Emela-ntouka (SciiFii)

The emela-ntouka (Afroelasmotherium congolensis), also known as the African unicorn, is a species of elasmothere rhinoceros that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across Africa to help boost biodiversity. The emela-ntouka is one of the largest African rhinoceroses, with the females being 2.6 meters (8.5 feet) tall at the shoulder and weigh 3,232 kg (7,125 lb), while the males are slightly more than 4 meters (13 feet) tall and weigh about 6,500 kg (14,330 lb). The emela-ntouka is a mixed-feeding herbivore that primarily feeds on grasses, roots, tubers, leaves, pine needles, fruits, and nuts. The emela-ntouka is mostly a solitary animal that prefers to live throughout most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The reproductive lifestyle and lifecycle of the emela-ntouka is almost identical to those of white rhinoceroses (Ceratotherium). The conservation status of the emela-ntouka is Endangered due to some habitat loss and poaching, however, thanks to the conservationists, the emela-ntouka is a protected species and is making a comeback.
