Ekorus (SciiFii)

The leopard weasel (Ekorus africanus) is a species of large mustelid that originally inhabited late Miocene Kenya as an extinct species, Ekorus ekakeran, and was once extincg, but has since been been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern forests, open woodlands, and grasslands of Africa to help boost biodiversity. Standing 60 centimetres (2 ft) tall at the shoulders, its build is not similar to that of most other modern mustelids. Weasels have short legs and can only achieve short bursts of speed. The legs of leopard weasels are built like those of leopards, hence its name. The leopard weasel is built for climbing and chasing down its prey, such as antelopes, pigs, and small horses. The leopard weasel is a solitary animal for most of its life except during breeding seasons or if it's a mother caring for its young. The conservation status of the leopard weasel is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the leopard weasel's wide range.
