Cervalces scotti

The **stag-moose** (*Cervalces scotti*), also known as the **elk-moose**, is a species of large moose that originally lived in North America during the Late Pleistocene epoch and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to the modern forests, swamps, and open woodlands of North America to help boost biodiversity. It has palmate antlers that are more complex than those of a common moose (*Alces alces*) and a muzzle more closely resembling that of a typical deer. It is the only known North American member of the genus Cervalces. It is about as large as the common moose, with an elk-like head, long legs, and palmate antlers that are more complex and heavily branching than the common moose. The stag-moose can reach 2.5 meters in length and a weight of 708.5 kg. The stag-moose is a herbivore like all known species of deer, feeding mainly on grasses, leaves, and shrubs. The conservation status of the stag-moose is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the stag-moose's wide natural range.
California elk

The **California elk** (*Cervus canadensis californianus*), also known as the **California wapiti**, is a subspecies of elk that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the wetlands, forests, open woodlands, and grasslands across Arizona, California, Nevada, and Oregon to help boost biodiversity. The California elk is an average-sized elk subspecies, growing to be about the size of the Manitoban elk (*Cervus canadensis manitobensis*) and weighing up to 700 pounds. In general appearance, build, and antler shape, the California elk resembles the Roosevelt elk, but with a greenish-brown fur coloration. From late spring to early fall, the California elk feeds upon herbaceous plants, such as grasses and sedges. During winter months, it feeds on woody plants, including highbush cranberry, elderberry, devil's club, newly planted seedlings (Douglas-fir and western redcedar), and among others. The California elk is also known to eat blueberries, mushrooms, lichens, salmonberries, apples, and fallen American baobob fruits. Male California elk have large antlers which they shed each year. Males also engage in ritualized mating behaviors during the rut, including posturing, antler wrestling (sparring), and bugling, a loud series of vocalizations that establishes dominance over other males and attracts females. Reproduction is most common when female California elk weigh at least 200 kilograms (440 lb). The gestation period is 240 to 262 days and the offspring weigh between 15 and 16 kilograms (33 and 35 lb). When the females are near to giving birth, they tend to isolate themselves from the main herd, and will remain isolated until the calf is large enough to escape predators. In the wild, the California elk rarely lives beyond 15 to 20 years, but in captivity it has been known to live over 25 years. The conservation status of the California elk is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the California elk's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Carpo

The **carpos** (*Carpotornis*) are a genus of birds belonging to the family Confuciusornithidae that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the world. Unlike other birds, the carpos lack wing feathers, as they have adapted their three-fingered arms for grasping and manipulating objects instead of flapping (although they can't pronate their hands due to having specialized wrists bones in their arms), and unlike other members of the Confuciusornithidae family, they have proportions of super-brainy omnivorous ground-dwelling runners, with weaker beaked jaws than their relatives because of their ability to manipulate objects and cook food. The carpos come in two extant species, the **common carpo** (*Carpotornis magnus*) and the **hairy carpo** (*Carpotornis primigenius*). The common carpo can be distinguished by its mostly-featherless pink-colored body with a thicker crest of dark brown feathers on its head, while the hairy carpo is known for having a layer of deep brown feathers on its pale-yellow skin. The carpos are omnivorous and feed on a wide range of food, including man-made food (even foods that are normally harmful to most birds such as chocolates are on the menu thanks to the bird's specialized immune and digestive system). The carpos are rather social species similarly to humans, and are known to live with other sapient species if they are not with other carpos. The carpos lay eggs, like most birds, with the female laying between 1 and 2 large, ostrich-sized eggs at a time, and the eggs hatch around 6 months later. The hatchlings are cared for by both of their parents for more than 10 years until they are sexually mature, and the carpos have an average lifespan of between 80 and 100 years. Carpos are very intelligent and sapient species, with the extreme brain power identical to those of humans, allowing the carpos to have a vast array of languages, cultures, religions, technologies, etc. The conservation status of both species of carpos are **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the carpos' wide range and their tolerance to many of the human activities, including being able to work and live with other sapient species.
Carnotaurus V2 (SciiFii)

