Coelorhinus

Coelorhinus is a genus of horned, mixed-reproduction Geanta species with evolutionary ties to Belludon. While individual shapes/sizes differ between species, each is characterized by a split jaw, thick, stocky builds, a large nasal horn, and large "bulbs" or "pods" running the lengths of their bodies that grow young through parthenogenesis that is born during the wet season.

Zavana Kirin
(Coelorhinus unicornis)

The Zavana Kirin, Coelorhinus unicornis, is a medium-large herbivorous species of kirin typically residing in humid, flat environments found in temperate zavanas in Pratoria. They are immediately recognizable by their elongated skull shape (with horns) and small, stocky stature. They reproduce both syngamically and parthenogenically, using the pods around their middles to grow genetically identical offspring to thrive in the dry season and reproduce sexually for births during the wet season. This allows genetic variation but also ensures the survival of the species. Scientists believe their horns are used for displays of intimidation and aggression as well as warding off large predators. They typically grow to around 5-6 ft (1.5-1.8 m) tall and typically weigh around 5500 lbs (2495 kg).
