North American screamer

The **North American screamer** (*Chauna virginianus*), also known as the **ring-necked screamer**, is a species of screamer belonging to the order Anseriformes that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, open woodlands, estuaries, lake sides, and riverbanks across North America to help boost biodiversity. The closest living relative of the North American screamer is the northern screamer (*Chauna chavaria*). The North American screamer averages 81–95 centimeters (32–37 inches) long and weighs 3–5 kg (6.6–11.0 lb). It is one of the heaviest, although not necessarily the longest, of the screamers. The wingspan is around 170 centimeters (67 inches). Among standard measurements, the wing chord measures 54 centimeters (21 inches), the tail 23.2 centimeters (9.1 inches), the culmen 4.5 centimeters (1.8 inches) and the long tarsus 11 centimeters (4.3 inches). The North American screamer greatly resembles the southern screamer (*Chauna torquata*), however, it has paler feathers and reddish-purple skin around its eyes as opposed to red skin. The North American screamer is a good swimmer, having partially webbed feet, but prefers to move on the ground. The bony spurs on its wings are used for protection against rival screamers and other enemies. Although it is non-migratory, it is an excellent flier. It lives in large flocks, feeding on the ground in grasslands and cultivated fields until nesting season, when birds pair off. Their unfussy diet makes them amenable to domestication and they make excellent guard animals due to their loud screams. The southern screamer establishes monogamous relationships that last its lifetime, estimated to be 15 years. Courtship involves loud calling by both sexes, which can be heard up to two miles away. For the nest the couple makes a big platform of reeds, straws, and other aquatic plants in an inaccessible place near water. The female lays between two and seven white eggs. The couple share incubation, which takes 43 to 46 days. Chicks leave the nest as soon as they hatch, but the parents care for them for several weeks. The fledging period takes 8 to 14 weeks. The conservation status of the North American screamer is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American screamer's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
North Atlantic giant octopus

The **North Atlantic giant octopus** (*Enteroctopus atlanticus*) is a large octopus that originally did not exist, but has been since created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the coasts New England and the Gulf of Maine to help boost biodiversity. The North Atlantic giant octopus is very similar to its cousin, the North Pacific giant octopus, but is slightly smaller, with its tentacle span up to 25 feet. They are dark orange in color. They prey on lobsters, crabs, and bivalves. The conservation status of the North Atlantic giant octopus is **Least Concern** due to abundant food sources, successful conservation efforts, and the North Atlantic giant octopus's wide range. The populations of the North Atlantic giant octopus is actually flourishing, so the population trend is increasing.
Northern blue macaw

The **northern blue macaw** (*Anodorhynchus americanum*), also known as the **spirit macaw**, is a species of large macaw that originally did not exist, but has been since created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, open woodlands, shrublands, and scrublands throughout the United States and Mexico to help boost biodiversity. The northern blue macaw is one of the largest "natural" macaws and among the largest parrots capable of long-distance flying, growing to be about the size of a similarly-looking hyacinth macaw (*Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus*). Its feathers are entirely dark blue, lighter above. However, the neck feathers can sometimes be slightly grey. The ring around the parrots eyes and area just underneath the beak are a dark yellow. The northern blue macaw is entirely herbivorous and primarily feeds on nuts, fruits, seeds, flowers, nectar, and, occasionally, cacti flesh (in more arid reigons). Northern blue 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 northern blue 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 northern blue macaw is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the northern blue macaw's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
North American mata mata

The **North American mata mata**, **North American mata-mata**, or **North American matamata** (*Chelus floridana*) is a species of freshwater turtle, most closely related to the South American mata mata (*Chelus fimbriata*), that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the wetlands, lakes, rivers, and ponds across North America to help boost biodiversity. The North American mata mata is a large, sedentary turtle with a large, triangular, flattened head with many tubercles and flaps of skin, and a "horn" on its long and tubular snout. Three barbels occur on the chin and four additional filamentous barbels at the upper jaw, which is neither hooked nor notched. The North American mata mata's brown or black, oblong carapace can measure up to 95 centimeters (37 inches) at adult age. The full adult weight is 21 kg (46 lb). The North American mata mata's plastron is reduced, narrowed, hingeless, shortened towards the front, and deeply notched at the rear with narrow bridges. These are meant to allow the turtle to resemble a piece of bark, camouflaging it from possible predators. The plastron and bridges are cream to yellow or brown. The head, neck, tail, and limbs are grayish brown on adults. The neck is longer than the vertebra under its carapace and is fringed with small skin flaps along both sides. Hatchlings show a pink to reddish tinge in the underside edge of their carapaces and plastrons that gradually disappear as they grow. Each forefoot has five webbed claws. Males have concave plastrons and longer, thicker tails than females. The appearance of the North American mata mata's shell resembles a piece of bark, and its head resembles fallen leaves. As it remains motionless in the water, its skin flaps enable it to blend into the surrounding vegetation until a fish comes close. The North American mata mata thrusts out its head and opens its large mouth as wide as possible, creating a low-pressure vacuum that sucks the prey into its mouth, known as suction feeding. The North American mata mata snaps its mouth shut, the water is slowly expelled, and the fish is swallowed whole; the North American mata mata cannot chew due to the way its mouth is constructed. Males display for females by extending their limbs, lunging their heads toward the females with mouths agape, and moving the lateral flaps on their heads. Nesting occurs from March through May. The 28 to 52 brittle, spherical, 35 mm-diameter eggs are deposited in a clutch. The conservation status of the North American mata mata is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American mata mata's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Pachycephalosaurus V3

