This large ungulate occupies the western flanks of the
island. It leads a largely nocturnal lifestyle using its prehensile nose to
sniff out the juiciest berries of the thorny bushes and shrubs that surround
the beaches and coastal inlets. It is also known to paddle in the shallows and
graze upon the purple kelp that grows abundantly there. It has few natural predators as is it is more
than capable of defending itself with its formidable horns.
