Common sea elephant (SciiFii)

The common sea elephant (Sirenelephas americanum) is a species of elephant that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the North American lakes, rivers, brackish waters, and coastlines to help boost biodiversity. The common sea elephant is a very large pachyderm, growing up to about 7 meters (22 feet) in length and weighing around 6–8 tonnes (6.6–8.8 short tons). It has a thick layer of blubber, an adaptation to the cold waters of its environment. Its tail is forked, like that of whales or dugongs. Lacking true teeth, it has a short trunk and an array of white bristles on its upper lip and two keratinous plates within its mouth for chewing. It feeds mainly on kelp and freshwater plants, and communicates with sighs and snorting sounds. The common sea elephant is a monogamous and social animal living in small family groups and raising its young, similar to sirenians. Like manatees and dugongs, the common sea elephant is a docile and relatively tame animal. The conservation status of the common sea elephant is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the common sea elephant's wide range.
