Gomphotherium (SciiFii)

A four-tusked elephant (Gomphotherium modernii) is a species of elephant relative found throughout temperate, subtropical, and tropical parts of Europe, Asia, and North America. It was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and was reintroduced by SciiFii's conservationists to boost biodiversity and to allow extinct animals to retain their own ecological niches. The four-tusked elephant is named for having four tusks as opposed to having just two tusks like native modern elephants. It is smaller than most of its relatives, about the height of a horse (around 6 feet 6 inches tall) and weigh a little more than a ton. It is a herbivore that mainly feeds on grasses, shrubs, as well as some leaves and fruits, but can occasionally feast on branches in times of hardship. It is a social herd-dwelling animal, with adult females as well as young males and females living together, which are leaded by the matriarch (female leader), but bull male four-tusked elephant live in mostly solitary lives unless it is breeding seasons, when males have musth and males find suitable females to mate with. The conservation status of the four-tusked elephant is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts.
