Tusked peccary (SciiFii)

The tusked peccary (Tayagonus ceratodon) is a species of large peccary, most closely related to the collared peccary or javelina (Pecari tajacu), that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across the southwestern North America to help boost biodiversity. The tusked peccary is one of the largest peccaries of the region, growing up to about 75–80 centimeters (30–31 inches) in shoulder height, 150 centimeters (59 inches) in body length, and weighing 75–100 kilograms (165–220 lb). Male tusked peccaries have upward-pointing tusk-like canines that use to fight other males to claim a female harem. The tusked peccaries are very social species, patrolling the drylands in search of any edible food, from cacti leaves to carrion. The conservation status of the tusked peccary is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the tusked peccary's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
