Description My (quite) old concept for ca.org COW


Name: Woorthog

Ice Age, about 11 000 years BC. The human is going to hunt meat for his tribe, but this day he will meet predator more powerful than anything he saw before...
Woorthog was a gigantic prehistoric mammal which terrorised human during some period of Pleistocene. Bigger than mammoths, a great hunter, was able to eat every animal on the earth. If it saw the prey, there was no escape. With it's tooth transformed into a horn, hunter could destroy not only human's settlement but also icebergs, and get into the frozen caves. After 300 years of its appearance every creature on the north pole area of our globe extincted, because of appetite of the beast. Scientists say that was kind of suicide for the Woorthog who also disappeared. Woorthog means in the prehistoric language The Wolf of Flame and some people suppose that it was an inspiration for the creators of Nordic mythology to make up the story about Fenrir.

any animal THAT large needs enough nutritions to sustain themselves. and in the harsh, freezing ice age, maintaining a daily diet was certainly not easy. how did this guy manage to do that? migration? hibernation? a mixed diet? digging through the ice and catching whales, perhaps?

I hope it is his pet... he'll never bring it down with this tiny stick of his!

Great work, the beast looks just right different.
Maybe a bit more snow?