***Pachycephalosaurus ovis*** is a is a species of bipedal omnivorous pachycephalosaurid dinosaur that was originally extinct, but was brought back by SciiFii. Like most other pachycephalosaurids, *Pachycephalosaurus* is a bipedal animal, usually a herbivore, but can supplement its diet for meat and insects at times. It possesses long hindlimbs and small forelimbs. Pachycephalosaurus ovis is slightly larger than Pachycephalosaurus sapiens, but not as large as Pachycephalosaurus V2, and unlike Pachycephalosaurus sapiens, it is non-sapient, very similar in ecological role and behavior to wild sheep, goats, and musk oxen. The thick skull domes of this species is strong, though not quite used as often for head-butting compared with Pachycephalosaurus elegans, due to the less specialized neck vertebrae, its thick domes are normally used for camouflage, blending in with the rocky environments around them. Pachycephalosaurus ovis was originally planned to be included in **Cretaceous Park**, but zoos have commisioned for Pachycephalosaurus ovis to be in the zoos worldwide, and ever since zoos now have Pachycephalosaurus ovis almost everywhere.
North American paca

The **North American paca** (*Cuniculus americanus*), also known as the **northern paca**, is a species of large rodent of the paca family, *Cuniculidae*, which originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, marshlands, forests, meadows, open woodlands, and grasslands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The North American paca is almost identical to the lowland paca (*Cuniculus paca*) of South America, having coarse fur without underfur, dark brown to black on the upper body and white or yellowish on the underbelly. It usually has three to five rows of white spots along its sides, against a dark grey background. It has thick strong legs, with four digits in the forefeet and five in the hind feet (the first and fifth are reduced); the nails function as hooves. The tail is short and hairless. The zygomatic arch is expanded laterally and dorsally and is used as a resonating chamber, a unique feature among mammals. An adult North American paca weighs between 6 and 12 kilograms (13 and 26 lb). Each litter has two young North American pacas, sometimes three. They usually have two to four young a year with a gestation period of about 110–115 days. North American pacas are sexually mature at about 10 months. A North American paca usually lives up to 14 years. The North American paca is mostly nocturnal and solitary and does not vocalize very much. It lives in forested habitats near water, preferably smaller rivers, and dig simple burrows about 2 m (6 ft 7 in) below the surface, usually with more than one exit. It can also sometimes live in burrows created by other animals. The North American paca is a good swimmer and usually heads for the water to escape danger, as it can stay under water for several minutes. It also is a very good climber and it searches for fruit in the trees. The North American paca can be considered an important seed distributor, since its diet includes leaves, stems, roots, seeds, and fruit, especially avocados, mangos and zapotes. It sometimes stores food within its mouth. The conservation status of the North American paca is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American paca's wide range, its immunity against any kind of diseases and viruses, and its tolerance to most of human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
North American marine iguana

The **North American marine iguana** (*Amblyrhynchus sina*), also known as the **common marine iguana** and the **American marine iguana**, is a species of iguana, closely related to the Galapagos marine iguana (*Amblyrhynchus cristatus*), that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the coastal islands and shorelines across both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of North America to help boost biodiversity. Unique among modern-styled lizards, it is a marine reptile that has the ability to forage in the sea for algae, which makes up almost all of its diet. Large males are able to dive to find this food source, while females and smaller males feed during low tides. They mainly live in colonies on rocky shores where they bask after visiting the relatively cold water or intertidal zone, but can also be seen in marshes, mangrove and beaches. Large males defend territories for a short period, but smaller males have other breeding strategies. After mating, the female digs a nest hole in the soil where she lays her eggs, leaving them to hatch on their own a few months later. North American marine iguanas vary in appearance between the different islands as well as the mainland's shorelines and several subspecies are recognized. The conservation status of the North American marine iguana is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American marine iguana's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Northwestern liandaolong

