365 Project, Day 77

Armored Grell.
The large bony front of the animal is used for combat during mating season and also for defense. Females are also equipped with a slightly denser plate. The adults form a circle around the young, with the plates facing out, when threatened.  The tusks are used mainly for digging up tender roots.
