Holmesina (SciiFii)

Holmesina modernus, also known as the common pampathere, is a species of pampathere, a group of armadillo-like creatures that are distantly related to extant armadillos, that originally lived in Pleistocene North and South America, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to both North and South America as part of Pleistocene rewilding and to boost biodiversity in both continents. Like armadillos, and unlike the other branch of megafaunal cingulates, the glyptodonts, the shell is made up of flexible plates which allows the animal to move more easily. The common pampathere is a herbivore that grazes on coarse vegetation; armadillos are mostly insectivorous or omnivorous. Common pampatheres are much larger than any armadillo: They can reach a length of 2 metres (6.6 feet), and weigh around 227 kilograms (500 lb), while the native modern giant armadillo does not attain more than 54 kilograms (119 lb). The common pampathere is normally a solitary animal and only comes with other common pampatheres during mating seasons. The conservation status of the common pampathere is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts.
