Bathyopsis (SciiFii)

The porcine rhino-mimic (Bathyopsis scrofa) is a species of uintathere that originally lived in North America during the Eocene as an extinct species of Bathyopsis and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern rainforests, swamps, forests, and open woodlands of North America to help boost biodiversity. The porcine rhino-mimic is a very small rhino-like member of its family, growing on average of about 4.5 feet (1.4 meters) in length, 2.6 feet (80 centimeters) in shoulder height, and weighing around 100-180 kg, about the size of a large peccary. The legs and feet of the porcine rhino-mimic are robust and elephant-like, similarly to its larger relatives, despite being much smaller, and are equipped with hooves. The porcine rhino-mimic is a browsing herbivore that feeds on a wide range of fruits, leaves, pine needles, pinecones, nuts, ferns, and cycads. The tusks of the porcine rhino-mimics are mainly used for defense against predators and for males fighting during the breeding seasons. The porcine rhino-mimic is a somewhat social animal that lives in small herds consisting of up to about 12 individuals at a time. The conservation status of the porcine rhino-mimic is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the porcine rhino-mimic's wide range and its tolerance to most of human activities, including habitat loss, allowing it to survive and flourish in the wooded parts of the cities and suburbs, including city parks.
