Puma pardoides

The **Eurasian puma** (*Puma pardoides*), also known as the **Eurasian cougar** and, sometimes, the **Owen's panther**, is a species of cat that originally lived in, as its name suggests, Eurasia during the Pliocene and the Pleistocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced throughout Eurasia to help boost biodiversity. Like the American cougar species, *Puma concolor*, the Eurasian cougar is an adaptable, generalist species, occurring in most Eurasian habitat types. The Eurasian cougar is the four-largest cat in the Old World after the lion, the tiger, and the cave lion. Secretive and largely solitary by nature, the Eurasian cougar is properly considered both nocturnal and crepuscular, although daytime sightings do occur. Despite its size, the Eurasian cougar is more closely related to smaller felines, including the domestic cat, than to any species of subfamily Pantherinae. The Eurasia cougar is an ambush predator that pursues a wide variety of prey. Primary food sources are ungulates, particularly deer. It also hunts species as small as insects and rodents. It prefers habitats with dense underbrush and rocky areas for stalking, but can also live in open areas. The Eurasian cougar is territorial, and survives at low population densities. Individual territory sizes depend on terrain, vegetation, and abundance of prey. While large, it is not always the apex predator in its range, yielding prey it has killed to leopards, Asiatic black bears, sloth bears, brown bears, Chinese alligators, crocodiles, dholes, and to groups of gray wolves or golden jackals. It is reclusive and mostly avoids people. The conservation status of the Eurasian cougar is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the Eurasian cougar's wide natural range and its tolerance to most of the human activities.
Phiomia

***Phiomia africanus*** (name meaning "African saw-toothed animal of Faiyum"), also known as the **pig elephant**, is a species of basal proboscid that originally lived in what is now Northern Africa during the Late Eocene to Early Oligocene some 37-30 million years ago and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to modern African savannas, jungles, and wetlands to help boost Africa's biodiversity. The pigs elephant is normally around 2.5 metres (8.2 fet) high and weigh around 1 ton when fully grown. It resembles a true elephant, but with a considerably short trunk, it also has short tusks on the upper jaw and short shovel-like tusks on the lower jaw that are used for gathering food. The conservation status of the pig elephant is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts.
Platyhystrix

***Platyhystrix modernus*** (meaning "flat porcupine of modern times") is a species of temnospondyl amphibian with a distinctive sail along its back, similar to the unrelated synapsids, *Dimetrodon* and *Edaphosaurus*, that first lived in in late Carboniferous and early Permian and was once extinct, but has been brought back through genetic engineering by SciiFii. Some of the Platyhystrix were intended to be located in **Reptile House** of **Paleozoic Park**, located in Downey, California, however some of the Platyhystrix were accidentally introduced to modern North America outside of captivity after several pairs of Platyhystrix escaped through burrowing underneath their planned exhibits, and ever since they now live throughout wilderness and human settlements of western United States. Platyhystrix is a solitary animal in most of its time and is largely carnivorous, feeding mainly on arthropods, worms, leeches, small fish, smaller amphibians, small lizards, small snakes, baby birds, eggs, small mammals, and carrion, but can occasionally feed on fruits, fungi, and man-made food to supplement its diet. The sail of the Platyhystrix is used for regulating its body temperature and, during the breeding season, the males' sails become bright in color to attract the mates.
Parasaurolophus V4

***Parasaurolophus ursinus*** is a species of herbivorous ornithopod dinosaur that originally lived in what is now North America and possibly Asia during the Late Cretaceous Period, about 76.5–73 million years ago and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and, unlike Sciifii's first *Parasaurolophus* species, have been intentionally introduced throughout the forests, swamps, and open woodlands to help boost biodiversity. *Parasaurolophus ursinus* is a herbivore, mainly feeding on fruits, leaves, cycads, ferns, and horsetails, that walks both as a biped and as a quadruped. It is a hadrosaurid, part of a diverse family of Cretaceous dinosaurs known for their range of bizarre head adornments. This species is known for its large, elaborate cranial crest, which at its largest forms a long curved tube projecting upwards and back from the skull. Its crest is used for visual recognition of both species and sex, acoustic resonance, and thermoregulation. It is a herd-dwelling animal and lives in groups up to about 25 at a time. The conservation status of *Parasaurolophus ursinus* is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the animal's wide range and its tolerance to most of human activities.
Polar cat

