Voay (SciiFii)

The Malagasy horned crocodile (Voay robustus) is a species of crocodile that originally lived from Madagascar during the Pleistocene and early Holocene, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to Madagascar to help boost biodiversity. Its name comes from the Malagasy word for crocodile. Its size, stature, and behavior is similar to the Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus), which lives in, not only mainland Africa, but also Madagascar. Because the Malagasy horned crocodile shares so many similarities with the Nile crocodile, there is a great deal of interspecific competition for resources between the two crocodile genera if they are to have coexist with one another. The conservation status of the Malagasy horned crocodile is Vulnerable due to some habitat loss and, historically, poaching, however, the Malagasy horned crocodile is recovering thanks to conservationists.
