Description: One of the largest land mammals on Earth(but not as big as the biggest mammoth), the bush loxodont, was one of the biggest of the pachyderms, standing in 4 meters tall in its shoulders, and weight 7 tons. On Earth, that loxodonts are one of the only elephants lived in Africa, which they're known as ,"African Elephants." A herd made up of related females and their calves, all lead by the eldest, most experienced, and/or the biggest females, a matriarch. Bull loxodonts are highly solitary, but the male loxodont calves may stay with the herd until they left the herd during their adolescence, so that they can form their bachelor herds of the same age. Later that, they lead a solitary life, approaching female herds, during only the mating season. Like giant sauropods, such as Amphicoelias, Brontosaurus, Paralititan, and Brachiosaurus, the adult loxodonts have no natural predators, due to their greater size. But the calves have predators, including lions and crocodiles being common, and rare predators, like leopards and hyenas(NOT just any hyena, but spotted hyenas).
