American tusked rhinoceros (SciiFii)

The American tusked rhinoceros (Neochilotherium floridanus) is a species of 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 tusked rhinoceros is a large, robust animal reaching 1.5-1.8 meters in shoulder height and a weight between 1 and 2.5 tons, depending on the population. Both sexes are hornless. The American tusked rhinoceros can be distinguished from other rhinoceroses by having a pair of large tusk-like lower incisors, which are used primarily for defense against predators and for males fighting each other for territory and/or for breeding season purposes, similarly to warthogs. Like many large rhinos, the American tusked rhinoceros is a mostly solitary rhinoceros species that spends most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the American tusked rhinoceros is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the American tusked rhinoceros' wide range.
