Notiomastodon

The **Brazilian elephant** (*Notiomastodon terrestris*) is a species of proboscidean part of the gomphotheres family that originally lived in South America from the Pleistocene to the Holocene and was once extinct, but has since brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern rainforests, swamps, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, and scrublands of South America to help boost biodiversity. It is one of two South American gomphotheres alongside *Cuvieronius*, and is the predominant gomphothere on the continent ranging widely over most of South America excluding the high Andes. It is a large animal that can grow to be around 2.52 meters (8 feet 3 inches) tall, with the weight of 4.4 tonnes (4.3 long tons; 4.9 short tons). The Brazilian elephant has two tusks (one on either side of its trunk), like other members of the Gomphotheriidae, and none on the lower jaw, as with other brevirostrine gomphotheres. Unlike close relative Cuvieronius, its tusks are not twisted, but their length and shape are observed as greatly variable depending on the individual, as is morphology more generally. It is a mixed-feeding herbivore that primarily feeds on C3 shrubs and C4 grasses, whilst also serving as a primary disperser of the seeds for a variety of different plant species. It is a social herd-dwelling animal, with adult females as well as young males and females living together, which are leaded by the matriarch (female leader), but bull male Brazilian elephants live in mostly solitary lives unless it is breeding seasons, when males have musth and males find suitable females to mate with. The conservation status of the Brazilian elephant is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and due to the Brazilian elephant's wide natural range.
Palaeeudyptes

The **great brown penguin** (*Palaeeudyptes modernus*), also known as the **sword-billed penguin**, is a species of large penguin that originally lived in what is now New Zealand during the Eocene as an extinct species of *Palaeeudyptes* and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern New Zealand, Tasmanian, and Australian coastlines to help boost biodiversity. It is larger than almost all native modern penguins, with the smallest subspecies being about the size of an emperor penguin and the largest ones standing about 2 meters tall. As both of its names suggests, it has dark brown feathers on its back that are almost black in color, and its beak is long and sword-like much like South American giant penguin species, used for spearing fish such as tuna and among other fish, as well as cephalopods such as humboldt squid. The conservation status of the great brown penguin is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the great brown penguin's wide range in Oceania, and its tolerance to both pollution and settlements on coastal areas.
North American mara

A **North American mara** (*Dolichotis americae*) is a relatively large rodent in the mara genus *Dolichotis* that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The North American mara is also known as the **northern giant cavy**, the **cavy hare**, or the **Mexican mara**. This animal may be rabbit-like, however it is not a lagomorph and is a true rodent. The North American mara has distinctive long ears and long limbs. Its hind limbs are longer and more muscular than its fore limbs and it has a longer radius than humerus. The feet are compressed, making them hoof-like. The fore feet have four digits while the hind feet have three digits. Its tail is short, depressed, and hairless. It has a gray dorsal pelage with a white patch on the rump separated from the dorsal fur by a black area. In addition, the North American mara has a white underside with a somewhat orange flank and chin. The average North American mara has a head and body length of 69–75 cm (27–30 in) with a tail of 4–5 cm (1.6–2.0 in). North American maras are largely herbivorous, they primarily feed on green vegetation and fruit. The average North American mara weighs around 8–16 kg (18–35 lb). It is monogamous, but often breeds in warrens shared by several pairs. The conservation status of the North American mara is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American mara's wide range and its tolerance to most of the human activities.
Ornated deernamou

The **ornated deernamou** (*Kevinornis ornata*), also known simply as the **deernamou**, is a species of medium-sized ground bird and is the only living member of the family Kevinornidae, most closely related to the tinamous, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the forests, wetlands, open woodlands, and bushlands across Tepui to help boost biodiversity. The ornated deernamous are larger than any species of tinamous, growing to be about 75 centimeters (2.4 feet) in length and reaching about 78 centimeters (2.5 feet) tall, although the females are larger, growing to be about 80 centimeters (2.6 feet) in both length and height. Unlike their relatives, the female ornated deernamous are larger than the males and display the same coloration, although the male ornated deernamous are still dominant over the females in their social structure. However, both sexes still take care of their eggs and young. Although ornated deernamous primarily feed on insects, wetland populations are the main pollinators of the Russel's pitcher (*Tepuiamphora russeli*), pollinating the pitcher plants with their beaks, carrying the pollen as a result, in exchange for nectar. The conservation status of the ornated deernamou is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts.
North American umbrellabird