The **northwestern liandaolong** (*Seculasaurus sylvis*), also known as the **blue-headed liandaolong**, is a species of therizinosaur that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the temperate, boreal, and alpine forests and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. Although these two-meter herbivores are outwardly similar to the tirgs primarily from the mountains, they are still liandaolong (sub-clade Liandaolongini): usually lowland creatures. Blue-head feathers are densely packed and oily, to shield the skin from the chilling damp, while the eyes and nostrils are placed high, to warn the herbivore of approaching predators. Northwestern liandaolongs, with their long, flexible necks and long legs, look almost like ornithomimids, but their ancestry is given away by their enlarged bellies and hyper-extendable hallux claws. Northwestern liandaolongs can be specious in the northern prairies of North America, and their diversity tapers off quickly south of the 55th parallel (where competition from the grasslands deer and pronghorns can occasionally become fierce), but they thrive in the heavily forested areas. Like the trigs, the liandaolongs are more adapted to forest life. They may be small creatures, but like their relatives, they are armored with 1.5 foot long claws that can do a good amount of damage to a potential attacker. Spring sees small natal herds defending their brood in sheltered gallery forest nests. Summer has the wobbly chicks following their parents in accumulating herds that may number up to half a million adults. Parents and "aunties" frequently dribble crop milk into the mouths of their rapidly growing chicks. The conservation status of the northwestern liandaolong is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the northwestern liandaolong's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Oviraptor

***Oviraptor modernus*** (name meaning "modern egg thief") is a species of feathered medium-sized omnivorous oviraptorid theropod dinosaur originally from the Late Cretaceous Mongolia and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction and now lives in the **Cretaceous Safari** tour in **Cretaceous Park** located at Sacramento, California.

*Oviraptor modernus* is normally a gentle herbivore and mainly feeds on leaves, fruits, shrubs, nuts, seeds, roots, tubers, and bulbs, but can also feed on insects, fish, and, rarely, carrion to supplement its diet. Despite its genus name and its meaning, *Oviraptor modernus* does not feast on eggs of other dinosaurs, unlike how popular media showed. It is almost entirely covered in feathers, making it resemble a large ground bird, and like many ground birds, *Oviraptor modernus* is a social animal and lives in flocks up to about 7-13 members in a single group. During mating seasons, the throats and wings of male *Oviraptor modernus* turn red and they use these bright colors to intimidate each other until one looses, and the winner gets a right to mate. The eggs are laid around 1-2 months after mating seasons, the eggs hatch around 2-3 months after being laid, and the young are cared for by their mothers until they are old enough to fend for themselves.
North American hutia

The **North American hutia** (*Capromys californianus*) is a species of hutia, most closely related to the Desmarest's hutia (*Capromys pilorides*), that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and mountainous regions across mainland North America to help boost biodiversity. The North American hutia has a head-and-body length of 31–60 cm (12–24 inches), a tail that is 14–29 cm (5.5–11.4 inches) long, and weigh 2.8–8.5 kg (6.2–18.7 lb). It has thick, coarse fur which extends to the tip of the tail. The colour of the body fur varies from black to brown, with a dark tan colour and red also seen. The body is stocky and the legs short. It moves with a slow, waddling gait, but can perform a quick hop when pursued. The feet have five toes with large claws which assist the animal in climbing. The stomach is divided into three compartments by constrictions in the gut and is among the most complex of any rodent. The North American hutia is an omnivore and primarily feeds on bark, leaves, nuts, seeds, and fruits, although it will occasionally take small vertebrates such as lizards. North American hutias normally live in pairs, but can be found individually or in small groups. They are diurnal and, during the night, they rest in burrows, hollows in rocks or trees. Both males and females scent mark their territory with urine. They breed between mid-spring to early summer, with a gestation period of between 100 and 130 days (normally around 110 to 115 days), although peak breeding season is in June/July. They normally produce between two and four young, weighing an average of 230 grams (8 oz). The young are precocial, with fur, fully open eyes and the ability to walk. They are weaned at around five months and reach sexual maturity at around ten months. In captivity they live for eight to eleven years. The conservation status of the North American hutia is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American hutia's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Peep