***Carnotaurus tiger*** (name meaning "meat-eating bull tiger") is a species of large carnivorous abelisaurid theropod dinosaur that originally lived in what is now South America during the Late Cretaceous period, between about 72 and 69.9 million years ago, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and, unlike SciiFii's first (re)created *Carnotaurus* species, has been introduced throughout the modern open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and open woodlands across South America to help boost biodiversity and to help regulate modern populations of sauropods and ornithopods. *Carnotaurus tigris* is a lightly built, bipedal predator, measuring 7.5 to 9 meters (24.6 to 29.5 feet) in length and weighing at least 1.35 metric tons (1.33 long tons; 1.49 short tons). As a theropod, *Carnotaurus tigris* is highly specialized and distinctive. It has thick horns above the eyes, a feature unseen in most other carnivorous dinosaurs, and a very deep skull sitting on a muscular neck. *Carnotaurus tigris* is further characterized by small, vestigial forelimbs and long, slender hindlimbs. *Carnotaurus tigris* is covered in thick scaly skin and is protected from other similar-sized and smaller predators by thick circular armor that covers its neck, torso, and tail. The distinctive horns and the muscular neck are normally used in fighting conspecifics and/or for rivals that combate each other with quick head blows, either by slow pushes with the upper sides of their skulls, and/or by ramming each other head-on, using their horns as shock absorbers. *Carnotaurus tigris* is known to hunt down some of the very large prey such as sauropods, but normally, due to the build of the animal and filling the similar ecological niche to native modern cheetahs, *Carnotaurus tigris* normally preys on relatively smaller, faster animals and may even feed on carrion. Despite being a carnivore, it does not prey on mammalian prey (most likely due to genetic engineering by SciiFii's scientists). *Carnotaurus tigris* is well adapted for running and is one of the fastest large non-avian theropods. *Carnotaurus tigris* is a solitary animal throughout its life unless it is breeding season or if it has a mate and/or young. The conservation status of *Carnotaurus tigris* is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the animal's wide range.
Caracara prelutosus

The **La Brea caracara** (*Caracara prelutosus*), also known as the **northern crested caracara** and the **North American crested caracara**, is a species of bird of prey in the family Falconidae that originally lived in California during the Late Pleistocene 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 the western United States and Mexico to help boost biodiversity. The closest living relative of the La Brea caracara is the southern crested caracara (*Caracara plancus*). The La Brea caracara has a total length of 50–65 cm (20–26 in) and a wingspan of 120–132 cm (47–52 in). Its weight is 0.9–1.6 kg (2.0–3.5 lb), averaging 1,348 g (2.972 lb). Individuals from the colder northern part of its range average larger than those from tropical or subtropical regions (as predicted by Bergmann's rule) and are the largest type of caracara. The cap, belly, thighs, most of the wings and tail-tip are dark brownish, the auriculars (feathers surrounding the ear), throat and nape are whitish-buff, and the chest, neck, mantle, back, uppertail-coverts, crissum (the undertail coverts surrounding the cloaca) and basal part of the tail are whitish-buff barred dark brownish. In flight, the outer primaries show a large conspicuous whitish-buff patch ('window'), as in several other species of caracaras. The legs are yellow and the bare facial skin and cere are deep yellow to reddish-orange. Juveniles resemble adults, but are paler, with streaking on the chest, neck and back, grey legs, and whitish, later pinkish-purple, facial skin and cere. A bold, opportunistic raptor, the La Brea caracara is often seen walking around on the ground looking for food. It mainly feeds on carcasses of dead animals, but will steal food from other raptors, raid bird nests, and take live prey if the possibility arises (mostly insects or other small prey, but at least up to the size of a snowy egret). It may also eat fruit. It is dominant over the black and turkey vulture at carcasses. The La Brea caracara will take live prey that has been flushed by wildfire, cattle, and farming equipment. The opportunistic nature of this species means that the La Brea caracara seeks out the phenomena associated with its food, e.g. wildfires and circling vultures. It is typically solitary, but several individuals may gather at a large food source (e.g. dumps). Breeding takes place in spring/summer in the southern part of its range, but timing is less strict in warmer regions. The nest is a large open structure, typically placed on the top of a tree or palm, but sometimes on the ground. The average clutch size is two eggs. The conservation status of the La Brea caracara is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the La Brea caracara's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Carolina parakeet

The **Carolina parakeet** (*Conuropsis carolinensis*) is the only native species of parrot that naturally breeds in North America. Carolina parakeets were once extinct since 1918, but have since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii before reintroducing them back to North America, and the parrots are common in captivity, even in *Cenozoic Park*. Carolina parakeets are sometimes garden pests because they damage orchards and crops. The conservation status of the Carolina parakeet is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts.
Californian subtropical rainforest

The **Californian subtropical rainforest** is a moist broadleaf subtropical rainforest and is one of the largest rainforests in the world, encompassing over 7,000,000 km2 (2,700,000 sq mi), of which 3,800,000 km2 (1,467,200 sq mi) are covered by the rainforest. The Californian subtropical rainforest originally did not exist, but has since been artificially-created by SciiFii and spans from British Columbia all the way to Central California, and stretches from the Californian coast to eastern Utah. Despite this, the Californian subtropical rainforests has not replaced the "natural" forests, open woodlands, wetlands, grasslands, or shrubland habitats, and only replaced the dead habitats to boost the number of terrestrial plants and animals and to provide permanent homes to the originally-tropical animal species created by SciiFii. As the result of the rainforests' creation, many of the climates in the western United States and southwestern Canada have became much more humid and the temperatures have increased slightly to become subtropical as opposed to the temperate temperatures.