A **North American umbrellabird** (*Cephalopterus americanum*) is a species of umbrellabird that originally did not exist, but have since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. With a total length of around 50 centimeters (19.5 inches), the North American umbrellabird is among the largest members of the cotinga family and one of the largest passerines in South America. It is almost entirely black, and has a conspicuous crest on the top of its head, vaguely resembling an umbrella (hence its common name). It has a short, yet inflatable wattle on the neck, which serves to amplify its loud, booming calls. This wattle is shorter than in most other umbrellabirds, reaching a length of about 11 centimeters (4 inches). North American umbrellabirds produce one of the deepest songs (less than 300 Hz) among passerines. Females resemble males, but are noticeably smaller and have a reduced crest and wattle. They feed primarily on fruits, large insects and occasionally small vertebrates (e.g. lizards). The males gather in loose leks, where they call and extend their wattle to attract females. The flimsy nest is built entirely by the females, which incubate and raise the chicks without help from the males. The conservation status of the North American umbrellabird is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American umbrellabird's wide range and, unlike most other umbrellabirds, its tolerance to many of the human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
Notocompsognathus

The **red-faced hobgoblin** (*Notocompsognathus rubercephala*) is a species of non-avian compsognathid dinosaur that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and, unlike most Mesozoic-type non-avian theropod dinosaurs, have been intentionally introduced to Eurasia, Africa, North America, and South America to help boost biodiversity. The red-faced hobgoblins are small compared with most flightless non-avian theropods, only growing to be about the size of domestic cats and weigh around the same. The red-faced hobgoblins are omnivorous and primarily feed on fruits, leaves, roots, tubers, grasses, insects, smaller vertebrates, carrion, and man-made food, thanks to, not just its complex digestive tract, but also its teeth design unlike most other compsognathids (having not only sharp serrated teeth, but also flat incisors and molars), giving it a more rodent-like form of feeding than a more traditional bird-like form of feeding of most theropods. The red-faced hobgoblin is a solitary animal for most of its life, except during breeding seasons or if the red-faced hobgoblin has found a mate, becoming mates for life, caring for each other and their offspring. The conservation status of the red-faced hobgoblin is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the red-faced hobgoblin's wide range, and its tolerance to most of human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
North American agouti

The **North American agouti** (*Dasyprocta borealis*), also known as the **northern agouti**, is a species of agouti from the family *Dasyproctidae* that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, marshlands, forests, meadows, open woodlands, and grasslands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The North American agoutis weigh about 3 to 6 kilograms (6.6 to 13.2 lb). They are about 19 to 25 inches (48 to 64 cm) long. In this species the females are larger than males but otherwise look similar. They are brownish with darker spots on the upper body. The fur becomes slightly more orange as it goes past (going down) the middle area of the animal, but isn't as vibrant as those of the red-rumped agouti (*Dasyprocta leporina*), one of the closest living relatives of the North American agouti. The ears are somewhat square in shape. The front feet have 4 toes and the back have 3. They can be distinguished from other agoutis by their distinct coloring. These animals have no distinct breeding season, and females generally have about 1 to 3 young. The gestation period is 98 to 106 days. On average, it takes 20 weeks for the young to be weaned. They live in pairs or family groups of the parents and little ones. They need large areas for food, breeding, and territory. It is hard to keep the animal in captivity for that reason. Most animals in the family *Dasyproctidae* mate once or twice, and this is presumed to be true for this species as well. This species usually lives to be around 17-24 years in captivity, although reports of North American agoutis living to be 30 years or so have been recorded. The conservation status of the North American agouti is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American agouti's wide range, its immunity against any kind of diseases and viruses, and its tolerance to most of human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
North American mole lizard

