Sinornithosaurus

***Sinornithosaurus sciifii*** (name meaning "SciiFii's Sinornithosaurus") is a species of feathered dromaeosaurid dinosaur that originally lived the early Cretaceous Period (early Aptian) of the Yixian Formation in what is now China, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and now lives in Cretaceous Park located in Sacramento, California. *Sinornithosaurus sciifii* is among the smallest dromaeosaurids, with a length of about 90 centimetres (3.0 ft), with the largest individuals reaching 1.2 metres and three kilogrammes. Like other dromaeosaurs, *Sinornithosaurus sciifii* is a carnivore that feeds on animals smaller than itself, but unlike (possibly) the original Sinornithosaurus species, in Cretaceous Park, *Sinornithosaurus sciifii* doesn't hunt its relatives such as Microraptor, due to breeders who modified the behavior of *Sinornithosaurus sciifii* so they no longer could hunt other dinosaurs. It isn't as efficient in gliding or flying as Microraptors, but on the ground, its leg feathers aren't too big, so it has no trouble walking or running quickly on the ground.
Speothos crocuta

The **hyaena dog** (*Speothos crocuta*) is a species of canid that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced to the jungles, open woodlands, mountainous areas, marshlands, jungles, cerrado-savannas, floodplains, pampas, chaco plains and semi-deserts across South America to help boost biodiversity. They are found across Peru, Patagonia, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, and Bolivia, as well as through Central America and Mexico, although some populations now exist in the forests, mountains, open woodlands and grasslands in North America due to some intentional and accidental releases. The hyaena dogs are most closely related to the bush dog, which also belong to the genus *Speothos*. The hyaena dogs are one of the largest canids in the New World, growing on average to be about the size of a large red wolf (*Canis rufus*), although some individuals can grow slightly larger. The hyaena dogs fill the similar ecological niche to hyenas, which are not found in South America, and hyaena dogs have strong jaws and teeth to crush bones. Although primarily pack-hunting predators like spotted hyenas of Africa, Eurasia, and North America, the hyaena dogs are also scavengers of dead animals. The packs of the hyaena dogs are led by the dominant females. The conservation status of the hyaena dog is **Least Concern** due to successful efforts and the hyaena dog's wide range.
Spotted bear

The **spotted bear** (*Hyaenursus arborealis*), also known as the **hyena bear** and, inaccurately, the **tree hyena**, is a species of bear that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across Central Africa and West Africa to help boost biodiversity. Spotted bears are most closely related to the Asian sun bears, and have tawny coats with brown spots, making it resemble spotted hyenas as first glance, which lead to people mistaking it for spotted hyenas, hence its name "tree hyena". Spotted bears' fur coloration are effective for hiding them in trees similarly to leopards. The spotted bears are rather small bears, growing to be about the size of the closely related Asian sun bears, standing nearly 70 centimetres (28 inches) at the shoulder and weighing 25–65 kilograms (55–143 pounds). The spotted bears make nests out of leaves in a manner similar to gorillas. The spotted bears' diet primarily consists of a wide range of fruit (including bananas), seeds, insects, and honey. It is mainly active during the day, though nocturnality might be more common in areas frequented by humans. Spotted bears tend to remain solitary but sometimes occur in pairs (such as a mother and her cub). They do not seem to hibernate because food resources are available the whole year throughout the range. The conservation status of the spotted bear is **Near Threatened** due to some habitat loss and historic poaching, however, thanks to the conservationists, the spotted bears are a protected species.
Sloth cuscus

The **sloth cuscus** (*Phascoloepus apaticus*), sometimes known as the **marsupial sloth**, is a species of Australian possum that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, forested wetlands, and forests across Australia and New Guinea to help boost biodiversity. Males are 45 to 55 centimetres (18 to 22 in) in head-body length, with a short, 4 to 6 centimetres (1.6 to 2.4 in), tail, and weigh from 3.2 to 6 kilograms (7.1 to 13.2 lb). However, the females are noticeably larger, being from 50 to 75 centimetres (20 to 30 in) in length, and weighing 3.8 to 6.5 kilograms (8.4 to 14.3 lb). The body is covered with coarse guard hairs up to 10 centimetres (3.9 in) long, with a finer undercoat. Green algae live mutualistically between the microscopic scales on the surface of the guard hairs, giving the sloth cuscus a somewhat greenish appearance that serves as camouflage. The eyes are large and forward facing for binocular vision, with round pupils. Despite its apparently small ears, the sloth cuscus has excellent hearing; it also has a good sense of smell. The sloth cuscus is a solitary animal that spends almost its entire life in trees. Depending on habitat, population densities of anything from 1.7 to 221 per square kilometre (4.4 to 572.4/sq mi) have been reported. The sloth cuscus is a slow-moving herbivore and primarily eats leaves, twigs, and buds, filling the similar ecological niche to the sloths of the Americas, although it can occasionally feed on fruits in the wild. Mating takes place in the trees, with the pair either face to face, or with the male on the female's back. The female gives birth to a single joey after a gestation period of about six months. The joey is nursed in its mother's pouch for up to about 3 months until it is a fully-developed young resembling an adult, when it is fully independent from its mother. The conservation status of the sloth cuscus is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the sloth cuscus's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Therizinosaurus