The **peep** (*Mirasaura perita*) is a species of ornithopod, most closely related to *Thescelosaurus*, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii. The peep is a medium-sized species that usually grows to be about 6.6 feet (2 meters) long, standing about 60 centimeters (2 feet) tall at the shoulders, and weigh about as much as a kori bustard. The peep is an omnivore that feeds about just about every kind of edible food sources, similarly to humans. The peep is highly intelligent, about as smart as a human, it has dexterous four-fingered hands with opposable thumbs for gripping onto and manipulate objects, and is able to communicate in bird-like calls and speak in different languages (including English). The peep lays around 25 eggs at a time, in just 2 months after mating, the eggs hatch about 2 weeks later, and the young are cared for by their parents until they're juveniles around 4 months later, when they become independent from their parents. The average lifespan of a peep is around 100-120 years, although reports of individuals around 150 years have been recorded. The conservation status of the peep is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the peeps' wide range and their tolerance of many of the human activities, including being able to work and live with humans and other sapient species.
North American rocky cavy

A **North American rocky cavy** (*Kerodon petra*) is a species of cavy that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced to the Rocky Mountains and nearby hills and mountains across North America to help boost biodiversity. A North American rock cavy is a fairly large rodent weighing up to 1 kg (2.2 lb). Like other cavy species, the North American rock cavies' tails are vestigial or absent. Their backs are grey-brown and their bellies tan to light brown. They are herbivorous, feeding on seeds and leaves of the scrubby vegetation that grows in their territories. This vegetation consists of tender leaves and certain species of creeper. The North American rock cavies usually shelter in crevices. They may be seen resting at all times of day, but are crepuscular, active mostly at dawn and dusk. They are able to climb which makes reaching leaves, seeds, and occasional fruits easier. They live in groups, centered around rock-sheltered dens. Each North American rock cavy group has an alpha or dominant male and several females. The males are territorial, defending rock pile shelters against other adult males. The rock piles are chosen to impress the females; once a female chooses a rock pile, she indirectly chooses its guardian as her mate. Females weigh 700-800 grams and give birth to two or three young, but several litters per year are common. The gestation period averages 70 days. The newborn cavies weigh 90 grams. The conservation status of the North American rock cavy is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American rock cavy's wide range and its tolerance to most of the human activities.
North American large-billed tern

The **North American large-billed tern** (*Phaetusa americanum*) is a species of tern in the family Laridae, most closely related to the South American large-billed tern (*Phaetusa simplex*), that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the coastlines, wetlands, and riverbanks across North America and Central America to help boost biodiversity. The North American large-billed tern is a large noisy tern, with a long, thick yellow bill, black crown, three-toned wings (black outer wing, pale middle, and gray inner wing), and a gray tail. Juveniles have a browner crown and wings. The North American large-billed tern feeds primarily on a variety of aquatic creatures, with the fish and aquatic invertebrates being major prey items, but they will also capture insects in flight. Foraging includes plunge diving for fish and other aquatic prey, skimming the surface while in flight, or capturing insects on the wing. Though North American large-billed terns are usually found singly or in pairs, when resting they may aggregate in small flocks. Breeding often occurs in mixed colonies with black skimmers and other tern species. They nest near sandy shorelines of freshwater lakes and rivers, with eggs laid directly in hidden locations with grasses or other vegetation. Two eggs are laid, with both parents sharing incubation duties that may last up to 30 days. Both parents help feed and protect the young once they hatch. The conservation status of the North American large-billed tern is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American large-billed tern's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
North American snake-necked turtle

The **North American snake-necked turtle** (*Neochelodina americanum*) is a species of turtle of the suborder Pleurodira that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the wetlands, lakes, rivers, and ponds across North America to help boost biodiversity. Like all pleurodirous turtles, the North American snake-necked turtles withdraw their necks sideways into their shells, differing from cryptodires that fold their necks in the vertical plane. They are highly aquatic species with webbed feet and the capacity to stay submerged for long periods of time. The North American snake-necked turtles are largely strike-and-gape hunters or foragers feeding on insects, worms, tadpoles, frogs, small fish, crustaceans, and molluscs. The highly aquatic nature of the North American snake-necked turtle is typified by the presence of cloacal breathing. However, the North American snake-necked turtle in less humid areas spend significant periods of time on land. In early spring, the female will lay between ten and twenty-five eggs in the banks of her aquatic habitat. Three to four months later the hatchlings break out of the eggs, and the females will then lay one to three clutches of eggs per year. The conservation status of the North American snake-necked turtle is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American snake-necked turtle's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Notopithecus

