.It's curved tusks prevent the robust monarch from going for the throat without getting stabbed.While with other elephants,robust monarchs can disable the tusks with one hand grapping it and biting the other one with a bite,allowing them to stab its neck with their other hand.
@@TerranArt Megaraptorans had very great mobility in their forelimbs compared to other theropods and could flex their fingers to a great degree. In Kaimere they had additional 66 million years to adapt even more in that direction.
Mammoth tusks are not really that great against predators of their size class to be fair. Their tusks are long but are curved and point inwards so aren't great for stabbing. They can mostly use them to push and shove opponents our of their way.
Also even in proboscideans with straighter tusks I'd say the length is a disadvantage after a certain point. They would require a bigger turn radius in order to position themselves against their opponent for a stab.
So I personaly mostly agree with Keenan on this.
Also megaraptorans have more dexterous fingers.
Mammoth tusks are better for fending off and are more intimidating (a fight avoided is much better than a fight you win but got a few injuries in), but in a direct fight, it's quite well documented that elephants with large tusks can't really employ them well as weapons. More prone to breaking the longer they are, and unless they are regularly honed to points (not practical when they're more useful as tools), they can't pierce that well. Long elephant tusks are good against other elephants, but even then after a certain size they just aren't practical. The shape and tool utility of koga tusks also sharpens them, making them better weapons.
Keenan, thank you for your hard work, I really appreciate it. ☺️😊😄😃🤩😍 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much!
Do they still attack people like they did in the ancient times?
Now and then. Kairul doesn’t have a ton of people but where they intersect the Koga can be violent
@@TalesofKaimere OK
This is just my uktan v Ghlanos
v bokudo question longer but,
Koga:
Ghlanos:
Bokodu:
Uktan:
Who wins at high noon on the Prarie? 4 way free for all
If you want, include the other kairulan giants.
Single individuals? Bokodu, Uktan, Ghlanos, Koga. Ghlanos can and do regularly fend off bokodu and uktan, but this is when there’s a coordinated and socially sophisticated herd. Koga fare better against uktan than Drenduga, but in an average situation the uktan still has the upper hand in a brawl. Uktan do prey on bokodu more than bokodu defeat uktan, but uktan often hunt in pairs and the fact that they more regularly kill bokodu is because of ambush advantage. Open field? I do think the bokodu has the advantage.
@@TalesofKaimere thank you, yes single individuals is the intention with the question.
Why cannot Koga and Uktan win an equal amount of fights against each other?
@@maxhodge7149 Why would they need an even 50/50 split? Uktan is a predator of koga it wouldn't make sense to hunt them if they didn't stand a decent chance of winning.
@@TalesofKaimere I thought it was like sperm whales and giant squids.
Do koga have any ecological rivals?
They compete with ghlanos in their open range and titanosaurs in forested habitats
What about Paris oilphaunta
What that thing in that nose?
Resonating chamber
@@TalesofKaimere, Resonating what? I think that is an thermoregulation something.

Hearing you talk in a southern accent is the goofiest shit ever.
I don't mean that in an insulting way.
