All over Europe and nowadays found nearly all over the world north of the equator.

Distinguishing Features:  

Entelodonts resemble the domesticated Muggle cow. Though Entelodont females have 3 zylindrical udders about 6 - 7 inches long found in the middle of their belly. The hooves are of a special kind of horn that looks iriscident at night.

The area around their eyes and forehead is pink in colour and can look bright red when they pumpe blood into this facial skin in an attempt to scare off predators. This tactic works very well on Dragons who swoop down from above. Seeing the large red blob confuses them, giving them the impression that it is not the prey they had been hunting for. This is a reason why the once very rare Entelodont has been reintroduced by wizarding farmers and are domestically bred all over the world now. 

The adult male Entelodont develops a horn crest behind its head of the same iriscident colour as the hooves. The females give milk all year around which is very nutritious for beast and human.

All Entelodonts have 4 long sharp teeth at the front of it's mouth, merely used to scare predators off. Nevertheless, it's advised not to get confused with a carrot, as these teeth are indeed sharp.

Entelodonts are the size of large horses but much more massive in body. The sound they make when communicating is a loud roar similar to that of a stag. When they are in heat, which happens about 4 times a year, both the male and female Entelodont are terribly noisey while they mate which usually takes part at midnight lasting for at least 3 hours. The roaring in that time is deafening to any wizard trying to sleep nearby. It is advised to keep your stables far away from the house.

An Entelodont has a very peaceful nature. Its rather tame and absolutely harmless despite it's fierce looking teeth. It can hardly be teased into aggression. Entelodonts also can develope a special bond to a wizard and might enjoy following them around and do little tricks for them, like carrying things in their mouths. Entelodonts though, are unforgiving. If you treat them badly they will always remember you and spit at you when they see you. The spit is slimmy and of a clear pale blue colour that hardens instantly on the skin but can be peeled off like wax and used as such once dried.

A bothersome side-effect of an Entelodont's digestive system is constant farting which smells rather foul.

Entelodonts eat grass, hay, veges, fat juicy Jarancarcarbundriums (which usually is a treat by chance, as Jaran's are often kept as a pet!). They don't like fruit though! their stomachs cannot handle to digest them. Normally an Entelodont refuses fruit, but if fruit is offered by hand or gets into a vegetable meal it will stimulate it's belly to swell up like a balloon instantly. This will cause the Entelodont to float up into the air for a few moments until they break wind via their back-passage that is so violent, that it will have the same effect as a balloon that is zooming around in the air in an odd zig-zag manner after one allows it to release its air. This effect on the Entelodont will often cost the wizard owner long hours of search to relocate his animal across the country.

NOTE:  Because of children using this ballooning effect for pranks and thus causing much trouble, a law has been evoked by the MOM that parents of such children will be charged a fee of at least 100 Galleons.

Special magical featureand use:

Entelodont's hooves (or male horn crests) are used for making neat looking adornments for the lady like combs, long horn pins, butterfly clips etc.

The milk isn't magical, but it is extremely nutritious containing many antibodies against the common flue.