***Therizinosaurus californii*** (name meaning "California scythe lizard") is a species of very large mostly-herbivorous theropod dinosaur that originally lived in Late Cretaceous Mongolia and was extinct, but has since been brought back by SciiFii from extinction and now lives in the **Cretaceous Safari** tour in **Cretaceous Park** located at Sacramento, California.

Due to the incomplete fossils of the original *Therizinosaurus*, the anatomical characteristics of modern day *Therizinosaurus* is controversial, and SciiFii used the complete skeleton of the closest relatives of *Therizinosaurus* as a base before *Therizinosaurus* was brought back from extinction. *Therizinosaurus californii* is almost entirely herbivorous and mainly feeds on fruits, leaves, and shrubs, but can also feed on ants and termites to supplement its diet. *Therizinosaurus californii* is a social herd-dwelling animal that lives in groups up to about 9-11. During the mating seasons, males do mating dances that consists of spinning while waving their clawed arms making loud booming noises, hoping to attract the females. In just 2 months after the mating season, the females lay around 15-20 eggs at a time, the eggs hatch around 2-3 months after being laid, and the young are cared for by their mothers until they are almost fully-grown, when they must fend for themselves.
Snuffleupagus

A **snuffleupagus** (*Probosciditherium snufflepagus*) is a species of large elephant-like Mammal and is the only living member of the family, Proboscidae, due to being created by SciiFii. This species was created due to the fans of Sesame Street who wanted to create real life versions of the Sesame Street characters as scientifically accurate animals. It is an extremely large animal for a Proboscideans, growing to be more than two meters tall at the shoulders and weigh over 2 tons, nearly the weight of a rhinoceros. The snuffleupagus is a herbivore that primarily feeds on grasses, leaves, shrubs, fruits, vegetables, roots, tubers, bulbs, shoots, and other kinds of edible vegetation. Like Proboscideans like elephants and Mammoths, it is a social animal that can live in herds of up to around 50 individuals at a time. However, like other elephants, it is an Giving Birth animal, making more viviparity mammals and then give birth around 1-2 months later and are more gracile and faster than the juveniles or adults, being fully independent and solitary from their own species, but become more and more social when growing up until it needed protection from the herds due to the juveniles and adults being common prey for many medium-sized-to-large predators. The vocalizations it makes includes growls, rumbles, and nearly-elephant-like trumpets. The snuffleupagus is a common outdoor pet and zoo animal, due to its docile and tame nature towards humans and domestic animals as well as zoo and safari park herbvores.
Sordes

***Sordes sciifii*** (name meaning "SciiFii's Sordes") is a species of tiny pterosaur that originally lived in Late Jurassic Kazakhstan and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii. *Sordes sciifii* is a nocturnal coastal animal, feeding on a wide range of nocturnal sea-going small fish, cephalopods, and crustaceans, having a lifestyle similar to that of a diurnal seagull. It is a social animal that lives in large flocks up to around 75-85 at a time. *Sordes sciifii* is found throughout of Eurasia, Africa, Australia, North America, and South 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. *Sordes sciifii* is a very common species, not in risk of extinction, due to being an adaptable animal that is able to live in coastal cities and suburbs, not just the wild coastal areas.
Tapinocephalus

***Tapinocephalus amphibious*** (name meaning "amphibious humble head") is a species of large herbivorous dinocephalian that originally lived during the Middle Permian Period in what is now South Africa as an extinct species, *Tapinocephalus atherstonei*, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and now lives in **Paleozoic Park** located in Downey, California. However, there are also feral populations of *Tapinocephalus amphibious* living in the modern wetlands and grasslands of South Africa, most likely a result of illegal pet trade, and these *Tapinocephalus amphibious* herds are known to live alongside rhinoceroses and other megafaunal mammals. These stocky, barrel-bodied animals are characterised by a massive bony skull roof and short weak snout, and like other members of its family, *Tapinocephalus amphibious* engage in head-butting intraspecific behavior, for territory and/or mates. *Tapinocephalus amphibious* is among the largest non-mammal synapsids on Earth, usually growing to be over 10 feet (3 meters) in length and weigh around 1.5 to 2 tonnes (3,300 to 4,400 lb). The primary food sources of *Tapinocephalus amphibious* includes shrubs, leaves, ferns, cycads, fruits, nuts, seeds, grains, and underwater vegetation. As its scientific name suggests, *Tapinocephalus amphibious* is an amphibious animal that relies on wallowing and/or swimming in the lakes/rivers to keep its skin moist and preventing its skin from drying up and cracking, similarly to hippopotamuses. *Tapinocephalus amphibious* is a social animal that lives in herds that can normally contain around 10-75 individuals at a time.
South American ghoul