## Biodiversity

Wet tropical forests are the most species-rich biome, and tropical forests in the Americas are consistently more species rich than the wet forests in Africa and Asia. As one of the largest tract of tropical rainforest in the Americas, rivaling the Amazon rainforest, the Californians subtropical rainforests have unparalleled biodiversity. One in eleven known species in the world lives in the Californian subtropical rainforest. This constitutes some of the largest collection of living plants and animal species in the world. The region is home to about 2.5 million insect species, tens of thousands of plants, some 2,500 birds, and more than 2,000 mammals, both SciiFii's (re)creations and species that already existed before SciiFii was founded.
Charizard

A **charizard** (*Dracosauropteryx pokevus*) is a species of dinosaur-like pterosaur-like winged Aphanosaurian reptile that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced to the mountains throughout Eurasia and North America to help boost biodiversity. The closest relative of the charizard is the *Teleocrater*, another species of Aphanosaurian reptile. It is a lightly-built yet large reptile, growing to be about the height of a tall human and weigh about as much as a *Teratornis*. Unlike most other Aphanosaurian reptiles, the charizard is capable of standing and walking on its hindlegs. The charizard has bat-like wings that are large and strong enough to allow the animal to fly. The charizard is covered in thick orange hair-like filaments, known as pycnofibers, to keep the animal warm in snowy environments. During breeding seasons, the males have thick and large reddish-orange tufts at the ends of their tails, resembling flames at first glance, and are mainly used to attract females, which always lack the thick fire-like fail tufts of males. The charizard is a carnivore and usually feed on dead animals and insects, but can sometimes prey on live wild prey such as rabbits, wild goats, sheep, and baby cattle-type bovids (baby cows, baby yaks, etc). The charizard is a solitary reptile in most of its life except during breeding seasons, when males challenge other males as an attempt to win a right to mate. The conservation status of the charizard is **Least Concern** due to successfully conservation efforts and the charizard's wide range.

Chimaerasuchus

The **Chinese plant-eating crocodile** (*Chimaerasuchus sinensis*) is a species of crocodyliform that originally lived from the Early Cretaceous Wulong Formation in China as an extinct species, *Chimaerasuchus paradoxus*, 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 China, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Korean Peninsula to help boost biodiversity. The Chinese plant-eating crocodile is not a particularly large animal, growing to be around 1 metre (3.3 feet) long and is not very heavily built. Like some other crocodyliforms and unlike most, the Chinese plant-eating crocodile is a herbivore and primarily feeds on leaves, fruits, flowers, stems, nuts, cycads, ferns, and horsetails. Mating occurs in the spring. Males show dominance and interest by head bobbing, eventually chasing the female until he can catch her and subdue her. Within eight to ten weeks, the female will dig a nest and lay clutches of up to 50 eggs in a burrow of loose soil. These eggs hatch in 80 days with the bright green babies digging their way out of the sand. The banded bright brownish-yellow and dark green hatchlings first appear around June and are abundant in July. The conservation status of the Chinese plant-eating crocodile is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the Chinese plant-eating crocodile's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Cadborosaurus

The **cadborosaurus** (*Cadborotherium phoca*) is a species of large pinniped that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced to the Pacific coasts of North America to help boost biodiversity. The cadborosaurus is an enormous and long-bodied animal, growing to be a little more than 7 meters when fully grown. Unlike the adult cadborosaurus, which is fully aquatic and stays away from coastlines, the juvenile cadborosaurus is an amphibious animal and forages in rocky areas at the water's edge and even partially self-beach when foraging for invertebrates in tidal pools. The long, flexible and immensely powerful posterior part of the body means that the animal can pull and push itself back into the water even when near wholly beached. The muscular power in the posterior part of the body (a tail is absent: what looks like a tail are really two partially fused hindlimbs) also allows cadborosaurus to put on a phenomenal burst of speed and make it one of the fastest creatures of the seas, able to outstrip most vessels when at a sprint. It uses this speed in pursuing agile pelagic fish, its highly acute eyesight, hearing and sensitivity to vibrations and motion also contributing to its success as a predator. The conservation status of the cadborosaurus is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the cadborosaurus's wide range, and its tolerance to most of human activities, including the juveniles being able to adapt to life in coastal cities and suburbs, mainly living on beaches and seal docks.
Anthrocynodon

