Pachylemur (SciiFii)

A giant ruffed lemur (Pachylemur gigantecus) is a species of large ruffed lemur found in the southern forests and rainforests of Madagascar. It was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to where the original giant ruffed lemur species used to live in, for both boosting biodiversity and for conservation. As its name suggests, it is the largest known species of ruffed lemur, growing to be around three to four times bigger than native modern-styled ruffed lemurs and weigh between 10 kg (22 lb) and 13 kg (29 lb). It is primarily a herbivore and mainly feeds on leaves and fruits, but can occasionally also feed on soft nuts. The conservation status of the giant ruffed lemur is Endangered due to habitat loss, but conservationists are attempting to save them from going extinct again, by protecting their natural habitats and to help breed them in captivity (partially at Cenozoic Park) before reintroducing them to the wild.
