Homalocephale (SciiFii)

Homalocephale modernus (name meaning "modern even head") is a species of non-avian bipedal dinosaur that originally lived in what is now Mongolia during the Late Cretaceous, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back by SciiFii. Homalocephale modernus was originally planned to be implemented in Cretaceous Park, but on September 9, 2039, in one of SciiFii's animal shelters in Sacromento, California, an unidentified human intruder broke into the animal shelter and released the entire herd of 23 Homalocephale modernus into the wilderness, possibly as a form of animal rights protest (despite the fact that SciiFii's animals were all genetically engineered and bred to flourish and be in no stress in captivity). Ever since the release, Homalocephale modernus populations have increased from just 23 to more than 500,000 in the last few decades, thanks to their prolific nature and being fast runners from most predators, making it a common sight in the wilderness and in rural areas (farmlands) across California, Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona, sometimes seen in suburban and urban areas. Homalocephale modernus is an omnivore, feeding mainly on fruits, leaves, shrubs, grasses, roots, tubers, bulbs, insects, spiders, scorpions, and small vertebrates, but can also feed on carrion and rarely man-made food to supplement their diets. During mating seasons, the males' tops of their heads turn bright red and the males do a mating dance similar to those of superb birds-of-paradise. The eggs are laid around 2 weeks after mating seasosns, and the eggs hatch around 3-4 months after being laid by their mothers, the young grow up quickly to adulthood around 2-4 months and become sexual mature around the same time. The lifespan of the Homalocephale modernus is around 50-75 years, longer than most native prey animals of the western United States. It is also a very curious animal, it is known to interact with man-made equipement, such as cars, and it is completely tame towards humans, despite being a wild animal, likely as a result of combinations of genetic engineering and lack of humans hunting them.