The **South American ghoul** (*Rioraptor gracilis*) is a species of non-avian troodont theropod dinosaur that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii. The South American ghoul was originally planned to be featured in the now-scrapped **Cretaceous Park: Argentina**, but due to the incident involving the criminals who broke in the park and stole all 9 of the eggs of South American ghouls, before unintentionally releasing them into the wilderness of Argentina after getting arrested by the Argentine police force. Over time, the populations of South American ghouls had exploded from just 9 individuals to more than 800,000 throughout South America in just little more than half a century, thanks to the species' fast and frequent reproduction, its adaptability to a wide range of habitats, and its varied diet. The South American ghoul has an average length of 2.3 meters (7.5 feet) long and weighing around 23 kilograms (51 lbs). It has large eye sockets and stereoscopic vision, allowing for good depth perception, and it has good vision in light and very good night vision. It has a long, low head, a depressed muzzle, sharp teeth and a relatively large brain. Swift and smart, like its relatives, it is an omnivore that feeds primarily on invertebrates, smaller vertebrates, fruits, and leaves. South American ghouls are usually together in pairs or small groups consisting of families, such as a mated pair and their young, or a male with several females having kinship ties. The young of the mated pair remain with their parents to assist in caring for new chicks. The conservation status of the South American ghoul is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the South American ghoul's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Styracoceratops

***Styracoceratops manipulatus*** (name meaning "manipulated spike-horned face") is a genus of herbivorous ceratopsian dinosaur of the centrosaurinae subfamily 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. *Styracoceratops manipulatus* weighs about one ton on average, and has a length of about 6 metres (20 feet). *Styracoceratops manipulatus* is largely dark grey, almost black, in color with red and bright pale-yellow blotches on its frill, and bright yellow, almost white, horns (tipped with black) and beak. *Styracoceratops manipulatus* has four to six long parietal spikes extending from its neck frill, a smaller jugal horn on each of its cheeks, a pair of "brow" or supraorbital horns approximately 1 meter (3.3 ft) long, with one above each eye, and a single small horn protruding from its nose, thus making it resemble a hybrid between a *Styracosaurus* and a *Triceratops*, hence its genus name. *Styracoceratops manipulatus* is a herbivore that primarily feeds on fruits, leaves, pine needles, shrubs, and nuts, although it is known to occasionally feed on aquatic vegetation. *Styracoceratops manipulatus* is social animal that lives in herds consisting of up to around 50 individuals at a time. The conservation status of *Styracoceratops manipulatus* is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the animal's wide range.
Sinomegaceros yabei

The **giant Japanese elk** (*Sinomegaceros yabei*), also known as the **Japanese giant elk**, is a species of deer that originally lived in Japan during the Pleistocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to the forests, swamps, and open woodlands of Japan to help boost biodiversity. The giant Japanese elk is not an elk, despite its name, and is instead actually more closely related to the Irish elk (*Megaloceros giganteus*), which isn't an elk neither, thus, both are most closely related to the fallow deer (*Dama dama*). It is almost as large as the Irish elk, but with much smaller antlers and much longer metatarsals, the animal can grow to about 2.5 meters in length and a weight of around 600 kg. Its antlers are similar to the extinct mid-Pleistocene M. verticornis and M. solilbacus in both shape and size. The giant Japanese elk is noted for its distinctive palmate antler brow tines compared with most other species of deer. It is both a browser and a grazer that mainly feeds on grasses, leaves, shrubs, and fruits. It is a social animal that lives in small herds consisting of around 10-15 members in a single group. The conservation status of the giant Japanese elk is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the giant Japanese elk's wide natural range, and its tolerance level towards human activities similar to those of whitetail/mule deer, allowing it to survive and flourish in parts of cities and suburbs.
Sugar flier

A **sugar flier** (*Thylacovespertilio caelum*) is a species of small, omnivorous, arboreal, and nocturnal flying possum of the *Petauridae* family that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, and open woodlands of Australia to help boost biodiversity. The common name refers to its predilection for sugary foods such as sap and nectar. Unlike its closest living relative, the sugar glider (*Petaurus breviceps*), the most likely base animal for the sugar flier, it has the ability to fly through the air, much like a bat, thanks to its long wings supported by its ankles and its last two fingers. It has a long bony tail with a paddle-shaped skin at the end to help stabilize its flight, unlike a bat, due to being a poor powered flier in a manner similar to primitive birds like *Archaeopteryx*. It is a very large animal for its family, growing to be about the size of a large colugo. It is a solotary animal that live most of its life alone except during breeding seasons. The conservation status of the sugar flier is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the sugar flier's wide range and its tolerance to most of human activities.
Squibbon

