Stockoceros conklingi (SciiFii)

The fork-horn buck (Stockoceros conklingi) is a North American species of artiodactyl family Antilocapridae, which originally lived during the Pleistocene and was once extinct since the Pleistocene, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced throughout the central and western parts of North America to help boost biodiversity. The fork-horn buck is the second smallest species of pronghorn, weighing in between 50-80 pounds, outsizing only the dwarf pronghorn (Capromeryx minor). Fork-horn bucks can live as long as 18 years in the wild. As social ungulates, fork-horn bucks form unisex herds that can number in the hundreds. during the rut, males form harems and battle each other for access to in-season females. They will graze peacefully alongside other herbivores such as elk, horses, bison, capybara, deer, peccaries, camels, and elephants, well as other antilocaprids. Fork-horn buck are diurnal, as their great vision allows them to see predators from as far away as three miles in the daylight; however, stationary things are difficult for them to discern, and they have only average hearing ability. Like many other species of pronghorns, the fork-horn buck can run very fast, although the fork-horn buck can run faster than most pronghorns, reaching speeds of 55-60 mph to escape from predators. The conservation status of the fork-horn buck is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the fork-horn buck's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