The **North American mole lizard** (*Bipes americanum*) is a species of amphisbaenian in the family Bipedidae that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, scrublands, and deserts across North America to help boost biodiversity. The North American mole lizard is brownish-yellow animal and is a rather large member of its family, growing to be about 27–36 cm (10.6–14.1 in) in snout-to-vent length (SVL) and 9–10.5 mm (0.35–0.41 in) in width. It lives for six to nine years. Its skin is closely segmented to give a corrugated appearance, and like earthworms, its underground movement is by peristalsis of the segments. Its blunt head allows it to burrow into sandy soils efficiently. The forelegs are strong and paddle-like, while the hind legs are nonexistent, leaving behind only vestigial bones visible in X-rays. The tail is autotomous without any regeneration. Due to not having the development of its ears, like the closely-related Mexican mole lizard (*Bipes biporus*), the North American mole lizard has its skin transmit vibrations to the cochlea. The North American mole lizard is an opportunist carnivore and eats ants, termites, ground-dwelling insects, larvae, earthworms, and small vertebrates including smaller lizards. It usually pulls its prey underground to start its meal. The species is a generalist predator that feeds on easily accessible prey found in soil, debris, dirt, mud, and sand,. The North American mole lizard usually bites and chews the prey items rather than swallowing them whole. Like other amphisbaenians, the North American mole lizard is a burrowing species that usually surfaces at night or after heavy rain. It uses its autotomous tail as an escape tactic for predators. Losing a part of the tail while burrowing can plug up the hole behind it, giving it time to escape. The North American mole lizard is oviparous, and the females lay three to nine eggs in midsummer. The species mainly breeds underground. The eggs hatch after two months. The conservation status of the North American mole lizard is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American mole lizard's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Pachyrhinosaurus V1

***Pachyrhinosaurus mammuthamo*** (name meaning "mammoth-like thick-nosed lizard") is a species of woolly brown herbivorous centrosaurine ceratopsid dinosaur that originally came from the Late Cretaceous period of North America and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and now lives in **Cretaceous Safari** located at **Cretaceous Park**. *Pachyrhinosaurus mammuthamo* can grow to be 8 metres (26 feet) long and weigh about four tonnes. *Pachyrhinosaurus mammuthamo* mainly feeds on fruits, leaves, nuts, seeds, cycads, ferns, horsetails, and bark. In summer, *Pachyrhinosaurus mammuthamo* has short fur-like feather coverings, in winter, the feather coverings grow longer to keep the animal warm in cold winters of California.
Northern leopard seal

The **northern leopard seal** (*Hydrurga leptonyx marinus*) is a subspecies of leopard seal (*Hydrurga leptonyx*) that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the oceans and coastlines across the central and nothern hemisphere to help boost biodiversity. The northern leopard seal has a distinctively long and muscular body shape when compared to other seals, but it is best known among the "true" seals of the northern hemisphere for its reptilian-like head and massive jaws which are enormous for its body size and which allow it to be one of the top predators in its environment. The front teeth are sharp like those of other carnivores, but their molars lock together in a way that allows them to sieve krill from the water in the manner of the crabeater seal. The coat is counter-shaded with a silver to dark gray blend and a distinctive spotted "leopard" coloration pattern dorsally and a paler, white to light gray color ventrally. Females are slightly larger than males. The overall length of adults is 2.4–3.5 meters (7.9–11.5 feet) and weight is from 200 to 600 kilograms (440 to 1,320 lb) making them the same length as the saber-toothed walrus (*Odobenus rosmarus*) but usually less than half the weight. The whiskers are short and clear. As "true" seals, they do not have external ears or pinnae, but possess an internal ear canal that leads to an external opening. Their hearing in air is similar to that of a human, but northern leopard seals also use their ears in conjunction with their whiskers to track prey under water. Northern leopard seals are very vocal underwater during the austral summer. The northern leopard seal is carnivorous and usually eat mostly krill, squid and fish. Adult seals probably switch from krill to more substantial prey, including California, Florida, and Galapagos penguins, auks, and less frequently, sea lions, harbor, grey, ring, harp, ribbon, monk, hooded, and young northern elephant seals and walrus calves. Northern leopard seals are also known to take fur seal pups. Northern leopard seals' breeding system is polygynous, meaning that males mate with multiple females during the mating period. A sexually active female (ages 3–7) can give birth to a single pup or two during the summer on the floating ice floes of the pack ice or in coastlines, with a sexually active male (ages 6–7). Mating occurs from December to January, shortly after the pups are weaned when the female northern leopard seal is in estrus. In preparation for the pups, the females dig a circular hole in the ice or in soil as a home for the pup. A newborn pup weighs around 66 pounds and are usually with their mother for a month, before they are weaned off. The male northern leopard seal does not participate in taking care of the pup, and goes back to its solitary lifestyle after the breeding season. The conservation status of the northern leopard seal is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the northern leopard seal's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Otterman

