Yukon pronghorn (SciiFii)

A Yukon pronghorn (Nanoantilocapra yukonensis), also known as the pygmy pronghorn, is a species of pronghorn that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, taiga, and tundra habitats across North America to help boost biodiversity. The Yukon pronghorn is the second smallest species of pronghorn, growing to be about 27 inches (68 cm) at the shoulder and 28 pounds (12 kg) in weight. Like the common pronghorn (Antilocapra americana), the Yukon pronghorn primarily inhabits grassy plains with some shrubs and large trees for the Yukon pronghorns to take refuge in. The Yukon pronghorn is territorial and maintains its territory by urinating and defecating, standing or walking in an upright posture, and patrolling. Males become extremely aggressive during the breeding season. The Yukon pronghorn usually aggregates in herds of one to 15 females and young and one mature male. This species is therefore polygynous. This species is a browser, and gets most of its water from the food it eats, so it can utilize food sources a long distance from standing water. The conservation status of the Yukon pronghorn is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the Yukon pronghorn's wide range.
