Merychippus (SciiFii)

Merychippus americanus, also known as the three-toed horse, is a species of proto-horse of the family Equidae that was originally endemic to North America during the Miocene, 15.97–5.33 million years ago, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and was introduced to modern North America to help boost the North American biodiversity. It can grow to be about 89 centimetres (35 inches) tall, weighing about 71 to 100.6 kiligrams, it has three toes on each foot, hence its name, and is the first horse known to have been a grazer, although it is mainly a mixed-feeder, feeding on fruits, leaves, and grasses. The three-toed horse is a social herd-dwelling animal that lives in groups up to about 20 in a single group at a time. The conservation status of the three-toed horse is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and three-toed horses' tolerance to most human activities.