The **polar cat** (*Panthera martimus*), also known as the **ice cat**, **sea cat**, **polar tiger**, and the **Arctic tiger**, is species of big cat that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced to the Arctic tundra and oceans to help boost biodiversity. The polar cat is the only known member of the Panthera genus of the Arctic. The polar cat is able to swim in a manner similar to a polar bears and its coat resembles that of a white tiger, albeit either with few thin stripes or without any stripes, depending on an individual. Its body is covered in blubber, which keeps it warm from cold weather. The polar cat is a solitary carnivore and primarily feeds on fish, crabs, seals, and, occasionally, small whales. The conservation status of the polar cat is **Vulnerable** due to some habitat loss and historic poaching, however, the conservationists have worked their best in protecting this species, allowing this species to make a comeback.
Palaeotapirus

The **prehistoric tapir** (*Palaeotapirus primas*) is a species of tapir that originally lived from the Late Miocene of Eurasia as an extinct species of *Palaeotapirus*, hence its name, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, marshlands, forests, and open woodlands across mainland Eurasia to help boost biodiversity. The prehistoric tapir is a rather medium-sized animal and can usually grow to be about the size of a large domestic dog. Unlike most tapirs, the prehistoric tapir lacks a prehensile trunk and instead has a more primitive rhino-like nose. It is also almost entirely terrestrial due to the fact that it doesn't have as much adaptations for an amphibious lifestyle compared with most other tapirs. Like other tapirs, however, the prehistoric tapirs are browsing herbivores that primarily feed on nuts, seeds, fruits, leaves, and shrubs. Like many tapirs, it is a solitary animal that prefers to spend most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the prehistoric tapir is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the prehistoric tapir's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Paradise pigeon

The **paradise pigeon** (*Carpoenas paradisea*) is a species of fruit dove that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests of New Guinea to help boost biodiversity. The paradise pigeon is the largest of all known fruit dove species, growing to be about the size of a Nicobar pigeon, measuring 40 cm (16 in) in body length. The paradise pigeon is a shy and inconspicuous bird, camouflaged against the forest canopy by its green plumage. It is usually seen alone or in pairs, but a sizable flock may gather when feeding at a fruit tree. It eats fruit directly from the tree, or from the ground if items have been dropped by hornbills or arboreal mammals. Like other doves, but unlike most birds, it can drink by sucking. The calls made by paradise pigeons consists mainly of a soft, low coo. The conservation status of the paradise pigeon is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts.
Pelycodus

The **American golden lemur** (*Pelycodus aureus*) is a species of lemur-like adapiform strepsirrhine primate, despite its name, that originally lived from the Early Eocene in what is now North America and Europe as two extinct species, *Pelycodus jarrovii* and *Pelycodus danielsae*, and the genus itself was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern rainforests, forests, swamps, and open woodlands across the southwestern, southern, southeastern, and eastern regions of North America to help boost biodiversity. The American golden lemur is a medium-sized adapiform, growing to be about 3.4 feet (41 inches) in length, including the tail, and weighing around 6.3 kilograms (13 lbs) on average. The American golden lemur is primarily an arboreal and quadrupedal frugivore, feeding primarily on fruits and small nuts, although it also feeds on seeds and insects for proteins. The American golden lemur lives in multi-male groups with some females, and males form dominance hierarchies. Males participate in caring for and protecting infants. Infants are born at any time of year after a gestation period of between 162 and 180 days. The American golden lemur has a maximum lifespan of about 30 years in the wild, although the captive specimens can live to be around 35 years. The conservation status of the American golden lemur is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American golden lemur's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Palaeotherium

The **horse-mimic** (*Palaeotherium equumimus*) is a species of perissodactyl ungulate that originally lived from the Mid Eocene to earliest Oligocene of Europe as an extinct species, *Palaeotherium magnum*, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern rainforests, swamps, forests, and open woodlands throughout Eurasia to help boost biodiversity. The horse-mimic is a rather large horse-sized animal, usually growing up to around 4 feet 11 inches tall at the shoulder, but sometimes can grow to about 5 feet 6 inches tall at the shoulder. The horse-mimic is relatively robust with long legs and three-toed fore and hindfeet. The forelimbs are proportionally longer than the hindlimbs. Elongated but robust tarsal and carpal bones allow a cursorial locomotion in this species, similarly to horses. The cervical vertebra are also elongate, giving the horse-mimic a relatively long neck. It is a solitary browsing animal that feeds primarily on leaves, fruits, and even soft nuts. The conservation status of the horse-mimic is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the horse-mimic's wide range, and its relatively high tolerance to habitat loss, similarly to whitetail/mule deer, allowing it to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
Phenacodus

The **horsedog** (*Phenacodus primaevus*) is a species of Phenacodontidae mammal that originally lived from the late Paleocene through middle Eocene, about 55 million years ago in what is now North America and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern rainforests, swamps, forests, and open woodlands of North America to help boost biodiversity. It is one of the most primitive of the ungulates, typifying the family Phenacodontidae and the order Perissodactyla, growing only to be about 1.5 m (4.9 ft) long and weigh up to 56 kg, of slight build, with straight limbs each terminating in five complete toes, and walking in the digitigrade fashion of the horse. The horsedog is cursorial and herbivorous, feeding primarily on grasses, leaves, fruits, roots, tubers, shrubs, and other kinds of vegetation. Depending on an individual doghorse, it is either a solitary animal or it lives in small herds conisting of around 10 animals in a single group. The conservation status of the horsedog is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the horsedog'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.
Phoberomys

