Gastornis (SciiFii)

The Euroamerican thunderbird (Gastornis gigantea), also known as the American demon duck, the European demon duck, the Eurasian demon duck, and the false demon duck, is a species of large flightless bird that originally lived in what is now North America and Europe during the late Paleocene through Eocene epochs as extinct species of Gastornis and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern rainforests, swamps, forests, and open woodlands of both North America and Eurasia. It is a very large bird, and, at first glance, it may resemble a terror bird, but at closer glance it resembles more like Australian demon ducks (the close relative of the Euroamerican demon duck), hence its name, and it lacks the hooked claws and the sharp point on its beak found in terror birds, and, like Australian demon ducks, it is a herbivore that feeds mainly on tough plant material and seeds. The Euroamerican demon duck also uses its strong beak for defense against many of the predators, including big cats, bears, wild dogs, and others. It is solitary in most of its life except during breeding seasons, when males clash with each other with their strong beaks to win a win a right to mate, or if it's a mother with her hatchlings. The female Euroamerican demon duck lays around 30 eggs at a time, possibly more eggs than the original species, due to living in an environment with many predators and egg-eating animals. The conservation status of the Euroamerican demon duck is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the Euroamerican demon duck's wide range, and its same level of habitat loss tolerance as those of whitetail/mule deer, allowing its to survive and flourish in parts of the cities and suburbs.