The **synapsoman** (*Anthrocynodon homomimoides*) is a species of non-mammal anomodont synapsid, most closely related to *Suminia*, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii. The synapsoman was created to simulate convergent evolution in non-mammal synapsids, and greatly resembles a human in many ways. The synapsoman has a humanoid body plan, an upright posture, a plantigrade (flat-footed) leg design, a short face, a large brain case, and a fine layer of hair on parts of its otherwise hairless body. However, compared with *Homo* apes, the synapsoman has a slim body with smooth scales on the hairless parts of its body, a complete lack of external ears and protruding nostrils, and puffy lips (and instead having only ear holes, a flattened nose, and lizard-like lips), making it resemble a fictionalized All Todays human. The synapsoman is a medium-sized species, growing to be about 6 feet (1.8 meters) tall and weighing about 74.8 kilograms (165 lbs) on average. The synapsoman is an omnivore and feeds on a wide range of edible food sources. The synapsoman is a social animal that has a nearly identical lifestyle to those of humans of the genus *Homo*, but unlike humans, synapsomen do not produce milk and they feed their young by regurgitating food into their youngs' mouths. The synapsoman completely lacks any external reproductive parts, unlike mammals including humans, so clothes are just optional for the species. The synapsomen have a gestation period of between 7 and 8 months, and the young grow up at the same rate as common humans (*Homo sapiens*). Like humans, synapsomen care for their young until they're fully grown. The lifespan of the synapsoman is between 100-150 years. Like other sapient species, the synapsoman has an extremely heighten intelligence, and the species has a wide range of languages (including English, etc), cultures, religions, technologies, and among other parts of their civilization, most similarly to humans. The conservation status of the synapsoman is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the synapsoman's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities, allowing the synapsoman to work and live with humans and other sapient species in cities and suburban areas.
California wolf

The **California wolf** (*Canis lupus californianus*) is a subspecies of gray wolf that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the wetlands, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, scrublands, and mountainous ecosystems across California, Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, and western Mexico (including Baja California) to help boost biodiversity. This subspecies generally weighs 70–150 pounds (32–68 kg) and stands at 26–32 inches, making it one of the largest subspecies of the gray wolf in North America. The California wolf is distinguished from many other North American gray wolf subspecies by its smaller, narrower skull and its darker pelt, which is yellowish-gray and heavily clouded with black over the back and tail. The California wolf is a social animal. Its populations consist of packs and lone wolves, most lone wolves being temporarily alone while they disperse from packs to form their own or join another one. The California wolf preys primarily on the tapir, chalicothere, bison, pronghorn, moose, elk, California whitetail deer, mule deer, American mountain deer, American sambar deer, California marsh deer, North American brocket, American muntjac, cupine, and the beaver, though it is an opportunistic animal and will prey upon other species if the chance arises. But, for the most part, small prey animals do not make up a large part of its diet. When an individual or a pack is able to take down numerous prey, the amount a California wolf eats daily will generally make up about 10–21% of its body mass, though there have been recorded instances of an individual eating up to 37% of its body mass. However, when prey is not as plentiful, California wolves are able to survive for considerably long periods of time while eating only small amounts. Cannibalism, in times of severe food shortage, occurs, as a pack will kill and eat an injured or weak member of the group. The conservation status of the California wolf is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the California wolf's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Cave hyena

The **cave hyena** (*Crocuta crocuta spelaea*), also known as the **European spotted hyena**, is a subspecies of spotted hyena that originally ranged from the Iberian Peninsula to eastern Siberia during the Pleistocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced throughout modern Eurasia, both mainland and Great Britain, to help boost biodiversity. It is one of the best known mammals originally from the Ice Age. The cave hyena is a highly specialised animal, with its progressive and regressive features being more developed than in its African relative. It usually preys on large mammals (primarily wild horses, steppe bison and woolly rhinoceros), although it can also feed on carrion, as well as wild pigs and small animals (such as rabbits, hares, etc). Like its African relative, it is a social animal that is led by a dominant female. The conservation status of the cave hyena is **Least Conern** due to successful conservation efforts, the cave hyena's wide natural range, and its tolerance to most of human activities in a manner similar to coyotes, allowing it to survive and flourish in parts of human settlements, where they usually feed on man-made leftovers and garbage, much like many adaptable carnivorous mammals.
Atlantis

**Atlantis** is a large chain of islands that emerged from several hotspots on the mid-atlantic ridge off the coast of Florida and South Carolina. Atlantis originally did not exist, but has since been artificially created by SciiFii as an attempt to, not only boost biodiversity, but also to make more secure environments for biodiversity. The islands of Atlantis are home to a multitude of endemic species, many of which are found nowhere else on Earth. There are several cities, towns, and many rural areas where humans and other sapient species, including the only native sapient species, the plesiadapiform known as the Critias spearfisher, primarily live.

