[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 8438963, member: 6796468"] For that, you can look at how humans deal with megafauna in the modern day! For example, in North America the Moose eats 50lbs of vegetation a day. If you wanna keep him out of your garden you need a 6-8 foot tall sturdy wooden fence or stone wall. If it's shorter than 4 feet he'll just jump over it. Other things that keep moose away are Dogs and Chili Pepper. Just sprinkle the chili pepper on the higher leaves of a plant (Right around grazing-height for the moose, so low-leaves on a Birch tree, for example) and after the first few bites he'll move along. And dogs scare them off because wolves are pack-hunters. In Africa, Beehives are hung from lines strung between trees to keep elephants from getting near to crops. You can also sprinkle Elephant Pee from a different elephant in the area, and then elephants will stay out of "His" territory, unless they're looking to bow up for a mating fight. In India, a tea plantation put up a Giraffe Statue to scare away the Indian Elephants who have no clue what a giraffe is and freak the heck out when they see it! (Not a lot of people worry about Rhinos eating their crops because endangered. :( ) With Hippopotami you just get out of their way. You can try to kill them with weapons but they'll batter through a fence or wall in order to get to what they want. They ignore pretty much everything except -maybe- fire. IF you can fake a wildfire they'll vacate the area before roasting, but that's about it. [/QUOTE]