The **otterman** (*Homolutria bipodus*) is a species of mustelid in the subfamily Lutrinae that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii. The closest living relative of the ottermen are sea otters (*Enhydra lutris*). The ottermen of both genders look very similar, but with a few differences, the males have slightly darker brown fur than those to the females', and the males have an Adam's apple, similar to those found on male humans, giving them the masculine voices compared with the female ottermen's feminine voices. Unlike other otters, the ottermen are able to, not only stand and their back legs, but are also able to walk and run upright due to the specialized ankles and hip bones similar to those of humans, giving them a humanoid appearance. The ottermen are medium-sized, growing to be about 4.7 feet (1.4 meters) tall on average. The otterman is an omnivore that feeds on a wide range of edible food sources, including man-made food. The otterman is a social animal that has a similar lifestyle to human species, including *Homo sapiens*, being a sapient animal that has many different cultures, language (including English), science, etc, also similarly to humans. The conservation status of the otterman is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the otterman's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities, allowing it to be able to work and live with humans and other highly intelligent species.
Ocnopus

The **linear ground sloth** (*Ocnopus striatus*) is a species of ground sloth that originally lived in what is now Brazil during the Late Pleistocene as an extinct species of *Ocnopus* and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction SciiFii and reintroduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, and open woodlands across South America to help boost biodiversity. It is a rather large animal and can grow to be about the size of a large brown bear on average. Like other ground sloths, the linear ground sloth is a browser which uses both its strong, clawed front limbs and strong lips to grab vegetation, which primarily consists of leaves, fruits, and other kinds of vegetation. The conservation status of the linear ground sloth is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the linear ground sloth's wide natural range.
North American spiny-tailed iguana

The **North American spiny-tailed iguana** (*Ctenosaura americanum*), also known as the **northern spiny-tailed iguana**, the **North American ctenosaur**, and the **American spiny-tailed lizard**, is a species of iguana that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, scrublands, and deserts across North America to help boost biodiversity. The North American spiny-tailed igauna is one of the largest members of the genus *Ctenosaura*. The males are capable of growing up to 1.3 meters (4 feet 3 inches) in length and the females are slightly shorter, at 0.8–1 meter (2 feet 7 in–3 ft 3 inches). They have a crest of long spines which extends down the center of the back. Although coloration varies extremely among individuals of the same population, adults usually have a whitish gray or tan ground color with a series of 4–12 well-defined dark dorsal bands that extend nearly to the ventral scales. Males also develop an orange color around the head and throat during breeding season with highlights of blue and peach on their jowls. North American spiny-tailed iguanas are excellent climbers, and prefer a rocky habitat with plenty of crevices to hide in, rocks to bask on, and nearby trees to climb. They are diurnal and fast moving, employing their speed to escape predators but will lash with their tails and bite if cornered. The Guinness Book of World Records lists the North American spiny-tailed iguana, along with the black spiny-tailed iguana (*Ctenosaura similis*), as one of the world's fastest "natural" lizard, with a maximal sprint speed of 34.6 km/h. The North American spiny-tailed iguanas are primarily herbivorous, eating flowers, leaves, stems, and fruit, but they will opportunistically eat smaller animals, eggs and arthropods. Juveniles tend to be insectivores, becoming more herbivorous as they get older. They are known to eat the fruit and live in the limbs of various trees that are highly poisonous to most other animals. The conservation status of the North American spiny-tailed iguana is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American spiny-tailed iguana's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
North American cotinga

The **North American cotinga** (*Neocotinga sciifii*) is a species of cotinga that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, marshlands, forests, and open woodlands across North America (making it one of, if not, the only cotinga of North America) to help boost biodiversity. The North American cotinga is a small bird, growing on average between 340 and 420 grams (12 and 15 oz) and is typically around 40 centimetres (16 in) long. As with many other members of the cotinga family, this species is herbivorous, but it has also been recorded feeding on insects. It is known for its bright red and orange feathers present in males, while females are dull brown in color, as the males use their bright colors to attract the females, similarly to many of the South American cotingas. The North American cotinga can make vocals sounding very identical to the calls made by the spangled cotingas in most of the year, however, during breeding seasons, the males make loud songs almost identical to those made by screaming pihas and New World blackbirds, Montezuma oropendolas, in order to impress the mates. The North American cotinga is a solitary animal in most of its life except during the breeding seasons or if it has a mate of its own species. The conservation status of the North American cotinga is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American cotinga's wide range and its tolerance to most of human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
Osteodontornis