The **squibbon** (*Simiteuthis altusoculus*) is a species of arboreal, highly intelligent, octopus-like terrestrial cephalopod that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the subtropical and temperate forests of the Azores archipelago to help boost biodiversity. It spends all its life high in the canopy, far more flexibly-adapted in the treetops than any vertebrate. In the trees above a lumbering megasquid, a party of squibbons will swing about, keeping wary eyes on the bigger animal below. Squibbons are the most agile of the land-dwelling cephalopods, having adapted their natural dexterity to a tree-dwelling existence. They swing through the branches, not brachiating (swinging one arm after the other), as gibbons do, but looping end-over-end in a continuous somersaulting action. Their eyes are set on muscular stalks, which stay with the body's center of gravity as they swing through the trees, always looking forward towards the next branch. With their sharp vision and large brains, they are able to navigate through the forest at speed. Squibbons feed mostly on plants, but are agile enough to snatch forest flish and small birds from the air, grabbing their prey with a pair of dexterous tentacles. Each tentacle is equipped with highly-developed suckers, or suction cups, forming fingerlike protuberances which are so flexible that a squibbon can manipulate small objects and even use simple tools. For young squibbons, chasing other animals (like forest flish) can sharpen their senses and coordination. Squibbons live in communes, building simple, nest-like structures in the uppermost branches of the forest. They are highly sociable animals, working together to defend their territory from any megasquid that blunders into it. Should one of these giants seize a baby squibbon in its suckered tentacles, it can expect to be mobbed and harassed until the prey is released, sometimes being snatched away to safety by an adult squibbon. Branches are used as clubs, and fruits and spore polyps as missiles to fend off the huge predator. The conservation status of the squibbon is **Vulnerable** due to some habitat loss and some hunting for their meat to make land-calamari, etc, however, thanks to conservationists, the megasquid is a protected species. Due to the squibbon being omnivorous and being easy to keep and care for in captivity, SciiFii has created a subspecies of squibbon known as the **domestic squibbon** (*Simiteuthis altusoculus domestica*), which has since became very popular as a pet for many people.
Tatzelwurm

The **tatzelwurm** (*Feliscephalosaurus europeansis*), also known as the **European mole lizard** and the **black mole lizard**, is a species of lizard of the amphisbaenian clade in the family Bipedidae that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across Europe to help boost biodiversity. The tatzelwurm is a rather large member of its family, growing on average of around 36-48 centimeters (14-18 inches) in length in snout-to-vent length (SVL) and 12–14 mm (0.47–0.55 inches) in width. It lives for four to five 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 soil efficiently. The forelegs are strong and paddle-like, while the hind legs have disappeared, leaving behind only vestigial bones visible in X-rays. The tail is autotomous without any regeneration. Due to sacrificing the development of its ear to permit it to dig more efficiently, the tatzelwurm has adapted to have its skin transmit vibrations to the cochlea. The male tatzelwurm also has two small cone-like hornlets on its head as a means to compete other males during the mating season in order to win a right to mate with the females, which lacks the hornlets of males. These hornlets, along with the lizard's short face, often leads people mistaking its head for that of of black cat's head at first glance. Like all other amphisbaenians, the tatzelwurm is a burrowing species that only 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 tatzelwurm 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, and dirt. The tatzelwurm bites and chews its prey items rather than swallowing them whole. The tatzelwurm is oviparous, and the females lay two to six eggs in midspring. The species only breeds underground. The eggs hatch after two months. The conservation status of the tatzelwurm is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the tatzelwurm's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Paraceratherium

A **giant giraffe rhinoceros** (*Paraceratherium maximus*) is a species of giant hornless rhinoceros found throughout the open woodlands and grasslands of the temperate, subtropical, and tropical parts of Asia. It was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced by SciiFii's conservationists to help boost biodiversity and to allow extinct animals to retain their own ecological niches. The giant giraffe rhinoceros is one of the largest known land mammals alive in prehistory and today, growing to be about 18.6 feet tall at the shoulders, 26 feet long from nose tip to tail tip, and weigh about 16 tons, although the Asian straight-tusked elephant is bigger. It is solitary animal in most of its life, except during breeding seasons, when males clash with other males in a manner similar to giraffes, and the winning males win the right to mate with the females. The conservation status of the giant giraffe rhinoceros is **Vulnerable** due to poaching, however, the population trend of giant giraffe rhinoceros is actually increasing thanks to the help of conservationists.
Theosodon

