Giant Pakahe

The giant pakahe replaced it's ancestor, the burrowing pakahe. Since it was being terrorized by the brown pakahe, It developed island gigantism. It sustains it's diet by eating the gourds of the zuphinki. The giant pakahe has also evolved a club-like tail used do shock-damage against predators like the brown pakahe. Because of this, the giant pakahe is a lethal herbivore.

During the winter it buries itself in the dirt with it's back sticking out of the ground, keeping it warm until the spring. Males fight for the harem by swinging their club-like tails against each other. It has become more colorful so it can attract more mates during the mating season. Due to their size, they give birth to only one chick. Otherwise, they would overpopulate the area.
