Heliosus (SciiFii)

The American sun pig (Heliosus americanum), also known simply as the sun pig, is a species of helohyid mammal that originally lived from the middle Eocene Washakie Formation lower Adobe Town Member of Wyoming as an extinct species, Heliosus apophis, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. Despite its name or appearance, the American sun pig is not a pig, but a relative of whales, hippos, entelodonts, and relatives. The American sun pig has a large body that usually reaches 1 meter (3.3 feet) high at the shoulders and weighing between 232 to 706 kilograms on average, similar to wild boars. The American sun pig is an omnivore that primarily feeds on fruits, leaves, roots, tubers, shrubs, fungi, insects, and smaller vertebrates. The social structure of the American sun pig is very similar to those of the nonnative wild boars. The conservation status of the American sun pig is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American sun pig's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
