Americindricotherium (SciiFii)

The American giraffe rhinoceros (Americindricotherium tapirostrum) is a species of large indricothere rhinoceros that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The American giraffe rhinoceros is one of the largest known land mammals alive in prehistory and today, growing to be about 17.3 feet tall at the shoulders, 28 feet long from nose tip to tail tip, and weigh about 20 tons, although the Asian straight-tusked elephant is bigger. The American giraffe rhinoceros can be distinguished from other indricotheres by having large zebu-like dewlap on its neck, used for both display and thermoregulation, and a short tapir-like trunk used for gripping onto the tree branches and strip the leaves and other vegetation. It is solitary animal in most of its life, except during breeding seasons, when males clash with other males in a manner similar to giraffes, and the winning males win the right to mate with the females. The conservation status of the American giraffe rhinoceros is Near Threatened due to poaching, however, the population trend of American giraffe rhinoceros is actually increasing thanks to the help of conservationists.
