Description
The Humaphant is a type of human that stands at eight to ten feet in height. They live in the vast savannas of Africa, grazing on the grass and the treetops using their long, highly specialized tongue. The lump on their neck is a specially evolved thrumming instrument used to produce very deep and vibrating vocals, which males will use to woo females by producing a very charming and smooth tune. The males will also use their thrummers to ward off other rival males or to communicate across long distances, with both the males and females using them for communication. As they are relatives of humans, they are technically the largest extant ape, and are the only ape to not use their forelimbs for manipulation, instead using their highly specialized tongue. The Humaphant has also evolved relatively large ears, which have a couple different purposes. The first function of these large ears is similar to that of the great African elephants, with the Humaphant using its large ears as a natural cooling device. The second purpose is sexual display. The Humaphant has evolved long, dangling ear lobes, which are longer on males, and these ear lobes are used to convey good and strong genes in males and fertility and youth in females. The average intelligence of the Humaphant is similar to that of a chimp, but they are less territorial than chimps and humans, and are more of a herd-oriented species like the elephants of Earth, and are happy to share territory with another herd of Humaphants so long as the boarder herd provides something in return.

This drawing is just something I made for fun. The overall design was inspired by the post-human species of the Titans from the book All Tomorrows by C.M. Kosemen, also known as Nemo Ramjet. A good book, if you haven't read it, you should, but they may be out of print, I'm not sure.

Also, my schedule has changed once again. I'm just going to be uploading whenever I feel like it.