The **common bony-toothed bird** (*Osteodontornis communis*) is a species of seabird of the family Pelagornithidae. It originally lived in the Miocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to modern coastlines worldwide to help boost the declining biodiversity. With a wingspan of 5.5 to 6 metres (18 to 20 ft) and a height of 1.2 metres (3.9 ft) when on the ground, the common bony-toothed birds and similar giant pseudotooth birds are the largest flying birds known, surpassed only by the teratorn Argentavis. Like its relatives, it has a stout but extremely light-boned body, feet that are webbed as in its aquatic relatives, and long and very narrow wings resembling those of an albatross. Its beak makes up about three-quarters of the head's length and has bony tooth-like serrations that are hollow. The beak is so heavy the common bony-toothed bird has to hold it between its shoulders while in flight, just like native modern pelicans do. In general lifestyle, it is most similar to the albatrosses, tropicbirds and frigatebirds native to modern times, with long slender wings adapted for soaring vast distances over the open seas. Due to its size, the bird is an excellently adapted dynamic soarer. It builds its nest on high plateaus or similar places, where it can easily take flight by simply walking into the wind with wings spread. It lives mainly off squid and other soft-bodied prey; the "teeth" are less saw-like than the horny serrations on the beak of the fish-eating saw-billed ducks (Merginae), pointing straight downwards instead. The downward-pointing "teeth" are ideal for digging into and holding slippery, soft-skinned pelagic animals such as cephalopods that are snatched out of the water in flight or while swimming. Lightly built as it is, the common bony-toothed bird is not a good diver and found it impossible to dive at all. The conservation status of the common bony-toothed bird is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and due to people cleaning out plastics from the oceans.
Northern hoatzin

The **northern hoatzin** (*Opisthocomus fragilus*), sometimes nicknamed the "**zebrabird**", is a species of hoatzin that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The closest living relative of the northern hoatzin is the southern hoatzin (*Opisthocomus hoazin*) of South America. The northern hoatzin is pheasant-sized, with a total length of 65 centimetres (26 inches), and a long neck and small head. It has an unfeathered grey face with dull blue eyes, and its head is topped by a spiky, pale crest. The long, dark gray tail is a broadly tipped buff. The upper parts are dark, grey-edged buff on the wing coverts, and streaked buff on the mantle and nape. The under parts are buff, while the crissum (the undertail coverts surrounding the cloaca), primaries, underwing coverts and flanks are rich gray with white patterns, hence the nickname "zebrabird", but this is mainly visible when it opens its wings. The northern hoatzin is a herbivore, feeding primarily on leaves, fruits, seeds, and pinecones, and has an unusual digestive system with an enlarged crop used for fermentation of vegetable matter, in a manner broadly analogous to the digestive system of mammalian ruminants. The alternative name of "stinkbird" is derived from the bird's foul odour, which is caused by the fermentation of food in its digestive system. This is a noisy species, with a variety of hoarse calls, including groans, croaks, hisses and grunts. These calls are often associated with body movements, such as wing spreading. Northern hoatzins are seasonal breeders, breeding from late spring to early summer. Northern hoatzins are gregarious and nest in small colonies, laying three or four eggs in a stick nest in a tree hanging over water in seasonally flooded forests. The chicks, which are fed on regurgitated fermented food, have another odd feature; they have two claws on each wing. Immediately on hatching, they can use these claws, and their oversized feet, to scramble around the tree branches without falling into the water. When predators such as the red-tailed hawk attack a northern hoatzin nesting colony, the adults fly noisily about, trying to divert the predator's attention, while the chicks move away from the nest and hide among the thickets. If discovered, however, they drop into the water and swim under the surface to escape, then later use their clawed wings to climb back to the safety of the nest. The claws are its secondary adaptation from its frequent need to leave the nest and climb about in dense vines and trees well before it can fly. The conservation status of the northern hoatzinnis **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the northern hoatzin's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
North American rain frog

The **North American rain frog** (*Americabreviceps rotundus*) is a species of frog in the family Brevicipitidae (which are otherwise exclusive to Africa), that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, lakes, rivers, and ponds across North America to help boost biodiversity. The closest living relative of the North American rain frog is the similarly-looking Cape rain frog (*Breviceps gibbosus*). The North American rain frog primarily lives underground and usually emerges just before rains (hence its common name). It may also be seen in misty or damp conditions. Its burrowing provides a role in aerating soil in the where the species lives. It feeds on worms, slugs, snails, small insects, and small spiders. When alarmed, it increases its apparent size by swallowing air. As burrowing frogs, they have thick, muscular legs, which enable them to burrow for shelter. This species does not require open water to breed; in fact, it is a poor swimmer and will drown if placed in deep water. During mating season, males make calls, similarly to those made by the bushveld rain frog (*Breviceps adspersus*), from beneath vegetation or from their burrows so that the females can locate them. Since he is too small to get a firm grip on the female, she secretes a sticky liquid that glues him to her back. Fertilisation takes place in a burrow that the female has dug where groups of approximately 22 eggs are laid. They lay fertile eggs and jelly capsules, which provide moisture for the developing froglets. The females will remain burrowed near the eggs until they become young froglets without undergoing the tadpole stage. The conservation status of the North American rain frog is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American rain frog's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
North American hairy frog