The **woolly camoose** (*Theosodon sciifii*) is a species of litoptern mammal that originally lived from the Early to Middle Miocene of South America and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern forests and open environments of South America to help boost biodiversity. The woolly camoose is long-legged with a long neck resembling llamas or guanacos. It is large for a litoptern, reaching up to 2 metres (6.6 ft) in length and weighing up to 170 kilograms (370 lb). It has, not only a long neck, but tapir-like three-toed feet. Like other litopterns and horses, tapirs and rhinos, it bares its weight on its middle toes. Extraordinarily, rather than having nostrils at the front of its head, the woolly camoose has its nostrils on top of its snout, halfway between the forehead and the tip of the snout, and its nostrils point upwards rather than forwards, as an adaptation for browsing on prickly vegetation. Like most litopterns, it is a terrestrial and cursorial animal that lives in both forests and more open environments. Due to its size and its long neck, it is a high browser, stripping leaves off of trees and shrubs high off the ground. It has a slender jaw compared to many other litopterns, so instead of feeding on hard vegetation, it primarily feeds on soft vegetation. The conservation status of the woolly camoose is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the woolly camoose's wide range.
Tahltan Bear Dog

The **Tahltan Bear Dog** is a breed of dog that is indigenous to Canada. The Tahltan is bred somewhere between the lines of the spitz and pariah types. The Tahltan Bear Dog was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii due to demand for more dog breeds as common household pets. The ideal dog is, above all else, athletic and agile. As they were always bred solely for hunting value, appearance vary significantly between dogs. A Tahltan Bear Dog is primarily black, dark brown or blue, with some white patches on the chest, underbelly and sometimes the feet or tail. Standing 14 to 17 inches high at the shoulder, with relatively large, erect pointed ears, with a refined, pointed muzzle. The glossy coat is of average length, with guard hairs covering a thicker undercoat. Paws somewhat webbed and relatively large for the size of the dog. They are bred to be double jointed and gaited, enabling them to switch gaits as they move through different terrain or heavy brush, as were all the aboriginal dogs of the North and South American continents. Like others of their group, they have a peculiar yodel. Foxy in appearance, their main distinction among dogs is their novel tail. Short, bushy and carried erect, it has a shaving brush or a whisk broom.
Speothos pacivorus

The **Pleistocene bush dog** (*Speothos pacivorus*) is a canid species in the genus *Speothos* from the Late Pleistocene in South America, hence its name, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced throughout the modern rainforests, wetlands, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, and shrublands across South America to help boost biodiversity. When compared to the closely related common bush dog (*Speothos venaticus*), the Pleistocene bush dog has an overall larger body size, a straighter radial shaft, a double-rooted second lower molar, and a deeper brown coat of fur. Pleistocene bush dogs have a height of 20-24 inches (51-61 centimeters), body length between 42-53 inches (107-135 centimeters), and an overall weight in the range of 77-146 lbs (35-66 kilograms). Compared with the common bush dog, the Pleistocene bush dogs are more macropredatory and are more social pack hunters that primarily hunt tapirs, peccaries, wild boars, deer, camelids, horses, and other similarly-sized animals. Like common bush dogs, Pleistocene bush dogs are diurnal and hunt during the day. Pleistocene bush dogs appear to be the most gregarious South American canid species. They use hollow logs and cavities such as armadillo burrows for shelter. Packs consist of a single mated pair and their immediate relations, and have a home range of 3.8 to 10 square kilometres (1.5 to 3.9 sq mi). Only the adult pair breed, while the other members of the pack are subordinate, and help with rearing and guarding any pups. Packmates keep in contact with frequent whines, perhaps because visibility is poor in the undergrowth where they typically hunt. While eating large prey, parents position themselves at either ends of the animal, making it easier for the pups to disembowel it. Pleistocene bush dogs mate throughout the year; oestrus lasts up to twelve days and occurs every 15 to 44 days. Like many other canids, Pleistocene bush dog mating includes a copulatory tie, during which the animals are locked together. Urine-marking plays a significant role in their pre-copulatory behavior. Gestation lasts from 65 to 83 days and normally results in the birth of a litter of three to six pups, although larger litters of up to 10 have been reported. The young are born blind and helpless and initially weigh 125 to 190 grams (4.4 to 6.7 oz). The eyes open after 14 to 19 days and the pups first emerge from the nativity den shortly thereafter. The young are weaned at around four weeks and reach sexual maturity at one year. They can live for up to 12 years in captivity. The conservation status of the Pleistocene bush dog is **Vulnerable** due to some habitat loss and historic poaching, however, thanks to the conservationists, the Pleistocene bush dog is a protected species.
South American bandicoot

