Description
Great Rhinotops (Tricerarhino titanum) is species living only it one region of planet Artemis (Map of planet Artemis by GiuseppeZee on DeviantArt ) and that in region of Aonian basin around delta of river Erebus, which flows from glaciers at border of Iqqarhiya and Regnum Syriae through desert into Mare Nereidum (Map of Terra Aonia and Regnum Syriae by GiuseppeZee on DeviantArt ).

Surroundings of Mare Nereidum is covered by desert and semidesert and Great Rhinotops use exactly such flat habitats around delta of Erebus and in other parts of Aonian basin. Climate of this region is harsh, with freezing winters, which Rhinotops survives due to thick layer of fat and due to lot of time spent in branches of river.

An adult Great Rhinotops stands 180–265 cm high at the shoulder and is 3.3–4.6 m in length. An adult typically weighs from 1,300 to 3,100 kg (up to 4,500 kg). The cows are smaller than the bulls. Horns on the skull are made of keratin.

Overall population of Rhinotops living in Aonian basin (belonging to country Nereidia and its autonomous republic Terra Aonia) is at level 700 - 1300 individuals and conflicts between local communities and animals are arising often due to damaged crops at fields (mainly rice, maize, wheat, sunflowers and other crops often used by Grandicerus) and due to aggressiveness of bulls (like on the photo bull, which digs its foot in the ground and stirs up the dust).

The end of the mouth is ossified and resembles a beak, which is an adaptation for grazing leaves on thorn bushes.
