Nestoritherium (SciiFii)

The East Asian graver (Nestoritherium indicus) is a species of chalicothere that originally lived in Myanmar and China during the Late Miocene to the Early Pleistocene (11.6–0.781 mya) as an extinct species, Nestoritherium fuguense, and the genus itself was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern rainforests, wetlands, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across eastern and southeastern Asia to help boost biodiversity. At 2 metres (6.6 feet) high at the shoulder and a weight of 450 kilograms (990 lb), the East Asian graver is relatively large, and is built rather like a gorilla. Like many other members of the subfamily Chalicotheriinae, the East Asian graver walks on its knuckles to keep its three-fingered claws sharp, and it uses its claws for defense against predators and for pulling vegetation. The East Asian graver mainly feeds on fruits, leaves, soft nuts, and shrubs in herds up to around 9 at a time. Unlike most wild hoofed mammals of Eurasia, Africa, or North America, the East Asian graver is a docile and almost-tame animal towards humans, despite having claws on their front limbs, and there has never been a record of a East Asian graver injuring a human. The lifestyle and lifecycle of the East Asian graver is very similar to tapirs and ground sloths, other than being primarily diurnal and their tameness towards humans. The conservation status of the East Asian graver is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the East Asian graver's tolerance to most of human activities.
