Epieurycerus (SciiFii)

The Argentine bush-antlered deer (Epieurycerus proximus), also known as the American bush-antlered deer, is a species of deer that originally lived in South America during the Pleistocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced throughout the modern open woodlands grasslands, and shrublands across South America to help boost biodiversity, although some were accidentally introduced to the modern open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across Texas and New Mexico, possibly a result of escapees from game ranches. The Argentine bush-antlered deer is a large animal, growing to be nearly as large as an elk (Cervus canadensis) in shoulder height and weight. The Argentine bush-antlered deer is primarily a browsing animal and prefers to feed on leaves, pine needles, fruits, and shrubs, although it is known to graze in grasses. Like other deer species, the Argentine bush-antlered deer is a social animal that is known to live in herds consisting of up to around 50 individuals at a time. Like other deer, the babies have white spots all over their otherwise-dull brown bodies, to help the animals blend in with their surroundings to avoid predators until they are large and independent enough to fend for themselves. The conservation status of the Argentine bush-antlered deer is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the Argentine bush-antlered deer's wide range.