Citipati

***Citipati communis*** is a species of non-avian oviraptorid dinosaur that originally lived in Asia during the Late Cretaceous period, about 75 million to 71 million years ago, as an extinct species, *Citipati osmolskae*, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii. *Citipati communis* is a medium-sized animal, with an average length of around 9.5 feet (2.9 meters) in length and weigh about 75–83 kg (165–183 lb). Like most other oviraptorids, it is a herbivore that primarily feeds on fruits, nuts, seeds, leaves, pine needles, cycads, ferns, and horsetails. *Citipati communis* is a social dinosaur that lives in flocks of up to about 25 at a time, and during the breeding seasons, the males' wings turn bright red and the males use them to intimidate rival males and to attract the females. In just 2-3 months after mating, the female *Citipati communis* lays around 22 eggs at a time, which hatch around 2 months later and the young are cared for by their mothers until they are subadults about 5 months later. *Citipati communis* is a common animal in farms and petting zoos throughout the world, due to many people requesting and commissioning this species to be sold as guard animals to protect chickens, ducks, etc, as well as one of many available animals to pet and feed in the petting zoos.
Bunyip

A **bunyip** (*Thylacophoca hirsuticus*), also known as the **marsupial seal**, is a species of carnivorous fish-eating crustacean-eating marsupial that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced to the wetlands of Australia to help boost biodiversity. It is a member of the marsupial family, *Dasyuromorpha*, which also includes quolls, the so-called marsupial mice, the Tasmanian devil (*Sarcophilus harrisii*) and the Thylacine (*Thylacinus cynocephalus*). Unlike most other marsupials, the bunyip simply doesn't possess a pattern of ontogeny that involves pouches and babies that need to crawl anywhere with their hands: in other words, the bunyip is a pouchless marsupial. The bunyip is able to rest and move on land but mostly moving constantly through connected waterways where possible (and occasionally becoming seasonally trapped in large lakes). It does not occur in habitats already frequented by crocodiles. When on land, its dark, shaggy form and ability to stand upright enable it to mimic trees. The mother bunyips normally give birth to their joeys in secluded dens on land. Large, highly mobile floppy ears are used as visual signals, bunyips have acute eyesight and do not communicate via sound or scent, but these are folded flat against the head and neck when the animal is submerged. The comparatively long, trailing pelt of the bunyip is oily and ordinarily traps a layer of air as do the also long-haired pelts of some other swimming mammals like desmans and some rodents. Forelimbs have provided the main propulsive force during swimming throughout bunyip evolution and have become substantially enlarged while the hindlimbs and tail, though still present, are reduced and typically hidden from view within the shaggy pelage. The conservation status of the bunyip is **Vulnerable** due to some habitat loss and superstition, when people fear that bunyips may prey on humans, however, this is not true as bunyips only feed on fish and crustaceans, therefore, bunyips pose no danger to humans in real life. The conservationists are working hard to protect bunyips against habitat loss and the conservationists are currently educating to many that bunyips poses no threat to people.
Caulkicephalus

***Caulkicephalus cristata*** is a species of anhanguerid pterosaur that originally lived from the Isle of Wight off the coast of England during the Early Cretaceous period, about 130 million years ago, as an extinct species, *Caulkicephalus trimicrodon*, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii. *Caulkicephalus cristata* is a rather medium-sized pterosaur, having a wingspan that usually reaches around 16 feet (5 metres) on average. It is a carnivore that primarily feeds on fish, squid, crustaceans, and worms, although it is known to occasionally snack on man-made food with meat in them such as hot dogs and burgers, to name a few. It is usually a solitary animal, living most of its life alone, but if and when there's enough food, this species can congregate in large flocks. *Caulkicephalus cristata* 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. *Caulkicephalus cristata* 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.
Calamites

