Northern hairy-legged vampire bat (SciiFii)

The northern hairy-legged vampire bat (Diphylla horridus) is a species of vampire bat that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout North America to help boost biodiversity. When SciiFii announced the recreation of this species, many people were concerned that this species could spread diseases and viruses, including rabies, however, thanks to SciiFii using genetic engineering, the northern hairy-legged vampire bats are completely immune to diseases and viruses, so they do not carry any known disease or viruses, making the northern hairy-legged vampire bats completely harmless unlike their South American relatives. It mainly feeds on the blood of wild birds, but can also feed both on domestic birds and humans. Additionally, its brain is smaller than that of the most other vampire bats, at two-thirds the size by mass. Its uropatagium is narrow and very furry; as its species name indicates, it lacks a tail. The fur on its back is dark brown, while the fur on its ventral surface is lighter in color. Its fur is soft and long. Its nose-leaf is greatly reduced in size relative to other leaf-nosed bats. It weighs 24–43 g (0.85–1.52 oz). It is polyestrous, with individuals capable of becoming pregnant throughout the year and no clearly defined breeding season. Females are capable of becoming pregnant at approximately one year of age. Pregnancy lasts a relatively long time considering the small body size of the species, at gestation length of 5.5 months. Females give birth to usually only one pup. The conservation status of the northern hairy-legged vampire bat is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the northern hairy-legged vampire bat's wide natural range and its tolerance to most of the human activities.