The **greater pacarana** (*Phoberomys pattersoni*), also known as the **Patterson's pacarana**, is a species of giant hystricognath rodent that originally lived in what is now South America during the Miocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern rainforests, swamps, marshlands, forests, and open woodlands of Central America and South America to help boost biodiversity. The greater pacarana is one of the largest living rodent on Earth, usually growing on average of about 9.8 feet (3 meters) long (including the tail) and weigh between 250 and 700 kg (550 and 1,540 lb), it is second only to the giant pacarana as the biggest rodent species. It is a docile herbivore that primarily feeds on reeds, grasses, leaves, fruits, nuts, seeds, and other kinds of edible vegetation. It rests on its haunches while feeding, using its smaller forelimbs to gather plant material. The greater pacarana's hind limbs are massive, but its front limbs are comparatively slender, causing the animal's centre of gravity to be located toward the back. This allows the animal to be able to occasionally stand on its back legs to reach for some of its food sources. It is a social animal that can live in herds of up to around 20 individuals at a time. The conservation status of the greater pacarana is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the greater pacarana's wide range (with the Central American populations also expanding upwards towards North America), and its tolerance to most of human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburb.
Praemegaceros

The **Sardinian deer** (*Praemegaceros cazioti*) is a species of megacerine deer which originally lived on both Sardinia and Corsica from Middle to Late Pleistocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to Sardinia and Corsica to help boost biodiversity. Just like other deer, the females live in herds while males are more solitary. The Sardinian deer is mainly a grazer and is found all over both Sardinia and Corsica. Interestingly, the Sardinian deer descends to the rocky shores and beaches, looking for salt crusts and minerals on the rocks and feed on them. This helps the males grow their magnificent antlers. The conservation status of the Sardinian deer is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the Sardinian deer's wide natural range.
Priosphenodon

The **giant tuatara** (*Priosphenodon giganteum*), also known as the **Argentine tuatara**, is a species of rhynchocephalian reptile, related to the New Zealand tuatara (*Sphenodon punctatus*), that originally lived from the Late Cretaceous of Argentina as an extinct species of *Priosphenodon* and the genus itself was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout Argentina to help boost biodiversity. As its name suggests, the giant tuatara is the largest known rhynchocephalian, growing on average of about 3 feet (one metre) long and weigh about as much as a small dog. It is a herbivore that primarily feeds on leaves, fruits, vegetables, roots, tubers, bulbs, cycads, ferns, horsetails, using its specialised teeth for shearing plant matter. It is the one of the few known reptiles to have developed high resistance tooth enamel as also seen in mammals. It is a solitary animal that spends throughout most of its entire life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the giant tuatara is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the giant tuatara's wide range.
Pied macaw

The **pied macaw** (*Ara noctis*) is a species of medium-sized macaw that originally did not exist, but has been since created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the swamps, forests, open woodlands, shrublands, and scrublands throughout the United States and Mexico to help boost biodiversity. The pied macaw is about the size of a large scarlet macaw (*Ara macao*). The pied macaw is known for its dark blue, almost black feathers on its tail, wings, back, and the top parts of its head, as well as having pale white feathers on its underbelly, breast, neck, and on its face. It is an omnivore that primarily feeds on insects, larvae, snails, nuts, fruits, seeds, flowers, nectar, and, occasionally, cacti flesh (in more arid reigons). Pied macaws make very loud, high and sometimes low-pitched, throaty squawks, squeaks and shouts designed to carry many kilometers to call for their groups. Like other macaws, they are known to mimic human speech if they're raised in captivity. The pied macaw can live up to 75 or even 90 years in captivity, although a more typical lifespan is 40 to 50 years. The conservation status of the pied macaw is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the pied macaw's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Protoceratops V1