The **South American bandicoot** (*Megadidelphus vulgaris*), also known as the **South American bilby** and the **bandicoot opossum**, is a species of New World opossum 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 South America to help boost biodiversity. The South American bandicoot is able to move rapidly, despite having unusually thin legs, similarly to pig-footed bandicoots (*Chaeropus*) of Australia. The South American bandicoot is on average 55 centimeters (22 inches) long, excluding the tail, which is usually around 37 centimeters (14 inches) long. Unusually among marsupials, the South American bandicoot has two functional toes with hooves, similar to the cloven hoof of a pig or deer; this is due to juveniles being deposited in the pouch through external stalks, thus relieving them of using the forelimbs while as joeys. South American bandicoots are nocturnal omnivores that do not need to drink water, as they get all the moisture they need from their food, which includes insects and their larvae, seeds, spiders, termites, bulbs, fruit, fungi, and very small vertebrates. Most food is found by digging or scratching in the soil and sand, and using their very long tongues. The South American bandicoot is a solitary animal throughout most of its life except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the South American bandicoot is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the South American bandicoot's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Styracopelta

***Styracopelta luciferi*** is a species of centrosaurine ceratopsian dinosaur that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the swamps, forests, and open woodlands of North America to help boost biodiversity. *Styracopelta luciferi* is a rather large animal, growing to be about the size of an Indian elephant (*Elephas maximus indicus*). *Styracopelta luciferi* is mostly herbivorous, feeding primarily on fruits, leaves, pine needles, pinecones, bamboo, cycads, ferns, and horsetails, but can occasionally feed on insects and carrion to supplement its diet. It is a solitary animal in most of its life except during breeding seasons, when males fight other males to win a right to mate with the females. The conservation status of *Styracopelta luciferi* is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the animal's wide range and its tolerance to most of human activities.
Styracosaurus V2

***Styracosaurus dux*** (name meaning "chieftain spiked lizard") is a species of medium-sized shades of brown-colored ceratopsian dinosaur that original lived from the Cretaceous Period (Campanian stage), about 75.5 to 75 million years ago and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and now lives in **Cretaceous Safari** located at **Cretaceous Park**. It has four to six long parietal spikes extending from its neck frill, a smaller jugal horn on each of its cheeks, and a single horn protruding from its nose, which can grow up to 60 centimetres (2 feet) long and 15 centimetres (6 inches) wide. The horns of *Styracosaurus dux* are used for fighting rivals of their species and frills are used for display and to intimidate predators. *Styracosaurus dux* is a relatively large dinosaur, reaching lengths of 5.5 metres (18 feet) and weighing nearly 3 tonnes. It stands about 1.8 meters (5.9 feet) tall. *Styracosaurus dux* possesses four short legs and a bulky body. Its tail is rather short. The skull has a beak and shearing cheek teeth arranged in continuous dental batteries, allowing the animal to slice up plants. Like many other ceratopsians, this dinosaur is a herd animal, travelling in large groups.
Sunset macaw

The **sunset macaw** (*Ara vulgaris*) is a species of small macaw that originally did not exist, but has been since created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, and open woodlands of southeastern United States to help boost biodiversity. The sunset macaw is a rather small macaw that can grow to about the size of the chestnut-fronted macaw (*Ara severus*). The sunset macaw is named for its coloration, which consists of the orange "cap", upper back, and top parts of its wings, the reddish-orange "mask", breast, underbelly, and the upper tail feathers, the yellow " collar", neck, and back of its head, and blue lower wings and tail feathers. It is an omnivore that primarily feeds on insects, larvae, snails, nuts, fruits, seeds, flowers, and nectar. Sunset 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 sunset 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 sunset macaw is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the sunset macaw's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Tamisiocaris

***Tamisiocaris sciifii*** is a species of anomalocaridid that originally lived from the Cambrian seas as an extinct species of *Tamisiocaris* and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the cool-to-warm seas worldwide to help boost biodiversity. The animal's frontal appendages are segmented and bearing densly-packed auxiliary spines, which are adapted to suspension feeding in a manner analogous to baleen whales. Unlike most other anamalocarids, *Tamisiocaris sciifii* is not a predator, but is instead a filter-feeding animal. *Tamisiocaris sciifii* is a solitary animal in most of its life except during breeding seasons, when *Tamisiocaris sciifii* shoals of different genders come together to mate with. The conservation status of *Tamisiocaris sciifii* is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the animal's wide range.
Tetrapodophis

