Desert rabbuck (SciiFii)

The desert rabbuck (Ungulagus flavus) is a species of large deer-sized lagomorph that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the scrublands and deserts across North Africa and Southwest Asia to help boost biodiversity. The desert rabbuck usually grows to around 2 meters high and has a deep sandy brown coat with an brownish-orange stripe running down its back, a yellowish-tan underbelly, and small black spots running down its sides and upper front legs. Desert rabbucks are normally found in small herds of between 3 and 7 individuals. The rabbucks may resemble deer or antelopes at first glance or at closer glance, but has a rabbit-like jaw with similar-looking teeth, along with bushy rabbit-like tail and tall ears. Unlike rabbits and much like deer, the desert rabbucks are not designed for jumping often and instead built into long-shanked running legs. The outer digits atrophied and the second and third toes grew into hooves, strong enough to bear the animal's weight. The desert rabbucks are herbivorous and primarily feed on grasses, shrubs, leaves, fruits, nuts, and several kinds of desert plants. The conservation status of the desert rabbuck is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the desert rabbuck's wide range, and its tolerance to most of human activities, including being able to adapt to life in parts of cities and suburbs.
