Picktooth (SciiFii)

The picktooth (Dolabrodon fossor), also known as the musk hare, is a species of large goat-sized lagomorph that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the open woodlands, grasslands, and shrublands across Africa to help boost biodiversity. The picktooth mainly feeds on low-growing herbs and roots, which it digs up with its very long tusk-like incisors and spurs. The picktooth has long spur-like claws on the fourth digit of each forefoot. As it runs only on the second and third toes of each foot, the spurs do not hinder it. The spurs of the picktooth are mainly used for, not only digging out roots or low-growing herbs, but also for defense against any potential predators and for males fighting other males during the breeding seasons. The picktooth usually lives in small herds of up to around 15 individuals at a time. The conservation status of the picktooth is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the picktooth's wide range, and its tolerance to most of human activities, including being able to adapt to life in parts of cities and suburbs.
