Juxia (SciiFii)

The common giraffe rhinoceros (Juxia equus), also known as the horse rhinoceros, is a species of indricothere, a group of herbivorous mammals part of the odd-toed ungulate family tree of rhinoceros and tapirs, that originally lived in Eocene Asia as an extinct species, Juxia sharamurenense, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, forests, swamps, and open woodlands across Asia to help boost biodiversity. The common giraffe rhinoceros is around the size of a horse, hence its name. As a primitive indricothere, the common giraffe rhinoceros has a relatively light body that is held by elongated long legs and small skull firmly attached to a relatively long neck. The common giraffe rhinoceros is a strict browser, feeding primarily on ferns, leaves, and fruits on branches where most herbivorous mammals of its range cannot reach. The common giraffe rhinoceros lives in small social groups, harems, of up to around 10 individuals at a time. Its long legs enable it to run relatively fast for a limited duration as a defense mechanism against many mammalian predators. The conservation status of the common giraffe rhinoceros is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the common giraffe rhinoceros' wide range.
