Gigantotapiratherium (SciiFii)

The tapir-nosed giraffe rhinoceros (Gigantotapiratherium megalopoda) is a species of large indricothere rhinoceros that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across Asia to help boost biodiversity. The tapir-nosed giraffe rhinoceros is one of the largest known land mammals alive in prehistory and today, growing to be about 17.3 feet tall at the shoulders, 28 feet long from nose tip to tail tip, and weigh about 20 tons, although the Asian straight-tusked elephant is bigger. The tapir-nosed giraffe rhinoceros can be distinguished from other indricotheres by having large, mobile, elephant-like ears to cool its body down in the hottest part of the day, and by having a tapir-like trunk for gripping onto vegetation. It is solitary animal in most of its life, except during breeding seasons, when males clash with other males in a manner similar to giraffes, and the winning males win the right to mate with the females. The conservation status of the tapir-nosed giraffe rhinoceros is Near Threatened due to poaching, however, the population trend of tapir-nosed giraffe rhinoceros is actually increasing thanks to the help of conservationists.