The **yggdrasil** (*Calamites vulgaris*) is a species of arborescent (tree-like) horsetail to which the horsetails (genus *Equisetum*) are closely related. The yggdrasil originally lived during the Carboniferous Period as an extinct species of *Calamites* and the genus itself was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii due to demand for more exotic flora for their gardens, although some of the yggdrasils have been found growing and spreading in the rainforests and wetlands across the modern southeastern United States, Southeast Asia, and parts ot Australia. Unlike their herbaceous cousins, the yggdrasils are medium-sized tree-like plants, growing to heights of 30-50 meters (100-160 feet). These plants cover large areas by the means of underground rhizomes that frequently sprouts new yggdrasils. Their growth is extremely fast, with the individual yggdrasils reaching full size in just a decade and then being replaced by new ones. It is unknown if this is natural or if the growth rate was accelerated by genetic tampering with a species of bamboo. The yggdrasils cannot tolerate extremely cold temperatures or dry conditions, and need to have their roots constantly waterlogged, which prevents their spread into arid areas. The average lifespan of the yggdrasils are around 10 years. The yggdrasil's hollow wood is used by sapient species to create a unique, musical instrument called the torparn. The fresh yggdrasil sprouts can be cooked and eaten, but are mildly toxic to many animals if not prepared properly. Although the yggdrasils have almost no natural predators, a few species are able to feast on the yggdrasils with no ill effects, such as stegodonts, orangutans, ceratopsians, and ornithopods. The conservation status of the yggdrasil is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the yggdrasil's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Cheke's wood rail

The **Cheke's wood rail** (*Dryolimnas chekei*), also known as **Sauzier's wood rail**, is a species of rail which is endemic to the Mascarene island of Mauritius. The Cheke's wood rail was once extinct since pre-18th century, but has since been brought back from extinction and reintroduced to the Mascarene island of Mauritius. The closest relative of the Cheke's wood rail is the white-throated rail (*Dryolimnas cuvieri*). The Cheke's wood rail is about the size of the white-throated rail, with the wingspan of up to about 33 centimeters across on average. The Réunion rail is entirely flightless like its relatives, the white-throated rails. The Cheke's wood rail is carnivorous and primarily feeds on crabs, frogs, small lizards, and occasionally bird eggs. The conservation status of the Cheke's wood rail is **Vulnerable** due to some habitat loss and historic poaching, however, thanks to the conservationists, the Cheke's wood rail is a protected species.
Camel hare

The **camel hare** (*Camelagus deserticus*) is a species of large deer-sized lagomorph that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the deserts of Asia to help boost biodiversity. The camel hare is adapt to life in the desert thanks to its fat on its head to store fat in case of food and/or water shortages, as well as long eyelashes to keep sand out of its eyes. The camel hare is purely herbivorous and it feeds primarily on a wide range of desert-adapted plants. The lifestyles and lifecycles of the camel hare is almost identical to those of the South American guanacos. The conservation status of the camel hare is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the camel hare's wide range, and its tolerance to most of human activities, including being able to adapt to life in parts of cities and suburbs.
California spectacled bear

The **California spectacled bear** (*Tremarctos californianus*), also known as the **California cave bear**, the **Western American spectacled bear**, and the **California short-faced bear**, is a species of bear of the subfamily Tremarctinae. The California spectacled bear originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced to the modern swamps, marshlands, forests, and open woodlands of California, Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, and Washington to help boost biodiversity. The California spectacled bear is larger than its relative, the South American spectacled bear (*Tremarctos ornatus*), growing to be about the size of a medium-size grizzly bear and weighing up to 300 kg. California spectacled bears are some of the North American bear species that are habitually arboreal, alongside the American black bear (*Ursus americanus*). Although California spectacled bears are solitary and tend to isolate themselves from one another to avoid competition, they are not territorial. They have even been recorded to feed in small groups at abundant food sources. California spectacled bears are more herbivorous than most other bears; normally about 5 to 7% of their diets is meat. The most common foods for these bears include cactus, bromeliads (especially Puya ssp., Tillandsia ssp. and Guzmania ssp.) palm nuts, bamboo hearts, frailejon (Espeletia spp.), orchid bulbs, fallen fruit on the forest floor, and unopened palm leaves. They will also peel back tree bark to eat the nutritious second layer. Much of this vegetation is very tough to open or digest for most animals, and the bear is one of the few species in its range to exploit these food sources. The California spectacled bear, along with the South American spectacled bear and the Florida spectacled bear, has the largest zygomatic mandibular muscles relative to its body size and the shortest muzzle of any living bear, slightly surpassing the relative size of the giant panda's (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) morphology here. Not coincidentally, three of those bear species are known for extensively consuming tough, fibrous plants. The conservation status of the California spectacled bear is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the California spectacled bear's wide range.
Buru