The **American psudeosquirrel** (*Notopithecus psudeorodentia*) is a species of squirrel-like notoungulate mammal that originally lived from South America during the early-to-mid Cenozoic as some of many extinct *Notopithecus* species (not a primate, despite its genus name) and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout modern South America to help boost biodiversity. As its name suggests, the American psudeosquirrel is not a squirrel and only resembles a squirrel due to convergent evolution. It is a rather small semi-arboreal burrowing animal, growing only about the size of an average-sized house cat. The American psudeosquirrel is a herbivore that primarily feeds on grasses, leaves, fruits, roots, tubers, bulbs, and other kinds of vegetation. It is a solitary animal that lives in most of its life alone except during breeding seasons. The American psudeosquirrel's reproduction is very similar to a domestic cat, but has a completely different lifestyle, filling the ecological niche similar to the ground squirrels. The conservation status of the American psudeosquirrel is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American psudeosquirrels' wide range and their tolerance to most of the human activities.
Palaeoloxodon antiquus

The **European straight-tusked elephant** (*Palaeoloxodon antiquus*) is a species of elephant that originally lived throughout Pleistocene Europe as well as Western Asia and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to modern forests and grasslands of both Europe and Western Asia. Their skull structure is also different from that of modern-styled elephants. The grouping of this genus is supported by cranial synapomorphies with other species of *Palaeoloxodon*. The European straight-tusked elephant can be distinguished from the **Asian straight-tusked elephant** by its more robust limb bones and less stout cranium. It is the rather large elephant, growing on average of around 4–4.2 metres (13.1–13.8 ft) in height and 11.3–15 tonnes (11.1–14.8 long tons; 12.5–16.5 short tons) in weight when fully grown. Like all elephants, it is a herbivore that mainly feeds on grasses, leaves, bark, shrubs, fruits, and many other types of vegetation, and both females (young and old) and male calves are social herd-dwelling animals in which herds are led by the matriarchs (elderly females), while adult males live in solitary lives unless during mating seasons, when males are ready to mate with the females. The conservation status of the European straight-tusked elephant is **Near Threatened** due to habitat loss and historic poaching, but the conservationists are working their best in protecting the natural habitat of European straight-tusked elephants and end poaching, so far, these actions are working and the population trend of European straight-tusked elephants are increasing.
North American wattled guan

The **North American wattled guan** (*Aburria albertensis*) is a species of bird in the family Cracidae, most closely related to the South American wattled guan (*Aburria aburri*), that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The North American wattled guan is a fairly large black cracid with a long tail, about 75 centimetres (30 inches) long and weighing between 1,200 and 1,550 grams (42 and 55 oz). The North American wattled guan is blue-based, black-tipped beak and a long, blue wattle. Its legs are bright red in color. It has white patches on its wings and white streaks on its head and upper neck. The North American wattled guan is a fairly shy species that is mostly seen when it perches on the outer edge of the canopy from a distance. Like many forest birds of North America, it is heard more often than seen. Most often detected by its voice, a strange alien-like call that rises and falls. Its diet is composed mainly of fruits (70%, more than 100 species), but it can also eat invertebrates, cotyledons, seeds, flowers, leaves, and small vertebrates. The breeding season of the North American wattled guan is between March and May, and the eggs are laid around June and August. The clutch consists of around 5-8 eggs, which hatch around 3-4 weeks after being laid. The conservation status of the North American wattled guan is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American wattled guan's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
North American maned wolf

The **North American maned wolf** (*Chrysocyon neobrachyurus*) is a species of canine that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, marshlands, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, and shrublands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The markings of the North American maned wolf resemble those of foxes, but it is neither a fox nor a wolf. The North American maned wolf is part of the genus *Chrysocyon* (meaning "golden dog"), much like the South American maned wolf (*Chrysocyon brachyurus*). The North American maned wolf is a rather large canine, weighing 20–30 kg (44–66 lb) and up to 90 centimeters (35 inches) at the shoulders. Its long, thin legs and dense reddish coat give it an unmistakable appearance. The North American maned wolf is a crepuscular and omnivorous animal adapted to the open environments of the North American grasslands, with an important role in the seed dispersal of both native and nonnative fruits. The North American maned wolf is a solitary animal. It communicates primarily by scent marking, but also gives a loud call known as "roar-barking". The conservation status of the North American maned wolf is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American maned wolf's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Pachycrocuta

