Long-legged tapir (SciiFii)

The long-legged tapir (Giraffataprius litocrania), also known as the long-necked tapir and the giraffe tapir, is a species of tapir that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, scrublands, and deserts across North America to help boost biodiversity. The long-legged tapir is a medium-sized species, standing around 50 cm (1.8 feet) tall at the shoulder. It has a build more resembling a gazelle, an impala, or a springbok than its pig-like cousins, and it is adapted for fast running in open plains, with long slender legs and three-toed hoofed feet that bare most of its weight on the middle digit. Like its relatives, it has a short trunk-like nose used for grabbing vegetation. It is a solitary animal in most of its life except during the mating seasons. The conservation status of the long-legged tapir is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the long-legged tapir's wide range.