A **buru** (*Varanus paxillumocauda*) is a species of monitor lizard that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced to the riverbanks and wetlands across India to help boost biodiversity. The buru is an aquatic varanid, and it is the most specialised aquatic varanid known and by far the most cryptic. Its deep, laterally compressed paddle-shaped tail, fully webbed feet and serrated dorsal fringe are novel features for a varanid: they have so confused local people that it's no wonder that the buru has been mistaken as fish-like. The buru is also especially large (3.5-4m long), and also unusually coloured for a varanid. Its heterodonty (it combines fang-like teeth with rounded, posterior ones) is not unprecedented within the group, however, and enable it to be an ecological generalist, able to exploit a broad diversity of prey. Its long, flexible neck sometimes enables it to reach the surface when submerged in shallow water (only its nostrils and snout tip break the surface) and it has evolved a suction-feeding habit not seen in any other lizard: by rapidly opening the jaws and expanding the throat, it can engulf and capture aquatic crustaceans and other submerged prey. It is also an expert digger, capable of excavating long burrows to escape drought, and it is further unique in being viviparous, its babies being born alive beneath the water. The conservation status of the buru is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the buru's wide range, and its tolerance to most of human activities, including being able to adapt to life in parts of the cities and suburbs.
Clevosaurus

The **common tuatara** (*Clevosaurus communis*) is a species of rhynchocephalian reptile, closely related to the New Zealand tuataras (*Sphenodon punctatus*), that originally lived everywhere from the Late Triassic and the Early Jurassic periods, except Australia or Antarctica, as many extinct species of *Clevosaurus* and the genus itself was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the jungles, swamps, marshlands, forests, and open woodlands throughout Eurasia, Africa, North America, and South America to help boost biodiversity. The common tuatara is a small reptile, growing on average to be about the size of the Australasian blue-tongued skinks (*Tiliqua*). It is an insectivore that primarily feeds on cockroaches, beetles, moths, praying mantises, snails, slugs, worms, and among other invertebrate prey. It is a solitary animal that spends throughout most of its entire life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the common tuatara is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the common tuatara's wide range and its tolerance to most of human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
Burton's Loch Ness giant otter

The **Burton's Loch Ness giant otter** (*Megalolutria englishii*), also known as the **Burton's giant Loch Ness otter**, is a species of otter that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout Great Britain (including Loch Ness of Scotland) to help boost biodiversity. The Burton's Loch Ness giant otter is based off of a supposed (though likely a hoax) sighting in 1930s of an otter-like from of Loch Ness monster. The Burton's Loch Ness giant otter is a very large species of otter, even bigger than the South American giant otters, growing to be around 10 feet (3 meters) long and weigh around 200-250 pounds when fully grown. Atypical of mustelids, the Burton's Loch Ness giant otter is a social species, with family groups typically supporting three to eight members. The groups are centered on a dominant breeding pair and are extremely cohesive and cooperative. Although generally peaceful, the species is territorial, and aggression has been observed between groups. The giant otter is diurnal, being active exclusively during daylight hours. It is among the noisiest otter species, and distinct vocalizations have been documented that indicate alarm, aggression, and reassurance. The Burton's Loch Ness giant otter shows a variety of adaptations suitable to an amphibious lifestyle, including exceptionally dense fur, a wing-like tail, and webbed feet. The species prefers freshwater rivers and streams, which are usually seasonally flooded, and may also take to freshwater lakes and springs. It constructs extensive campsites close to feeding areas, clearing large amounts of vegetation. The giant otter subsists mainly on a diet of fish, particularly carp and catfish, but it can also eat crabs, turtles, snakes and other small reptiles. It has no serious natural predators other than humans, although it must compete with other species, including the Eurasian otter (*Lutra lutra*), for food resources. The conservation status of the Burton's Loch Ness giant otter is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the Burton's Loch Ness giant otter's range.
Camptosaurus

***Camptosaurus modernii*** (name meaning "modern flexible (back) lizard") is a species of social medium-sized bipedal iguanodontid dinosaur that originally lived in what is now North America during the Late Jurassic and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and now lives in Cretaceous Park located in Sacramento, California. It can grow to be about 23 feet long, weigh about as much as a very large white rhinoceros, and like them, they are herbivores, feeding mainly on fruits, leaves, shrubs, nuts, seeds, ferns, cycads, and horsetails. It normally lives in herds that contain up to around 15 individuals at a time, but in areas with enough food and space, *Camptosaurus modernii* can live in herds that can include as much as 40 individuals. Currently, SciiFii is in talks with game hunters on introducing *Camptosaurus modernii* into some of North American ecosystems, as long as they don't outcompete native herbivores or damage native plants.
Carodnia