***Protoceratops oviraptorisaurus*** (name meaning "egg-thieving first horned face lizard") is a species of medium-sized omnivorous ceratopsian dinosaur, from the Upper Cretaceous Period (Campanian stage) that was once extinct and originally lived in what is now Mongolia, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and now lives in **Cretaceous Park** located in Sacramento, California. It is a member of the Protoceratopsidae, a group of early horned dinosaurs. Unlike later ceratopsians, however, it is a much smaller creature, about the size of a sheep (about 1.8 metres long), it lacks well-developed horns and retained some primitive traits not seen in later genera. *Protoceratops oviraptorisaurus* has a large neck frill which is used as a display site to impress other members of the species, with males' frill turning bright red during mating seasons. Unlike its depictions in popular media (which may be outdated or inaccurate), *Protoceratops oviraptorisaurus* is an omnivore that mainly feeds on carrion, smaller animals, roots, tubers, and eggs (being the true egg thief towards eggs of oviraptorids, dromaeosaurs, troodonts, among other dinosaur eggs, the complete opposite of its portrayal in pop culture), only feeding on fruits and leaves during times when meat is hard to find and/or catch. In fact, the staff of Cretaceous Park were testing *Protoceratops oviraptorisaurus* in **Cretaceous Safari** as they thought these ceratopians would would get along with other herbivores/omnivores, but some *Protoceratops oviraptorisaurus* killed some smaller animals and stole a few eggs of other dinosaurs, so they were quickly relocated to their own exhibit, **Protoceratops: Egg Thieves of Mongolia**.
Quaesitosaurus

***Quaesitosaurus equucephalus*** (meaning "horse-headed extraordinary lizard") is a species of nemegtosaurid sauropod that originally lived in Mongolia during the Late Cretaceous as an extinct species, *Quaesitosaurus orientalis*, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern swamps, forests, open woodlands, forests, and scrublands of China and Mongolia to help boost biodiversity. It has a long, low and horse-like head, hence its scientific name and its meaning, with frontally located peg-teeth used for striping leaves off of branches as it feeds on them. It is a social animal that lives in herds up to around 50 at a time, usually led by a dominant matriarch female, much like elephants. The conservation status of *Quaesitosaurus equucephalus* is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and its wide range across China and Mongolia.
Siberian gazelle

The **Siberian gazelle** (*Progazella altaicus*) is a species of Asian gazelle, most closely related to members of the genus *Procapra*, and is the only extant member of the genus *Progazella*. The Siberian gazelle originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the temperate, boreal, and alpine open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across Siberia and eastern Europe to help boost biodiversity. The Siberian gazelle is a relatively small gazelle; it stands 60–70 centimeters (24–28 inches) at the shoulder. Males weigh 20–35 kilograms (44–77 lbs), while the slightly lighter females weigh 15–25 kilograms (33–55 lbs). Facial characteristics of the Siberian gazelle include white rings around the eyes, black stripes running from a corner of the eye to the nose, rufous stripes running from the horns to the nose, a dark patch on the nose, and a light forehead. The coat is thick and dark brown; a black band runs across the flanks, from the upper foreleg to just above the upper hind leg. A buff band occurs above the black stripe. Short, black streaks mark the white rump. The black tail measures 15–27 centimeters (5.9–10.6 inches). Males have well-developed preorbital glands near the eyes, which are used for scent-marking territories. Both sexes possess horns that curve slightly backward with the tips facing forward. The horns, highly ringed, measure 25–43 centimeters (9.8–16.9 inches) in males and 7–15 centimeters (2.8–5.9 inches) in females. A small fast antelope, the Siberian gazelle is claimed to have top speeds up to 80–90 km/h (50–55 mph). It is the one of the fastest large land mammals, after the cheetah (its main predator), pronghorn, springbok, and Thomson's gazelle. Siberian gazelles are mixed feeders. In spring, they eat mainly fresh grasses, but during the summer and fall seasons, they eat more browse, particularly foliage from woody plants bushes and herbaceous forbs. In winter, they may feed on branches, nuts, and pine cones to sustain themselves until spring. In the winter, they are mostly diurnal, but in the summer, they are active shortly after sunrise and before sunset. Siberian gazelles are social and the groups usually consists of 20-30 individuals in the summer, and 100 in the winter. However, herds up to 5,000 individuals are not unusual. The mating season is in the late autumn or winter; at this time, the males' throats swell in a goiter-like effect. Competition is vigorous, but fights rarely break out. The gestation period lasts for about 5-6 months. Births occur is June and July, when groups of dozens of females separate from the herd to give birth, rejoining the herd afterward. They usually give birth to a single young and occasionally twins. They weigh about 3 kilograms and can keep up with their mother after a few days. They will be able to mate after 17-18 months. The conservation status of the Siberian gazelle is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the Siberian gazelle's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Proagriocharis

