Sabertooth salmon (SciiFii)

The sabertooth salmon (Oncorhynchus rastrosus) is a species of salmon that originally lived along the Pacific coast of North America, first appearing in the late Miocene in California, and was once extinct since some time during the Early Pliocene, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern eastern Pacific Ocean off the coast of North America to help boost biodiversity. The adult sabertooth salmon grow to be 2.29 m (7.5 ft) in length and are anadromous like their relatives. Besides being the largest member of the Pacific salmon genus Oncorhynchus, members of this species have a pair of small "fangs" protruding from the tip of the snout, thus explaining the common name. Beyond their fangs, adult sabertooth salmon have larger gill rakers compared to their smaller relatives, as they primarily feed on plankton in their oceanic life.
