Bohlinia (SciiFii)

The tall-horned giraffe (Bohlinia imperialis), also known as the black-footed giraffe, the king giraffe, and the European giraffe, is a species of the artiodactyl family Giraffidae that originally lived during the Late Miocene in Europe and Africa as an extinct species of Bohlinia and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across Africa and Europe to help boost biodiversity. The tall-horned giraffe has two horn-like protuberances known as ossicones on their foreheads. The tall-horned giraffe's horns are longer, larger, and more goat-like than those of the Giraffa giraffes'. Fully grown tall-horned giraffes stand around 5 meters (16.4 feet) tall, with males taller than females. The tallest recorded tall-horned giraffe male was 5.17 meters (17.0 feet) and the tallest recorded female was 4.99 meters (16.4 ft) tall. The primary food sources of the tall-horned giraffe includes leaves, fruits and flowers of woody plants, including acacia species, which they browse at heights most other herbivores cannot reach. Tall-horned giraffes may be preyed on by lions, leopards, spotted hyenas, African wild dogs, and dholes. Tall-horned giraffes live in herds of related females and their offspring, or bachelor herds of unrelated adult males, but are gregarious and may gather in large aggregations. Males establish social hierarchies through "necking", which are combat bouts where the neck is used as a weapon. Dominant males gain mating access to females, which bear the sole responsibility for raising the young. The conservation status of the tall-horned giraffe is Near Threatened due to some habitat loss and historic poaching, however, thanks to the conservationists, the tall-horned giraffe is a protected species and has since made a comeback.