The **serpentine boa lizard** (*Tetrapodophis ophisomimoides*, name meaning "four-footed snake" in Greek) is a species of snake-like lizard of the family *Dolichosauridae* that originally lived from the Early Cretaceous of Brazil as an extinct species, *Tetrapodophis amplectus*, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii due to a demand for exotic prehistoric pets. Due to accidental and/or intentional pet releases, the serpentine boa lizards now live throughout the rainforests, swamps, marshlands, forests, and open woodlands throughout the western United States. The serpentine boa lizard is around 12 inches long, weighing around 15-17 ounces. Due to its snake-like appearance, such as its short head and an extremely elongated body, it is often feared by many people who fear snakes, but can be distinguished from snakes by the presence of all four limbs with clawed fingers and toes. Unlike some snakes and few lizards, and like most snakes and lizards, it is nonvenomous, making it safe for people and pets to be around. Due to the lack of venom, it hunts and kills its small prey such as mice with constriction, in a manner similar to boas and pythons. It is capable of burrowing in the dirt and sand, and is known to slither like a snake, with its limbs tucked by its sides while sslithering. Due to to its adaptation for an elongated body and its slithering ability, it is thought that the ancestors of the snakes evolved the similar adaptations like the serpentine boa lizards before evolving into modern snakes. The serpentine boa lizards are highly adaptable, being able to tolerate a high degree of habitat loss, temperature and humidity changes, as well as being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
Sicilian crane

A **Sicilian crane** (*Grus melitensis*) is a species of crane that originally lived in what is now Sicily during the Pleistocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and (re)introduced throughout the Mediterranean islands, including Sicily, to help boost biodiversity. The Scicilian crane is a very large crane species, growing to be about as large as the sarus crane (*Antigone antigone*), making it one of, if not, the largest living crane and reaches heights of 150cm. Despite its large size, it is still capable of flight and has migratory tendencies like common cranes (*Grus grus*). The Sicilian crane is omnivorous, as are all cranes, and it largely eats plant matter, including roots, rhizomes, tubers, stems, leaves, fruits and seeds. They also commonly eat, when available, pond-weeds, heath berries, peas, potatoes, olives, acorns, cedarnuts and pods of peanuts. Animal foods become more important during the summer breeding season and may be the primary food source at that time of year, especially while regurgitating to young. Their animal foods are insects, especially dragonflies, and also snails, earthworms, crabs, spiders, millipedes, woodlice, amphibians, rodents, and small birds. The Sicilian crane is a fairly social bird while not breeding. Flocks of up to 400 birds may be seen flying together during migration. Staging sites, where migrating birds gather to rest and feed in the middle of their migration, may witness thousands of cranes gathering at once. However, the flocks of the species are not stable social units but rather groups that ensure greater safety in numbers and collectively draw each other's attention to ideal foraging and roosting sites. The conservation status of the Sicilian crane is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the Sicilian crane's wide range and its tolerance to most of the human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
Sengazelle

The **sengazelle** (*Caprogale elephantulus*) is a species of sengi or elephant shrew that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across southern Africa to help boost biodiversity. The sengazelle is most closely related to the bushveld sengi (*Elephantulus intufi*). The sengazelle is a very large member for its family, growing to be about the size of a capybara (*Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris*). The sengazelle is adapted to dry environments and has an omnivorous diet of grasses, leaves and some invertebrates. Unlike most other species of elephant shrews, the sengazelle is a social animal that can live in groups consisting of up to about 20 to 45 individuals at a time. The conservation status of the sengazelle is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the sengazelle's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Sift

The **sift** (*Pterocolum rubicundum*) is a fine-toothed, omnivorous, heron-like pterodactyloid pterosaur that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced to the wetlands and mixed woodlands in southern, southwestern, and western North America to help boost biodiversity. The sift is built to the general pterosaur design, with a small lightweight body stiffened for flight, wings of membrane supported by the arms and extended fourth finger, and a very flexible neck. However, in appearance the sift is more like a wading bird, with its long-shanked legs and its tapering beaked jaws. The sift congregates in flocks out in the shallows. The folded wings, larger in proportion than those of birds, catch the sun and provide an ever-changing pattern of light as the flock moves about filtering the tiny insects and crustaceans from the muddy water. The long, thin jaws are armed with a multitude of tiny, comb-like teeth which are used to trap the waterborne food. The sift feeds on the tiny plants and smaller animals that abound in the shallow waters of the deltas. Shrimps, worms and little ray-finned fish are stirred up by the long-toed feet and caught with the narrow jaws. Floating algae and weeds are strained from the water by the fine teeth. The conservation status of the sift is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the sift's wide range, and its tolerance to most of human activities, including being able to adapt to life in cities and suburbs.
St Kilda house mouse

