Tetrameryx irvingtonensis (SciiFii)

The fork-ox (Tetrameryx irvingtonensis, or, due to its larger size and possibly niche, Tetrameryx gigas) is a species of the North American artiodactyl family Antilocapridae, known from Mexico, the western United States, and Saskatchewan. The fork-ox was once extinct since the Pleistocene, but it has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced throughout the open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, scrublands, deserts, and taiga habitats to help boost biodiversity. The fork-ox is a very large species of pronghorn, growing to be about 3.5-4.5 feet tall at the shoulders, 6.5-8 feet long, and weigh between 300-600 pounds. Ecologically, the fork-ox occupies a niche in the North American wilderness that is similar to that of the wildebeests of Africa. The fork-ox is a mixed feeder. it mainly eats shrub leaves, grasses, and cacti. They will also eat the blooms of dogwood and other trees where they can find them. Populations in the deep south have learned that kudzu is always a good option to go with. they will feed alongside other herbivores, such as mammoths, capybaras, deer (elk, etc), musk-oxen, shrub-oxen, wood-oxen, camelids, other pronghorn species, horses, bison, and among other herbivores. The conservation status of the fork-oxen is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the fork oxen's wide natural range and its tolerance to most of the human activity.