The **pygmy crested turkey** (*Proagriocharis cristata*), also known as the **dwarf crested turkey**, the **pheasant turkey**, and the **quail turkey**, is a species of turkey that originally lived during the Pliocene in what is now Nebraska as an extinct species, *Proagriocharis kimballensis*, 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 central and western United States to help boost biodiversity. The pygmy crested turkey is one of the smallest known living species of turkeys, with adult males ranging in length from 26 to 30 inches and weigh between 4 and 7 pounds. Adult females are smaller, ranging in length from 19 to 23 inches and weighing between 2 and 4 pounds. In these respects, the pygmy crested turkey is comparable in size to the Greater sage-grouse. The pygmy crested turkey is known for its olive-green upper back and wings, deep brown lower back and rump, pale gray tips of its wings and the base of its banded tail feathers, banded black and white underbelly and breasts, a dark, almost black, green neck, a white "mask" over its face, and, as its name suggests, three tall feather crests on its head. Males have taller, more brightly-colored head crests than the females, which have more dull brown head crests. Pygmy crested turkeys are largely vegetarian for much of the year consuming pine nuts, pine shoots, bamboo shoots and seeds. They are highly insectivorous during the warmer months that coincide with nesting and chick-rearing. During this phase of their life cycle they live almost exclusively on insects but also are documented consuming catkins, pollen and fruit. They are one of the few gamebirds that regularly fly uphill and are capable of sustained flights of many miles. They are monogamous with a slight tendency toward social polyandry. Both parents rear the chicks. The conservation status of the pygmy crested turkey is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the pygmy crested turkey's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Moropus

***Moropus coloradonensis*** (meaning "Colorado slow foot"), also known as the **American graver**, is a species of perissodactyl ("odd-toed" ungulate) mammal that part of the family called chalicotheres, which originally lived in Miocene North America from ~20.4—13.6 Mya, existing for approximately 6.8 million years, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to modern North America to help boost North America's biodiversity. The American graver resembles a cross between an Ancylotherium and a Chalicotherium, but it only walks flat-footed like an Ancylotherium. Like all chalicotheres, it is a browsing herbivore that mainly feeds fruits, leaves, soft nuts, and shrubs. It can live in small herds up to around 9 at a time. Unlike most wild hoofed mammals of North America, the American graver is a docile and almost-tame animal towards humans, despite having claws on their front limbs, and there has never been a record of an American graver injuring a human. The lifestyle and lifecycle of the American graver is very similar to tapirs and ground sloths, other than being primarily diurnal and their tameness towards humans. The conservation status of the American graver is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the American graver's tolerance to most of human activities.
Protosphyraena

The **Cretaceous swordfish** (*Protosphyraena gladius*), also known as the **Mesozoic swordfish**, is a species of swordfish-like marine fish of the family Pachycormidae that originally lived throughout the world's oceans during the Upper Cretaceous Period (Coniacian-Maastrichtian) as an extinct species of *Protosphyraena* and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern world's oceans to help boost biodiversity. The Cretaceous swordfish is a large fish, averaging 2–3 metres in length, although some Cretaceous swordfish can grow slightly larger to about 3.5 meters in length. In its general body plan, it resembles a sailfish and a true swordfish, though it is smaller with a shorter rostrum, is somewhat less hydrodynamic, and adults possesses large blade-like teeth (adults of true swordfish species are toothless). The Cretaceous swordfish is a carnivore that is known for being steady at cruising and it primarily feeds on any squid, ammonite, crustaceans, and fish smaller than itself, although it can occasionally also feed on carrion to supplement its diet, filling the niche similar to both swordfishes and scavenging sharks. The conservation status of the Cretaceous swordfish is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the Cretaceous swordfish's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Pinta Island tortoise

The **Pinta Island tortoise** (*Chelonoidis abingdonii*), also known as the **Pinta giant tortoise**, **Abingdon Island tortoise**, or **Abingdon Island giant tortoise**, is a species of Galápagos tortoise native to Ecuador's Pinta Island that was once extinct since the death of Lonesome George, but after the discovery of first-generation hybrids of Pinta Island tortoises and due to SciiFii extracting DNA of deceased Pinta Island tortoises such as Lonesome George himself, the 100% purebred Pinta Island was brought back after being extinct for some time. In the wild, like all species of Galápagos tortoises, the Pinta Island tortoises rest about 16 hours a day. Pinta Island tortoises are herbivores, feeding primarily on greens, grasses, native fruit, and cactus pads. They drink large quantities of water, which they can then store in their bodies for long periods of time for later use. They can survive up to six months without food or water. For breeding, the wild Pinta Island tortoises are most active during the hot season (January to May). During the cool season (June to November), female tortoises migrate to nesting zones to lay their eggs. Galápagos giant tortoises, including the Pinta Island species, represent the top herbivores in the Galápagos, and as such they shape the entire island ecosystem. They provide critical ecosystem services by dispersing seeds and by acting as ecological engineers through herbivory and nutrient cycling. The conservation status of Pinta Island Tortoise is **Vunerable** due to the now-extinct goats, pigs, mice, and rats on the Galápagos, who once hunted baby tortoises and ate their eggs, but thanks to their eradication by conservationists, the Galápagos giant tortoises, including the Pinta Island tortoises, are now invasive predator-free once more. Due to demand for pet tortoises much bigger than African spurred tortoises, SciiFii created a new subspecies of Pinta Island tortoises known as the **Galápagos domestic tortoise** (*Chelonoidis abingdonii domesticus*), which is only slightly bigger than its wild ancestors on average, and are about as easy to care for as the African spurred tortoises, therefore, it is a common large reptilian pet.
Prolibytherium

