Archaeotherium (SciiFii)

The lesser terminator hippopotamus (Archaeotherium vulgaris) is a species of entelodont artiodactyl that originally lived in what is now North America during the Late Eocene through the Oligocene as an extinct species of Archaeotherium and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern forests, open woodlands, grasslands, and shrublands of North America to help boost biodiversity. The lesser terminator hippopotamus is rather small compared with most entelodonts, but still has a large, bulky body, slender legs, and a long snout. It usually grows to be about 1.2 meters (3 feet 11 inches) tall at the shoulder and around 2 meters (6 feet 7 inches) long. Adults usually weigh around 150–250 kilograms (330-530 lbs) on average. Although it is generally pig-like, the entelodonts like giant terminator hippos are actually most closely related to the whales and "true" hippopotamuses. It is a solitary omnivorous mammal that primarily feeds on roots, tubers, fruits, carrion, insects, and various small-to-medium-sized animals (except humans or domestic animals). The conservation status of the lesser terminator hippopotamus is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the lesser terminator hippo's wide range, and its tolerance to many of human activities.
