Toxodon

The Toxodon is a large mammal species inhabiting the plains of South America.

Description
While its wild form, Toxodon platensis, reached around 1.5 meter high at the shoulder for a weight around 1,500 kg, the domesticated species Toxodon gigantis could be nearly twice as high, weighing up to 8 tons.

Relations with humans
The Toxodon has been historically domesticated by South American peoples millenia before the Common Era. As of today, they are usually herded by nomadic groups such as the Plain nomads, but are occasionally used as pack animals by sedentary farmers.