The **bush-horned giraffe** (*Prolibytherium*) is a genus of climacoceratid artiodactyl ungulate that originally lived from the Middle Miocene North Africa and Pakistan, from around 16.9 to 15.97 million years ago, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern forests, open woodlands, and grasslands of Africa and the Middle East to help boost biodiversity. The bush-horned giraffe is a medium-sized animal, growing to be around 1.80 metres (5 ft 11 in) long. It largely resembles an okapi or a deer. Unlike these, however, it displays dramatic sexual dimorphism, in that the male has a set of large, leaf-shaped ossicones with a width of 35 centimetres (14 in), while the female has a set of slender, horn-like ossicones. It is a herbivore that primarily feeds on fruits, leaves, shrubs, melons, squashes, seeds, and ferns. The bush-horned giraffe is a social animal that lives in small herds of up to around 4 at a time. The conservation status of two species of bush-horned giraffe is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the bush-horned giraffe's wide range and its tolerance to most of human activities.

Pterofiltrus

***Pterofiltrus sanguisadversus*** is a species of ctenochasmatid pterosaur that originally lived from the Early Cretaceous of western Liaoning, China, as an extinct species, *Pterofiltrus qiui*, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii. *Pterofiltrus sanguisadversus* is a rather small pterosaur, having a wingspan of only about 3.3 feet (1 meter) across on average. Like other ctenochasmatids, it is a suspension feeders, using its teeth to filter small prey items from the water, mud, and weeds. It is a solitary animal that spends throughout most of its entire life alone except during the breeding seasons. *Pterofiltrus sanguisadversus* is found throughout North America and Eurasia, descended from the ones that escaped from the warehouse in New York City after the SciiFii Pterosaur Incident occurred in October 12, 2039, as a result of a group of unidentified criminals, probably either street gangs or terrorists, who released them after the failed attempt to steal them for possible use of war animals. *Pterofiltrus sanguisadversus* is an adaptable animal, capable of thriving in hot and cold climates, humid and arid environments, and can flourish in a life in the cities and suburbs.
Protocetus

The **false mosawhale** (*Protocetus sciifii*, name meaning "SciiFii's first whale") is a species of primitive cetacean that originally lived from Egypt during the middle Eocene period 45 million years ago and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to modern coastlines of Africa to help boost biodiversity. The false mosawhale is only 2.5 meters long and very primitive. It still has some hair on its body (akin to a hippopotamus) has webbed fingers on the front limbs, nostrils that are only on top of its front muzzle area, and its tail has a primitive fluke. Due to its primitive features, it is not found in the open oceans and is unable to compete with more advanced whales, instead, it is only found in the more shallow oceans and estuaries. The conservation status of the false mosawhale is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts.
Phoenicopterus minutus

The **California flamingo** (*Phoenicopterus minutus*) is a species of flamingo that originally lived in California during the Late Pleistocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced throughout the modern wetlands, lakes, rivers, and ponds across California to help boost biodiversity. The California flamingo is the smallest species of flamingo, though it is still a tall and large bird by most standards. The species can weigh from 1.1 to 2.7 kg (2.4 to 5.0 lb). The standing height is around 76 to 83 cm (30 to 31 inches). The California flamingo's plumage is very pale pink. When perched, a small amount of dark red can be seen in the wings; these are the flight feathers. White skin occurs around the eyes, which are bright pale yellow in adults. The legs are brick red and the bill is bright pink with a black tip. Like all flamingos, they lay a single chalky-white egg on a mound they build of mud. California flamingo chicks join creches soon after hatching, sometimes numbering over 100,000 individuals. The creches are marshalled by a few adult birds that lead them by foot to fresh water, a journey that can reach over 20 mi (32 km). The conservation status of the California flamingo is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the California flamingo's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Qinglongopterus

