Borealopelta (SciiFii)

Borealopelta fulvusquamea, also known as the juggernaut, is a species of nodosaurid ankylosaur dinosaur that originally lived in Late Cretaceous North America as an extinct species, Borealopelta markmitchelli, and the genus was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern swamps, dense forests, and open woodlands of modern North America to help boost biodiversity. Borealopelta fulvusquamea is a rather large animal, growing to be about the size of a very large white rhinoceros. Despite its size, it is well-camouflaged thanks to its reddish-brown skin color with light yellowish-brown countershade to blend in with the forest environments it lives in. It also has armor on its back is primarily used for defensive rather than display purposes. Additionally, the spikes of Borealopelta fulvusquamea have a dual function as defensive weapons and display structures useful in attracting mates and in species recognition. It is a herbivore that primarily feeds on leaves, stems, wood, leptosporangiate ferns, cycads, and conifers, but can also feed on insect larvae (grubs, etc) and worms to supplement its diet. It is a social animal that can live in small herds of up to around 5 at a time. The conservation status of Borealopelta fulvusquamea is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the animal's wide range.
