Entelodon (SciiFii)

The terminator hippopotamus (Entelodon modernus, name meaning "modern complete teeth"), also known as the killer hippopotamus, hippo from hell, and, inaccurately, hog from hell or terminator pig, is a species of entelodont artiodactyl that originally lived in what is now Eurasia and North America during the Eocene through the Oligocene as an extinct species of Entelodon and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern open woodlands and grasslands of Eurasia and North America to help boost biodiversity. The terminator hippo is a rather large entelodont, with a large, bulky body, slender legs, and a long snout. It usually grows to be about 1.35 metres (4 ft 5 in) tall at the shoulders and weigh about as much as an American black bear (Ursus americanus). Although it is generally pig-like, the entelodonts like terminator hippos are actually most closely related to the whales and "true" hippopotamuses. It is a solitary omnivorous mammal that primarily feeds on roots, tubers, fruits, carrion, insects, and various small-to-medium-sized animals (except humans or domestic animals). The conservation status of the terminator hippopotamus is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the terminator hippo's wide range, and its tolerance to most of human activities, allowing terminator hippos to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
