Synthetoceras (SciiFii)

The forkhorn (Synthetoceras neotricornatus), or the fork-horn, is a species of protoceratid that originally lived in what is now North America during the Late Miocene, 10.3—5.3 Ma, existing for approximately 5 million years, and was once extinct as an extinct species, Synthetoceras tricornatus, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern forests, swamps, open woodlands, and grasslands of North America to help boost biodiversity. With a length of 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) and weighing about 300 kg, it is the largest member of its family. It is also one of the last, and is considered to have strangest set of horns of any the protoceratids. The two horns above its eyes look fairly normal and similar to those of many other modern horned mammals, but on its snout it has a bizarre, long horn with a forked tip that gives it a Y shape. Only males have this strange horn, and they normally use it in territorial and mating seasonal fights. The conservation status of the forkhorn is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the forkhorn's wide range, and its tolerance to human activities, in a manner similar to whitetail/mule deer, allowing the forkhorns to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