The **tapire-iauara** (*Carodnia terrestris*) is a species of South American ungulate found in the wetlands and rainforests across South American, and is the only living member of the order, *Xenungulata*. It was once extinct since the Early Eocene as an extinct species of *Carodnia*, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern South American rainforests and wetlands to help boost biodiversity. It is a rather large animal, about the size of a medium-sized cow, and resembles a trunkless version of the tapir. It is a browsing herbivore that primarily feeds on fruits, leaves, nuts, and flowers. It is a solitary animal that lives in most of its life except during breeding seasons. The conservation status of the tapire-iauara is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the tapire-iauara's wide natural range and its tolerance to most of human activities.
Cozumel fox

The **Cozumel fox** ("TBA") is a species of small gray fox native to the island of Cozumel, Mexico, hence its name. The species was once either extinct or on the brink of extinction due to human activities, however, it has since been brought back from extinction or near extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to Cozumel. The Cozumel fox is up to 80% smaller than its relatives on the neighbouring Yucatan peninsula and has been isolated for over 5,000 years. The Cozumel fox has gray fur on its head, a ruddy red coloring on its sides, white fur on its belly, throat and the lower half of its face, and a black stripe on the dorsal surface of its tail. In general the coat is darker and duller hued than that of the gray fox. Before the first molt pups are woolly and have a generally darker coat than adult foxes. A brown phase, with the grey and black fur of the body replaced by a sandy brown and a deeper brown, may occur in some populations. The Cozumel fox molts once a year between August and November. The Cozumel fox eats fruits, insects, birds, eggs, crabs, lizards, and small mammals, including deer mice. The Cozumel fox tends to move around by itself, rather than in packs. It is generally nocturnal, although with peaks of activity at dawn and dusk. Activity also fluctuates with the season: It is more active during the day in summer than it is in winter. The Cozumel fox typically forms monogamous breeding pairs, which are frequently seen together beginning in January and through the breeding season, from late February to early March. The gestation period is 50–63 days. The female Cozumel fox gives birth in a den, a typical litter having one to five pups, with an average of two or three. Pups are born in the spring and emerge from the den in early summer; the mother lactates for 7–9 weeks. Sexual maturity is reached at 10 months, and the females usually breed within the first year. Cozumel foxes live for 4–6 years in the wild and for up to 9 years in captivity. The conservation status of the Cozumel fox is **Endangered** due to some habitat loss, hurricanes, loss of groundwater, and introduced predators (boa constrictors and feral dogs), however, thanks to the conservationists, the Cozumel fox is a protected species and its population trend is increasing.
Columbian mammoth

A **Columbian mammoth** (*Mammuthus columbii*) is a species of large elephant native throughout Mexico and the United States, except northeastern United States. It was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and was reintroduced by SciiFii's conservationists to boost biodiversity and to allow extinct animals to retain their own ecological niches. The Columbian mammoth is among the largest known land mammals alive today, larger than an African elephant in size, although the Asian straight-tusked elephant is much bigger. It is a herbivore that mainly feeds on grasses, shrubs, as well as some leaves and fruits, but can occasionally feast on branches in times of hardship. It is a social herd-dwelling animal, with adult females as well as young males and females living together, which are leaded by the matriarch (female leader), but bull male Columbian mammoths live in mostly solitary lives unless it is breeding seasons, when males have musth and males find suitable females to mate with. The conservation status of the Columbian mammoth is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts.
Chinese ghoul

The **Chinese ghoul** (*Sinotroodon monstrum*) is a species of non-avian troodont theropod dinosaur that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and shrublands across mainland Eastern Asia (including China) to help boost biodiversity. The Chinese ghoul is a rather average-sized troodont, growing to be about 0.9 metres (3.0 feet) in height, 2 metres (6.6 feet) in length, and up to 50 kilograms (110 lb) in mass, with the largest individuals comparable in size to a medium-sized *Unenlagia*. Chinese ghouls have very long, slender hind limbs, allowing these animals to be able to run quickly. They have large, retractable sickle-shaped claws on the second toes, which are raised off the ground when running. Their eyes are very large, giving these animals a partially nocturnal lifestyle, and the Chinese ghouls also have slightly forward facing, giving them some degree of depth perception. The Chinese ghoul has some of the largest known brains of any non-sapient non-avian dinosaur group, relative to their body mass (comparable to birds). The Chinese ghoul's cerebrum-to-brain-volume ratio is 31.5% to 63% of the way from a nonavian reptile proportion to a truly avian one. The Chinese ghoul is an omnivore that is primarily carnivorous, feeding mainly on insects, crustaceans, frogs, lizards, snakes, eggs, birds, small mammals, and carrion, although it can occasionally feed on fruits and leaves to supplement its diet. The Chinese ghoul is primarily a solitary animal that mainly spends throughout most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the Chinese ghoul is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the Chinese ghoul's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
