Lundell's tapir (SciiFii)

Lundell's tapir (Tapirus lundeliusi) is a species of tapir that originally lived in North America during the Early Pleistocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced throughout southeastern United States to help boost biodiversity. Lundell's tapir is built very much like and is about the same size as the mountain tapir of South America, but with darker body fur and a dull orange "mask" over its face. Lundell's is a herbivore that primarily feeds on the forest and swamp vegetation. Like most tapirs, it is a solitary animal that spends most of its entire life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the Lundell's tapir is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the Lundell's tapirs' wide natural range, and its tolerance level towards human activities similar to those of whitetail/mule deer, allowing it to survive and flourish in parts of cities and suburbs.
