Sivatherium giganteum (SciiFii)

The Asiatic moose-horned giraffe (Sivatherium giganteum), also known as the Asiatic moose-horned okapi, is a species of large-horned giraffid that originally lived in Asia during the Late Miocene to Early Pleistocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern forests, open woodlands, and grasslands of India to help boost biodiversity. It is a rather large animal, growing to be about 2.2 meters (7.2 feet) tall at the shoulder, 3 meters (9.8 feet) in total height with a weight up to 400–500 kg (880–1,100 lb). The moose-horned giraffe is named for its horns, which resembles antlers of a moose, and those horns are used by moose-horned giraffes for jousting with one another in a manner similar to deer. Other than that, they are very similar in behavior to okapis, being essentially solitary, coming together only to breed. Like other modern giraffids, they are primarily diurnal, but may be active for a few hours in darkness. The moose-horned giraffes are herbivores, feeding on tree leaves and buds, grasses, ferns, fruits, and fungi. The conservation status of the Asian moose-horn giraffe is Vulnerable due to poaching, however, the conservationists have since protected them and their populations have since started to increase.