The **short-faced hyena** (*Pachycrocuta brevirostris*), also known as the **giant hyena**, is a species of hyena that originally lived in Eurasia and Africa during the Late Pliocene through the Mid-Pleistocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to the modern forests, open woodlands, and grasslands of Eurasia and Africa to help boost biodiversity. It is the largest known hyena, usually growing to be about the size of a lioness, standing about 90–100 cm (35–39 in) at the shoulder and averaging 110 kg (240 lb) in weight. Similar to the striped hyena, it is primarily a kleptoparasitic scavenger of the kills of other predators, such as big cats. It is a scavenger of carrion, preferentially so, because it is a heavyset animal not built for chasing prey over long distances. In this respect it differs from the spotted hyena, which is a more nimble animal that, contrary to its image as a scavenger, usually kills its own food, but often gets displaced by lions. The short-faced hyena is a social pack-living animal that is normally led by a dominant female. The conservation status of the short-faced hyena is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the short-faced 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.
North American tent-making bat

A **North American tent-making bat** (*Uroderma unistriatus*), also known as the **northern tent-making bat**, is a species of American leaf-nosed bat (*Phyllostomidae*) that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. This medium-sized bat has a gray coat with a pale white stripe running down the middle of the back, and its face is characterized by a fleshy noseleaf and four white stripes, similarly to the South American tent-making bat (*Uroderma bilobatum*), but has a thicker coat of fur to keep itself warm the the freezing temperatures, even in places as cold as Alaska. Primarily a frugivore, it may supplement its diet with insects, flower parts, pollen, and nectar. Its common name comes from its curious behavior of constructing tents out of large leaves, much like the South American tent-making bat, but can also make these "tents" out of not just fan-shaped leaves, it can also make "tents" out of a wider range of other leaves large enough to shelter this species, unlike South American tent-making bats. These roosts provide excellent protection from the rains, and a single tent roost may house several bats at once. The conservation status of the North American tent-making bat is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American tent-making hat's wide range and its tolerance to most of the human activities.
North American hairy armadillo

The **North American hairy armadillo** (*Chaetophractus communis*) is a species of hairy armadillo (*Chaetophractus*), most closely related to the screaming hairy armadillo (*Chaetophractus vellerosus*), that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, scrublands, and deserts across North America to help boost biodiversity. The North American hairy armadillo averages a tail length of 3 to 7 inches and a body length of 8 to 16 inches. North American hairy armadillos have more hair growth than other armadillo species, allowing them to keep these armadillos insulated in more colder temperate regions. The North American hairy armadillo has 18 bands of which six to eight are movable bands. The hair on the dorsum is light brown in colour. The North American hairy armadillo is nocturnal by summer and diurnal in winter. It can subsist for long periods without water. It often burrows at the base of bushes and shrubs. It has multiple burrows in its range, and each burrow may have more than one entrance. When an animal is occupying a burrow, the entrance is usually sealed. A burrow may be 20 to 38 cm (7.9 to 15.0 inches) in diameter and may be several metres long or more. The home range of the North American hairy armadillo is recorded to consist of a minimum area of 3.4 ha (8.4 acres). The animal does not build a nest in its burrow. When not in its burrow, the animal spends most of its time foraging. The armadillo is omnivorous; its diet consists of insects, carrion, vertebrates and plant material, varying considerably depending upon the season. The animals increase their weight by up to 10% in winter, forming a layer of subcutaneous fat 1 to 2 cm (0.39 to 0.79 inches) thick. Vertebrates form a significant part of the North American hairy armadillo's diet, ranging from 27.7% by volume in summer to 13.9% in winter, the most common vertebrate species it preys on being lizards, birds, frogs, and small rodent species. This armadillo ingests a lot of sand while feeding, and it may occupy as much as 50% of the volume of its stomach at a time. The gestation period of the North American hairy armadillo is 60–75 days. The North American hairy armadillos become sexually mature at 9 months and produce two litters per year. The conservation status of the North American hairy armadillo is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American hairy armadillo's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
North American saddleback

