Santiagorothia (SciiFii)

The South American wombat (Santiagorothia americanus), also known as the South American hyrax, is a species of notoungulate mammal that originally lived from South America during the Miocene as an extinct species of Santiagorothia and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern rainforests, swamps, forests, and open woodlands of South America to help boost biodiversity. The South American wombat is a rather small animal, growing only to be about the size of a domestic cat when fully grown. It is named due to filling the similar ecological niche to the Australian wombats and African/Arabian hyraxes, being able to feed on a wide variety of vegetation and is a burrowing animal. It is a solitary animal that lives in most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation of the South American wombat is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the South American wombats' wide range and their tolerance to most of the human activities.