The **St Kilda house mouse** (*Mus musculus muralis*) is a subspecies of the house mouse found only on the islands of the St Kilda archipelago of northwest Scotland. The St Kilda house mouse was once extinct since 1930 as a result of the native humans evacuating the island around the same time, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii due to demand for more kinds of exotic pets, although some were also introduced to the subspecies' former range once some humans returned to the archipelago in a few villages. It is uncertain when the subspecies first arrived on the islands, but it is possible that they were unwittingly transported there during the Norse period. Isolated on the islands, the St Kilda house mouse diverged from its relatives. It is up to twice the size of the mainland varieties, although it has a number of traits in common with a subspecies found on Mykines in the Faroe Islands, *Mus musculus mykinessiensis*. The St Kilda house mouse is an opportunistic omnivore. Its diet includes insects, snails, fruits, seeds, and grains, as well as human litter and animal carcasses. Most St Kilda house mice reach sexual maturity at about 35 days of age and begin mating when they are six weeks old. A single female St Kilda house mouse is capable of producing up to eight litters per year with an average of six pups per litter. After a 21-day pregnancy, these St Kilda house mouse pups are born naked, blind and dependent upon their mother for everything. At about 21 days the young are weaned from their mother and may begin to take short trips away from the nest to explore their surroundings. The conservation status of the St Kilda house mouse is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the St Kilda house mouse's tolerance to many of the human activities.
Stygimoloch

***Stygimoloch validum*** is a species of non-avian pachycephalosaurid (dome-headed) dinosaur that originally lived in North America during the Late Cretaceous as a extinct species, *Stygimoloch spinifer* (which may not be a valid species), and 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 North America to help boost biodiversity. The genus' existence during the Cretaceous is most likely invalid (being a juvenile form of the Cretaceous species of *Pachycephalosaurus*), and if true, *Stygimoloch* may be restricted to the Holocene (in the Cenozoic era) instead of the Mesozoic era. It is a relatively large pachycephalosaur, with its head being about 46 centimeters long (18 inches). Among native North American pachycephalosaurs, only *Pachycephalosaurus* is larger. Unlike other pachycephalosaurs, the domed skull is relatively small, slightly flattened from side to side, and pear-shaped; even when isolated this unusual dome can easily be distinguished from the broader, larger domes of *Pachycephalosaurus*. While the dome is reduced in size, the ornamentation over the skull is more elaborate than in any other pachycephalosaur. Short, conical hornlets covered the nose, and the back corners of the skull bare an enormous pair of massive, backward-pointing spikes, up to 5 centimeters in diameter (2 inches) and 15 centimeters long (6 inches); these are surrounded by two or three smaller spikes. Due to the small head dome, *Stygimoloch validum* is not known to head-butt, and is only as smart as antelopes rather than being about as smart as SciiFii's first recreated *Pachycephalosaurus* species. Instead, its skull's ornamentations functions for display, and are also used for self-defense, locking together and used in shoving matches, like the antlers of deer. The squamosal horns are also used to inflict pain during flank-butting. *Stygimoloch validum* is mostly herbivorous and primarily feeds on horsetails, ferns, cycads, leaves, pine needles, nuts, pinecones, shrubs, fruits, and mushrooms, although it is known to occasionally feed on grasses, vegetables, roots, shoots, insects, and carrion to supplement its diet. *Stygimoloch validum* is a social animal that usually lives in herds consisting of up to about 30 individuals at a time, led by a bull male. The conservation status of *Stygimoloch validum* is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the species' wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Spotted tiger

The **spotted tiger** (*Panthera tigris tendere*), also known as the **Philippine tiger**, is a subspecies of tiger that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the Philippines archipelago to help boost biodiversity. The spotted tiger is one of the smallest subspecies of tiger, being comparable in size to the Bali tiger or having a length between 190-220 centimeters (75 to 91 inches) long from head to end of tail and weighing around 65 and 100 kilograms (143 to 220 lbs). As its name suggests, the spotted tiger is unique among tigers, due to the fact that it has a distinctively marked coat featuring pale yellow to tan colored fur covered by spots that transition to rosettes on the sides, similarly to jaguars, as opposed to stripes, although it has a few stripes around its legs. Like jaguars and leopards, a melanistic black coat appears in some individuals. The spotted tiger's powerful bite allows it to pierce the carapaces of turtles and tortoises, and to employ an unusual killing method among pantherine cats: it bites directly through the skull of mammalian prey between the ears to deliver a fatal blow to the brain. Filling the similar ecological niche to leopards and jaguars elsewhere, it is adept at swimming and is largely a solitary, opportunistic, stalk-and-ambush apex predator. As a keystone species, it plays an important role in stabilizing ecosystems and in regulating prey populations. The conservation status of the spotted tiger is **Vulnerable** due to habitat loss and poaching, however, thanks to the conservationists, the spotted tiger is a protected species.
