Rusingoryx (SciiFii)

The blowhorn antelope (Rusingoryx atopocranion), also known as the trumpeter antelope and the trumpeter wildebeest, is a species of alcelaphine bovid artiodactyl closely related to the wildebeest that originally lived during the Pleistocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern plains of Africa to help boost biodiversity. The blowhorn antelope is known for its strange pointed nose with a large nasal dome. This structure represents an instance of convergent evolution with the crests of hadrosaurid dinosaurs, which are used for display and vocalization, and like them, the nasal dome helps the blowhorn antelope amplify its vocalization. It is a rather large antelope, growing to be about 120-150 сentimeters in height and weigh about 130-250 kg when fully grown. The blowhorn antelope is a herbivore that mainly feeds on grasses, leaves, and shrubs. Unlike wildebeests, blowhorn antelopes are mostly solitary animals that live alone in most of their lives, except during mating seasons when males attract females with resonating calls. The conservation status of the blowhorn antelope is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the blowhorn antelope's wide range.