***Qinglongopterus zebrapteryx*** is a species of rhamphorhynchine rhamphorhynchid pterosaur that originally lived from the mid-to-late Jurassic in Mutoudeng, Qinglong County, Hebei Province, China, as an extinct species, *Qinglongopterus guoi*, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii. *Qinglongopterus zebrapteryx* is a carnivore, feeding on a wide range of insects and spiders. It is normally a solitary animal, but during breeding seasons, males often try to find females, and if successful, they become mates for life. *Qinglongopterus zebrapteryx* is found throughout Asia and North America as a result of the SciiFii Pterosaur Incident, which occurred on October 12, 2039, and was caused by unidentified criminals and their failed attempt to steal pterosaurs for wars, but unintentionally released the pterosaurs out of the exhibits and into the modern world. *Qinglongopterus zebrapteryx* is a very common species, not in risk of extinction, due to being an adaptable animal that is able to live in cities and suburbs, not just the wilderness.
Puntanipterus

***Puntanipterus noctis*** is a species of dsungaripteridae pterodactyloid pterosaur that originally lived from the Early Cretaceous period (Aptian stage) La Cruz Formation of San Luis, Argentina as an extinct species, *Puntanipterus globosus*, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii. *Puntanipterus noctis* is a medium-sized pterosaur, having a wingspan of about 12 feet (3.6 meters) across on average. It is a predator that often preys on any animal smaller than itself. It is a solitary animal that spends throughout most of its entire life alone except during the breeding seasons. *Puntanipterus noctis* is found throughout North America, descended from the ones that escaped from the warehouse in New York City after the SciiFii Pterosaur Incident occurred in October 12, 2039, as a result of a group of unidentified criminals, probably either street gangs or terrorists, who released them after the failed attempt to steal them for possible use of war animals. *Puntanipterus noctis* is an adaptable animal, capable of thriving in hot and cold climates, humid and arid environments, and can flourish in a life in the cities and suburbs.
Plateosaurus

***Plateosaurus anthropocenus*** (name meaning "broad lizard of man's age") is a species of large mostly-herbivorous plateosaurid dinosaur that originally lived during the Late Triassic period, around 214 to 204 million years ago, in what is now Central and Northern Europe and Greenland, North America, but thanks to SciiFii bringing this prehistoric species back from extinction through genetic engineering, it is now found in one of the exhibits in the **Triassic Dinosaurs** section of **Cretaceous Park** located in Sacramento, California. *Plateosaurus anthropocenus* is a bipedal animal that normally uses its clawed fingers for defense against predators, fighting males of their species (during mating seasons), and/or for pulling branches to reach its main source if food, leaves. However, it can occasionally feed on insects and/or, rarely, carrion to supplement its diet. It can grow to be between 4.8 and 10 metres (16 and 33 ft) long and can weigh between 600 and 4,000 kilograms (1,300 and 8,800 lb). Commonly, *Plateosaurus anthropocenus* live for at least 12 to 20 years, but the maximum life span between 25-30 is not unheard of. After mating seasons, eggs are laid around 3 months later, and 4-5 months after being laid, the eggs hatch, the babies are then cared for by their mothers until they are halfway between the age of the hatchlings and the adults, when they must fend for themselves.
Nesorhinus philippinensis

The **Philippine rhinoceros** (*Nesorhinus philippinensis*) is a species of rhinoceros endemic to the Philippine islands and was once extinct since the Pleistocene, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to the Philippines to help boost biodiversity. The Philippine rhinoceros has a thick grey-brown skin with pinkish skin folds and one horn on its snout. Its upper legs and shoulders are covered in wart-like bumps. It has very little body hair, aside from eyelashes, ear fringes and tail brush. Males have huge neck folds. The skull is heavy with a basal length above 60 cm (24 in) and an occiput above 19 cm (7.5 in). The nasal horn is slightly back-curved with a base of about 18.5 cm (7.3 in) by 12 cm (4.7 in) that rapidly narrows until a smooth, even stem part begins about 55 mm (2.2 in) above base. In captive animals, the horn is frequently worn down to a thick knob. The Philippine rhinoceros is about the same size as the Javan rhinoceros (*Rhinoceros sondaicus*) and resembles a cross between an Indian rhinoceros (*Rhinoceros unicornis*) and a Javan rhinoceros in appearance. The behavior of the Philippine rhinoceros is very similar to both of its relatives and reproduces in a similar manner. The conservation status of the Philippine rhinoceros is **Near Threatened** due to some habitat loss and historic poaching, however, thanks to the conservationists, the Philippine rhinoceros is a protected species and is illegal to hunt, allowing the Philippine rhinoceros to recover. Interestingly, the Philippine rhinoceros is a common sight in the cities and suburbs of the Philippines, due to the people of the Philippines considering the native rhinos as sacred, in a manner similar to sika deer in Japan (where the deer are worshipped and allowed to live in the cities), so the Philippine rhinoceros populations are allowed to live peacefully alongside people and livestock.
Paracamelus

