Haplocanthosaurus (SciiFii)

Haplocanthosaurus pachypoda (name meaning "big-footed simple spined lizard") is a species of intermediate sauropod dinosaur that originally lived during the late Jurassic period (Kimmeridgian stage), 155 to 152 million years ago as two species, Haplocanthosaurus delfsi and Haplocanthosaurus priscus, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern open woodlands and grasslands across North America to help boost biodiversity. Haplocanthosaurus pachypoda is smaller than many of the sauropods originally from the Jurassic, reaching a total length of 14.8 meters (49 feet) and an estimated weight of 12.8 metric tons (14.1 short tons). Like other advanced sauropods, it is purely herbivorous, feeding mainly on leaves, pine needles, fruits, and nuts, while young Haplocanthosaurus pachypoda also feeds on horsetails, ferns, cycads, and shrubs due to being smaller than the adults. Like other sauropods, it is a social animal that lives in herds up to around 5-9 individuals at a time in normal circumstances, but in areas with enough food and space, there can be as many as 25 Haplocanthosaurus pachypoda individuals in a herd. The conservation status of Haplocanthosaurus pachypoda is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the animal's wide range.