The **North American hairy frog** (*Neotrichobatrachus americanus*) is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae (which are otherwise exclusive to Africa), that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, lakes, rivers, and ponds across North America to help boost biodiversity. The closest living relative of the North American hairy frog is the similarly-looking African hairy frog (*Trichobatrachus robustus*). The North American hairy frog, like the African hairy frog, is named due to the fact that the species has somewhat hair-like structures on the body and thighs of the breeding males. These contain arteries and increases the surface area for the purpose of absorbing oxygen (comparably to external gills of the aquatic stage), which is useful as the male stays with his eggs for an extended period of time after they have been laid in the water by the female. Males are about 10–13 centimeters (4–5 inches) long from snout to vent, while females are 8–11 centimeters (3–4.5 inches). The species is terrestrial, but returns to the water for breeding, where egg masses are laid onto rocks in streams. The quite muscular tadpoles are carnivorous and feature several rows of horned teeth. Adults feed on slugs, snails, earthworms, leeches, myriapods, spiders, beetles, cockroaches, crickets, and grasshoppers. The North American hairy frog is, like the African hairy frog, also notable in possessing retractable "claws", which it may project through the skin, apparently by intentionally breaking the bones of the toe. These are not true claws, as they are made of bone, not keratin. In addition, there is a small bony nodule nestled in the tissue just beyond the frog's fingertip. When sheathed, each claw is anchored to the nodule with tough strands of collagen. When the frog is grabbed or attacked, it breaks the nodule connection and forces the sharpened bones through the skin. The claws later retract passively, while the damaged tissue is regenerated. The conservation status of the North American hairy frog is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American hairy frog's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
North American ground hornbill

The **North American ground hornbill** (*Neobucorvus psudeocommunis*), also known as the **American ground hornbill**, is a species of hornbill that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across North America to help boost biodiversity, making it one of the only species of hornbill of the New World. The North American ground hornbill is one of the largest species of hornbill worldwide, at 90 to 129 cm (2 feet 11 in to 4 ft 3 inches) long. Females weigh 2.2 to 4.6 kilograms (4.9 to 10.1 lb), while the larger males weigh 3.5 to 6.2 kilograms (7.7 to 13.7 lb). The North American ground hornbills are carnivorous and mostly hunt on the ground, where they find the majority of their food. This food ranges from insects to small animals. Their nests are often found in high in tree cavities or other shallow cavities, such as rock holes in cliff faces. These birds are a long lived species of wild birds, having lifespans in the range of 50–60 years, and up to 70 in captivity. In relation to their long lives, they do not reach sexual maturity until 4–6 years old, and begin breeding around 10 years old. Their sex can be identified by the color of their throats, where the male's is pure violet and the female's is a deep blue. The conservation status of the North American ground hornbill is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American ground hornbill's wide range and its tolerance to most of the human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
Pakasuchus

The **leopard crocodile** (*Pakasuchus paradus*) is a species of notosuchian crocodyliform that originally lived approximately 105 million years ago, in the mid-Cretaceous in what is now the Galula Formation of Rukwa Rift Basin of southwestern Tanzania, as an extinct species, *Pakasuchus kapilimai*, and the genus itself was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across Africa to help boost biodiversity. The leopard crocodile is a rather small crocodyliform, growing to be around 50 centimetres (20 inches) long. It has a short, broad skull somewhat similar in shape to a cat. Unlike many crocodilians, the leopard crocodile has distinctive heterodont teeth that varies in shape throughout its jaws. The leopard crocodile also differs from many of the crocodilians, and many other crocodyliforms, in the reduction of osteoderms covering the body. Small, reduced osteoderms overlays the dorsal vertebrae, but fewer in number and are not as large as those of other notosuchians. However, caudal osteoderms still covers the tail. The loss of osteoderms on the body and retention of them on the tail is unique among crocodyliforms. Like all notosuchians, it is an active, omnivorous terrestrial animal and it primarily feeds on vegetation and small prey such as insects. Leopard crocodiles are oviparous, with females laying clutches of 20 to 71 eggs once per year during a synchronized nesting period. The female leopard crocodile gives no parental protection after egg laying, apart from defending the nesting burrow during excavation. The hatchlings emerge from the nest after 10–15 weeks of incubation. Once hatched, the young leopard crocodiles look similar to the adults in shape, but with more dull coloration. Juveniles stay in familial groups for the first year of their lives. Male leopard crocodiles in these groups often use their own bodies to shield and protect females from predators, and it appears to be among the only reptiles to do this. The conservation status of the leopard crocodile is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the leopard crocodile's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
North American rhinoceros iguana