The **North American saddleback** (*Neophilesturnus rubercauda*) is a species of thrush, despite its name, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The North American canaries are most similar in appearance, size, and build to the North Island saddleback (*Philesturnus rufusater*) of New Zealand. The plumage of North American saddlebacks is mostly black apart from the saddle, rump, and tail coverts, which are reddish-chestnut coloured. The black bill is starling-like, with orange-red wattles hanging from its base. North American saddlebacks have an average length of 25 centimeters. Males tend to be heavier (80 grams) than females (69 grams), and possess longer bills and larger wattles. North American saddlebacks produce calls described as "cheet, te-te-te-te" or "ti-e-ke-ke-ke-ke", almost identical sounding to the calls made by New Zealand saddlebacks. The diet of North American saddlebacks mostly consists of insects, berries, invertebrates, and nectar. Their bill allows them to force open dead wood to expose insects such as grubs. In forests, North American saddlebacks forage at all heights, but tend to spend most of the time on the forest floor browsing in leaf litter. North American saddlebacks are monogamous and usually mate for life. The breeding season can vary from year to year and location to location, though clutches typically start appearing from March to July. Fledgling North American saddlebacks are often seen until September and October. North American saddleback nests are mostly built in tree cavities, and will lay up to four eggs per clutch. The conservation status of the North American saddleback is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American saddleback's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Notosuchus

The **Argentine plant-eating crocodile** (*Notosuchus argentinensis*), also known as the **Argentinian plant-eating crocodile**, is a species of notosuchian crocodylomorph that originally lived in Argentina approximately 85 million years ago in the Coniacian or Santonian stages of the Late Cretaceous as two extinct species, *Notosuchus terrestris* and *Notosuchus lepidus*, 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, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across South America to help boost biodiversity. The Argentine plant-eating crocodile is relatively small, reaching 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) in length and a weight of 36 kg (79 lb). Like several other notosuchians, the Argentine plant-eating crocodile has very mammalian-looking dentition for slicing vegetation. Despite its name, the Argentine plant-eating crocodile is not entirely herbivorous and it also feeds on insects, smaller vertebrates, eggs, and carrion. The Argentine plant-eating crocodile is a diurnal creature that tends to live under the shade of trees and will seek sunlight/heat on days with cool temperature. The Argentine plant-eating crocodile, similar to many other crocodilians and relatives, reproduces by laying eggs. The breeding season takes place between October and November, with courtship and mating commencing in January. They lay large white eggs, which have a leathery texture. The species is oviparous and the incubation periods can last from 60 to 90 days. Female Argentine plant-eating crocodiles are usually found defending the eggs and guard the nest of eggs. Females dig holes on the forest floor, where 31 to 47 eggs are laid and they then fill the hole or burrow. The eggs are white and leathery, with the average number of eggs in a clutch being around 37 to 42. Eggs take roughly 2-3 months to hatch and this occurs at the beginning of summer. A few of weeks prior to hatching, a brown oval mark arises on the surface of the egg. This oval mark identifies the spot where the baby Argentine plant-eating crocodile's head will pop out of the egg. Sometimes, a full day can pass before the Argentine plant-eating crocodile hatches from the egg. After hatching, the baby Argentine plant-eating crocodiles obtain moisture by licking wet plants. The conservation status of the Argentine plant-eating crocodile is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the Argentine plant-eating crocodile's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Orientognathus

***Orientognathus sciifii*** is a species of rhamphorhynchid pterosaur that originally lived from the Middle Jurassic of China as an extinct species, *Orientognathus chaoyangensis*, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii. *Orientognathus sciifii* has a wingspan of up to about 3.5 feet (1.1 meters) across on average. *Orientognathus sciifii* is a carnivore, feeding on a wide range of insects, spiders, fish, and frogs, although it can also feed on carrion similarly to scavenging birds such as magpies, crows, and ravens. It is normally a solitary animal, but during breeding seasons, males often try to find females, and if successful, they become mates for life. *Orientognathus sciifii* is found throughout Eurasia and North America as a result of the SciiFii Pterosaur Incident, which occurred on October 12, 2039, and was caused by unidentified criminals and their failed attempt to steal pterosaurs for wars, but unintentionally released the pterosaurs out of the exhibits and into the modern world. *Orientognathus sciifii* is a very common species, not in risk of extinction, due to being an adaptable animal that is able to live in cities and suburbs, not just the wilderness.
Pulmonoscorpius

