Eobasileus (SciiFii)

The eastern rhino-mimic (Eobasileus americanum, name meaning "American horned dawn-king") is a species of dinocerate mammal that originally lived in North America during the Eocene as an extinct species, Eobasileus cornutus, and that genus was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern rainforests, swamps, forests, and open woodlands of North America to help boost biodiversity. With a head about 1 meter (3.3 ft) long, and standing some 2.1 metres (6.9 ft) tall at the shoulder, with a weight of around 2,500 kilograms (5,500 lb), the eastern rhino-mimic is the largest uintathere. It looked much like the related American rhino-mimic. Like the American rhino-mimic, it has three pairs of blunt horns on its skull, covered with skin like the ossicones of a giraffe. The frontal pair composes of keratin, like the horn(s) of a rhinoceros. it also has a pair of tusks shielded by bony protrusions of the lower jaw. These structures are used in defense in most of its life and for sexual display during mating seasons. The conservation status of the American rhino-mimic is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the eastern rhino-mimic's wide range and its tolerance to most of human activities, including habitat loss, allowing it to survive and flourish in the wooded parts of the cities and suburbs, including city parks.