The **North American rhinoceros iguana** (*Sinacyclura rhinoceros*), also known as the **mainland rhinoceros iguana**, the **American rhinoceros iguana**, and simply the **rhinoceros iguana** or the **rhino iguana**, is a species of iguana that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, scrublands, and deserts across mainland North America to help boost biodiversity. As among the largest iguanas of North America, the North American rhinoceros iguana can vary in length from 60 to 136 centimetres (24 to 54 in), and skin colours range from a steely grey to a dark green and even brown. Their name derives from the bony-plated pseudo-horn or outgrowth which resembles the horn of a rhinoceros on the iguana's snout, and they vaguely resemble the endangered Caribbean rhinoceros iguana (*Cyclura cornuta*), hence their names. Although quick to flee when attacked or threatened, the North American rhinoceros iguanas will aggressively attack by biting and repeatedly striking with their thick tail if cornered. The North American rhinoceros iguana is primarily herbivorous, consuming leaves, flowers, berries, and fruits from different plant species. North American rhinoceros iguanas do appear to be opportunistic carnivores as they are known to prey on smaller lizards, snakes, insects, and, rarely, carrion. The conservation status of the North American rhinoceros iguana is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American rhinoceros iguana's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Nothosaurus

***Nothosaurus alba*** (name meaning "white false lizard") is a species of sauropterygian reptile that originally lived from the Triassic period, approximately 240-210 million years ago, in North Africa and Eurasia as an extinct species of *Nothosaurus* and the genus itself was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and now lives in the **Triassic Dinosaurs** section of **Cretaceous Park** located at Sacramento, California. *Nothosaurus alba* is a semi-oceanic animal which has a lifestyle similar to that of seals. It is, on average, about 4 metres (13 feet), with long, webbed toes and a paddle-shaped fin on its tail. When swimming, *Nothosaurus alba* uses its tail, legs, and webbed feet to propel and steer it through the water. The skull is broad and flat, with long jaws, lined with needle teeth, which it uses to catch fish and other smaller marine creatures. *Nothosaurus alba* digs into soft seabed with rowing motions of their paddles, churning up hidden benthic creatures that they snap up. Once caught, few animals are able to shake themselves free from the mouth of *Nothosaurus alba*. Like crocodilians, the jaws of *Nothosaurus alba* have a rather strong bite force, but the jaw muscles for opening are weak, and thus couldn't open their jaws if they are force shut by objects or other animals such as humans wrapping or gripping their jaws tightly. In many respects its body structure resembles that of the more advanced plesiosaurs, but it is not as well adapted to an aquatic environment. *Nothosaurus alba* is largely solitary and often lives alone except during the breeding seasons.
North American jabiru

The **North American jabiru** (*Jabiru americanus*) is a species of large stork, most closely related to the South American jabiru (*Jabiru mycteria*), that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, open woodlands, lakes, riverbanks, and ponds across North America to help boost biodiversity. The adult North American jabiru is 120–140 cm (47–55 inches) long, 2.3–2.8 meters (7.5–9.2 ft) across the wings, and can weigh 4.3–9 kg (9.5–19.8 lb). Sexual dimorphism is high, one of the highest of any stork, with males being about 25% larger than females. Males weigh an average of 6.89 kg (15.2 lb) whereas females weigh an average of 5.22 kg (11.5 lb). Large males may stand as tall as 1.53 meters (5.0 ft). The North American jabiru is a carnivore and eats prodigious quantities of fish, molluscs, and amphibians. It will occasionally eat reptiles, bird eggs and small mammals. It will even eat fresh carrion and dead fish, such as those that die during dry spells, and thus help maintain the quality of isolated bodies of water. They feed in flocks and usually forage by wading in shallow water. North American jabirus detect prey more through tactile sensation than vision. They feed by holding their open bill at a 45 degree angle to the water. When prey is contacted, the storks close their bill, draw it out of the water, and throw their head back to swallow. It is an opportunistic feeder. The nest of sticks is built by both parents around August–September (in the Southern Hemisphere) on tall trees, and enlarged at each succeeding season growing to several meters in diameter. Nests are often deeper than they are wide, they can be up to 1 meters (3.3 feet) wide and 1.8 meters (5.9 feet) deep. Half a dozen nests may be built in close proximity, sometimes among nests of herons and other birds. The parents take turns incubating the clutch of two to five white eggs and are known to more territorial than usual against other North American jabirus during the brooding period. Raccoons, adapiform primates, and other storks (including their own species) are occasion predators of North American jabiru eggs, but most nest predators appear to avoid these huge-billed birds and there are no known predators of healthy adult jabirus. Although the young fledge around 110 days old, they often spend around another 3 months in the care of their parents. Because of this long length of time spent brooding, pairs have difficulty breeding in successive years. Less than half of active pairs in one season are active the next season. Only 25% of successful pairs are successful the next season. The lifespan average in the wild is 36 years, but the lifespan can be almost 50 years in captivity. The conservation status of the North American jabiru is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American jabiru's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Merycoidodon

