Hardolophotherium- Monotreme

Description

I've always read about Mammal Like reptiles so I thought I would draw a Lizard/Dinosaur Like Mammal. This creature has behavior similar to both Hadrosaurs and deer. Roughly the size of an elephant, early humans may have used the crests of these dead creatures as shields, and the claws for jewelry as well as spear points. Males win mating bouts by either being the largest, with the largest crest or wounding their opponents. Females are larger with thicker claws for protecting the offspring and themselves. Due to the size of this species Hadrolophotherium may have had no natural predators other than large crocodiles or when young Saber-tooths. Since being one if not the largest Monotreme, it lays eggs as well as a milk like liquid producing sweat gland. It shares some traits of both reptiles/Archosaurs in this case include the before mentioned traits as well as light weight body structure such as air filled sacs which helped in breathing and porous almost hollow bones, which helped it stay a good 1.5 tonnes. Hadrolophotherium also has a thin layer of fur to help in the sometimes cold African nights, this fur covers from just behind the head to just past the hips the remaining bit of tail is covered in a rough almost scaly skin. The total 48 foot long body only real furry around its chest also the neck which could be used to keep their eggs warm and the young.