The **giant scorpion** (*Pulmonoscorpius pugione*) is a species of large scorpion arthropod that originally lived in what is now southeastern Scotland around 346.7 to 330.9 million years ago, during the late Carboniferous Period, but has since been cloned by SciiFii using unfertilized eggs of modern arachnids and now live in the **Carboniferous Bug House** located in **Paleozoic Park** in Downey, California. The giant scorpion is one of the largest scorpions known to exist, growing to be around 70cm (28 inches) when fully grown. Despite its larger size than native modern arachnids, the giant scorpion's venom in its stinger is not lethal to large animals such as humans, it may cause some swelling in humans if stung by a giant scorpions, but is nonetheless harmless to humans, instead, its venom is usually used for stunning smaller animals and the giant scorpion only feeds on smaller arthropods, small amphibians, small reptiles, small birds (rarely), and small mammals. Their large claws help in tearing apart prey while their tail stinger injects venom at the same time for liquifying food. Juveniles rely on their venomous sting to paralyze prey while adults use their large claws to tear apart prey. Due to its larger size, it has a lifespan usually around 9-10 years, even longer than the native modern emperor scorpions (*Pandinus imperator*), which usually lives only around 6-8 years. Its body is black, but like other scorpions it glows pastel green or blue under ultraviolet light. It is a popular species in the pet trade, due to its mostly nonaggressive nature to people and being harmless to humans, despite its size.
Oceanic grey shark

The **oceanic grey shark** (*Nanocarcharias luca*) is a species of shark that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of North America and South America to help boost biodiversity. Female oceanic grey sharks reach sexual maturity around the age of 6 with an average fork-length (tip of the nose to fork in the tail) of 154.9 centimeters, while males tend to reach maturity around age 5 with an average fork-length of 151.6 centimeters. Females can grow to 2–2.5 meters (6.6–8.2 feet), males up to 1.8 meters (5.9 feet). Its body color can vary from a grey to a brownish grey to a bronze, with a white or pale underside. Despite its name, the oceanic grey sharks are also able to tolerate and thrive in brackish waters as well as pure freshwater lakes and rivers. Because of this, the oceanic grey sharks are very commonly found in the rivers and lakes of the Pacific coasts of North and South America. Oceanic grey sharks swim alone or gather in sex-segregated schools that vary in size. Natural predators of the oceanic grey shark includes the bull shark, tiger shark, and, rarely, great white sharks and killer whales. The oceanic grey shark itself preys on fish (including small ray-finned fish and rays to name a few), crabs, snails, and worms, and is one of the only shark species (along with the bonnethead) known to be omnivorous, being known to feed on seagrass and a variety of brackish and freshwater aquatic plants. Oceanic grey sharks are viviparous. The embryos are supported in placental yolk sac inside the mother. Females exhibit both biennial and triennial reproductive cycles, ovulate in early summer, and give birth to an average of thirteen pups, which they carry for 9 months before giving birth. The longevity of the oceanic grey shark is typically 41-53 years in the wild, although the captive specimens have been known to live slightly longer. The conservation status of the oceanic grey shark is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the oceanic grey shark's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Nothrotherium

The **South American brown ground sloth** (*Nothrotherium americanus*) is a species of medium-sized ground sloth that originally lived from South America (Bolivia, Brazil and the Ware Formation, La Guajira, Colombia) during the mid-to-late Pleistocene as an extinct species of *Nothrotherium* and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, and open woodlands across Brazil, Bolivia, and Colombia to help boost biodiversity. The South American brown ground sloth differs from *Nothrotheriops*, the closest living relative of the South American brown ground sloth, in smaller size and differences in head and hind legs. The South American brown ground sloth is a semi-arboreal animal that is able to climb onto trees, similarly to black bears of North America. Like other ground sloths, the South American brown ground sloth is primarily a browsing herbivore that feeds on leaves, fruits, nuts, and other kinds of vegetation. The conservation status of the South American brown ground sloth is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the South American brown ground sloth's wide natural range.
Pygmy mammoth

The **pygmy mammoth** or **Channel Islands mammoth** (*Mammuthus exilis*) is a species of dwarf elephant descended from the Columbian mammoth (*M. columbi*) of mainland North America that originally lived in the Channel Islands during the Pleistocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to the modern Channel Islands to help boost biodiversity. A case of island or insular dwarfism, the pygmy mammoth is on average, 1.72 meters (5.6 feet) tall at the shoulders and 760 kg (1,680 lb) in weight, in stark contrast to its 4.3 m (14 ft) tall, 9,070 kg (20,000 lb) ancestor. However, the largest individuals grow to about 2.02 meters (6.6 feet) in shoulder height and a weight of 1,350 kg (2,980 lb). The pygmy mammoth is a herbivore, like all known elephant species, feeding primarily on grasses, leaves, and shrubs. 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 pygmy 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 pygmy mammoth is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the pygmy mammoth's tolerance to many human activities, as well as invasive competitors such as American bison, etc, and even predators such as feral dogs, etc, possibly due to SciiFii tinkering with the pygmy mammoth's genes to help the pygmy mammoth deal with invaders.