The **oreodont** (*Merycoidodon modernus*), also known as the **Oreodon**, is a species of herbivorous artiodactyl of the family Merycoidodontidae that originally lived in what is now North America during the Late Eocene to Early Miocene (46—16 mya) existing for approximately 30 million years, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern swamps, forests, open woodlands, and grasslands of North America to help boost biodiversity. Despite its slight resemblance to sheep and goats without horns, it is actually most closely related to camels. It is a medium-sized animal that can grow to be about 1.4 metres (4.6 ft) and weigh about as much as a farm pig. It also has full set of teeth, unlike native modern ruminants, although the molars are adapted for grinding up tough vegetation. Just like deer, oreodonts have scent glands in front of their eyes used for marking territory. Oreodonts live in large herds and move about from place to place. They have a predilection for well-watered regions, where food is plentiful and succulent, in a manner similar to zebras on the serengeti plains. The conservation status of the oreodont is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the oreodont's wide range, and its tolerance to most of human activities, including habitat loss, allowing it to survive and flourish in the wooded parts of the cities and suburbs, including city parks.
North American guinea pig

A **North American guinea pig** (*Cavia dumos*), also known as the **North American cavy** and the **North American plains cavy**, is a species of rodent belonging to the genus *Cavia* in the family Caviidae that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The North American guinea pig is a medium-sized species, growing to a total length of 247 mm (9.7 in). The colour varies in different parts of the range; in Texas, the dorsal fur is dark reddish-brown mixed with black, and the underparts are dark buffy-grey; in California, the dorsal surface is pale agouti brown with paler underparts; in Florida, the upper parts are agouti olive and the underparts creamy-white or white. The North American guinea pig is a herbivore and feeds on grasses and other herbs. It is diurnal, mainly emerging in the early morning to forage and again in the evening. It does not dig a burrow, but makes an intricate maze of surface tunnels that are 8 to 12 cm (3 to 5 in) wide. It has latrine areas beside the trackways where piles of bean-shaped droppings can be seen, as can piles of cut grass stems. has a gestation period around 63 days. Litter size ranges from one to five, and the young grow quickly, becoming mature at two months of age. The conservation status of the North American guinea pig is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American guinea pig's wide range and its tolerance to most of the human activities.
Pacific razorbill

The **Pacific razorbill** (*Alca californianus*) is a species of colonial seabird in the genus *Alca*, most closely related to the Atlantic razorbill (*Alca torda*), that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the coastlines of the Pacific parts of North America to help boost biodiversity. The Pacific razorbills are primarily black with a white underside. The male and female are identical in plumage; however, males are generally larger than females. This agile bird, which is capable of both flight and diving, has a predominantly aquatic lifestyle and only comes to land in order to breed. The diet of the Pacific razorbill is very similar to that of the Atlantic razorbill, and its diet consists generally of mid-water schooling fish such as capelin, sand lance, juvenile cod, sprats, and herring. It may also include crustaceans and polychaetes. The Pacific razorbill has a more flexible dietary and habitat preferences than the Atlantic razorbill, and thus it is a more adaptable seabird. It is monogamous, choosing one partner for life. Females lay one egg per year. Pacific razorbills nest along coastal cliffs in enclosed or slightly exposed crevices. The parents spend equal amounts of time incubating, and once the chick has hatched, they take turns foraging for their young. The conservation status of the Pacific razorbill is **Least Concern** to due to successful conservation efforts and the Pacific razorbill's wide range.