The **common camel** (*Paracamelus communis*) is a species of camel in the family Camelidae that originally lived in North America and Eurasia during the Middle Miocene to the Pleistocene, approximately 7.5–6.5 Ma, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, scrublands, and deserts across North America and Eurasia to help boost biodiversity. The common camel is a rather large species of camel, with an average length of about 9.8 feet (3 meters) long, the shoulder height of around 7.8 feet (2.4 meters) tall, and the animal's weight can be between 800 and 1400 kilograms. In appearance, the common camel is very similar to a dromedary camel (*Camelus dromedarius*), which is also known as the Arabian camel, and like dromedary camels, the common camel's single hump stores fat, which is used in case of food shortage. The common camel is diurnal (active mainly during daylight); herds feed and roam throughout the day, though they rest during the hottest hours around noon. The night is mainly spent resting. Common camels form cohesive groups of about 20 individuals, which consist of several females led by a dominant male. Females may also lead in turns. Some males either form bachelor groups or roam alone. Herds may congregate to form associations of hundreds of camels during migrations at the time of natural disasters. The males of the herd prevent female members from interacting with bachelor males by standing or walking between them and sometimes driving the bachelor males away. In North America, short-term home ranges of common camels cover 50 to 150 km2 (19 to 58 sq mi); annual home ranges can spread over several thousand square kilometres. Some of the behavioral features of the common camel includes snapping at others without biting them and showing displeasure by stamping their feet. They are generally non-aggressive, with the exception of rutting males. They appear to remember their homes; females, in particular, remember the places they first gave birth or suckled their offspring. Males become aggressive in the mating season, and sometimes wrestle. Between March and July when these levels are high during the rut, they become difficult to manage, blow out the palate from the mouth, vocalize and throw urine over their backs. Common camels scratch parts of their bodies with their legs or with their lower incisors. They may also rub against tree bark and roll in the sand. The common camel's diet, if the common camel lives in arid regions, consists mostly of foliage, dry grasses and desert vegetation, mostly thorny plants, however, if the common camel lives in the more humid habitats, it mainly feeds on grasses, shrubs, leaves, shrubs, and among other vegetation. The conservation status of the common camel is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the common camel's wide natural range and its tolerance to most of the human activities.
Proganochelys

The **turtletara** (*Proganochelys primordius*), also known as the **vegetarian snapping turtle**, is a primitive species of stem-turtle that is the sister taxon to all other turtles creating a monophyletic group, the *Casichelydia*. The turtletara originally lived in Germany, Greenland, and Thailand during the Late Triassic around 210 million years ago as an extinct species of *Proganochelys* and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii due to demands for exotic prehistoric pets. The turtletara is around 1 meter in size and it is herbivorous in nature, hence its name, feeding primarily on leaves, fruits, tubers, bulbs, and vegetables. Unlike turtles, the turtletara cannot retract its head, legs, nor tail into its shell due to its primitive characteristics and the complete shell being a recent development in this genus. The lifestyles and lifecycle of the turtletara is almost identical to those of African spurred tortoises and giant tortoises.
Plusle

The **plusle** (*Neolagus ruberpokevus*) is a species of rabbit that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii due to the demand for Pokémon-like animals as pets. However, due to pet releases by careless pet owners, the plusles can be found throughout the mainland North America, Europe, and Africa. It is named for its tail, which is shaped like a plus symbol due to the fur length and shape on its tail. Male plusles weigh approximately 1.5 kilogram while females weigh about 1.8 kilograms. It is most closely related to the endangered riverine rabbit, and it is likely that it was used as a base by SciiFii when SciiFii was creating plusles. The plusles prefer to occupy river basins, very particular shrubland, and farmland. They feed on the dense vegetation, including grasses, roots, tubers, and fruits, the soil they dig through allows for it to create vast burrows and dens for protection, brooding young, and thermoregulation. The gestation period of plusles are around 3-4 months and the plusle females usually give birth to around two or three kits at a time, though a liter of around 5-6 have been reported. The conservation status of the plusle is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the plusle's wide range, and its tolerance to habitat loss, allowing it to survive and thrive in man-made habitats, including cities and suburbs.
Planops

The **Argentine dwarf ground sloth** (*Planops nanus*) is a species of ground sloth as an extinct species of *Planops* and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, and open woodlands across South America to help boost biodiversity. The Argentine dwarf ground sloth has a long, robust body with a short head and long limbs with large, curved claws. It is a small ground sloth, measuring about 3.3 feet (1 metre) in length on average, hence its name. On the ground, it walks on the knuckles of its forelimbs, like a gorilla. Like other ground sloths, the Argentine dwarf ground sloth feeds primarily on vegetation in intertropical wooded savannahs and other similar habitats. Unlike most ground sloths, however, it is known to engage in some climbing behaviors, similarly to black bears. The conservation status of the Argentine dwarf ground sloth is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the Argentine dwarf ground sloth's wide range.
