Maltese dwarf hippopotamus

The **Maltese dwarf hippopotamus** (*Hippopotamus melitensis*), also known as the **Maltese pygmy hippopotamus**, the **dwarf mountain hippopotamus**, the **pygmy mountain hippopotamus**, and the **mountain hippopotamus**, is a species of hippopotamus native to Malta and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced back to Malta to help boost biodiversity. The hippopotamus that were the ancestors of the Maltese dwarf hippopotamus arrived after the Messinian salinity crisis and, due to the absence of predators and limited food supplies, those hippos have been dwarfed over time. Unlike the common hippopotamus of Africa, the Maltese dwarf hippopotamus is a very small animal, growing only to be about 1 meter in shoulder height and it has limbs that are more adapted at a terrestrial locomotion in order to traverse more efficiently abrupt terrain, such as rocky outcrops and hills, in search of food. Interestingly, the diet of the Maltese hippo is more generalistic than its Sicilian relative due to the smaller area of Malta and its more limited resources, it often includes abrasive foods. Despite the Maltese dwarf hippopotamuses' smaller size, they are quite territorial just like common hippos due to the limited land area. The conservation status of the Maltese dwarf hippopotamus is **Vulnerable** due to some habitat loss and, historically, overhunting, however, thanks to the conservationists, the Maltese dwarf hippopotamuses are a protected species and are recovering from human activities.
Kong

The **kong** (*Megaprimatus kong*), also known as the **king kong**, the **titan**, and the **titanic ape**, is a species of massive *Palaeoloxodon namadicus*-sized indricothere-like non-human ape that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the open woodlands and grasslands of Sri Lanka and the southern part of mainland India to help boost biodiversity. The closest relatives of the kong includes the orangutans and the famous *Gigantopithecus*. The kong was a very difficult species to create due to the fact that a similarly-sized animal could not retain an ape-like posture or body build, so SciiFii gave the species a thick elephantine body that is similar to indricotheres like *Paraceratherium*, leading to unique characteristics among mammals such as thickened knuckle-walking feet instead of usual grasping hands of other apes. Due to its massive size and weight, the kong is the largest primate that has ever existed and is one of the largest land mammals. The kong does not feed by using its front limbs, since they are needed to support the animal's massive weight, so it instead only needs its prehensile muzzle to grip the vegetation. The kong is a pure herbivore that primarily feeds on fruits, leaves, flowers, and vines. The kong is a social animal that prefers to live in small family groups, although some are solitary animals, but those are likely a result of individuals who never got to socialize at a young age and kept alone in confinement, unfortunately, being solitary causes negative health problems in kongs. Kongs can live to be about 70 years on average, although there are reports of kongs living to be 80 or more years. The conservation status of the kong is **Endangered** due to some habitat loss and historic poaching, however, thanks to the conservationists, the kong is a protected species and is making a comeback.
Kiwemu

The **kiwemu** (*Dromapteryx zelandicus*) is a species of kiwi that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and intentionally introduced throughout New Zealand to help boost biodiversity. The kiwemu is the largest kiwi species that has ever existed, reaching up to 1.9 metres (6 fet 3 inches) in height and weighing between 31.5 and 60 kilograms (69 and 132 lbs) in males and females, respectively. In general appearance, the kiwemu vaguely resembles an Australian emu, hence its name, having vestigial wings, a long necks and legs, being capable of running at maximum speeds of almost 48 km/h (30 mph) due to their highly specialised pelvic limb musculature. Unlike other kiwis, kiwemu feet have only three toes instead of four toes. The kiwemu is a diurnal bird and spends its day foraging, preening its plumage with its beak, dust bathing and resting. It is a generally gregarious bird apart from the breeding season, and while some forage, others remain vigilant to their mutual benefit. The kiwemu is able to swim when necessary, although it rarely does so unless the area is flooded or it needs to cross a river. The kiwemu is not a megaherbivore, instead having a more varied omnivorous diet, similarly to an emu, and relying on its acute sense of smell to find food. The kiwemu breeding season starts in May to June. Females lay three to eight large, bright green or pale green-blue eggs in each clutch into a heap of leaf litter prepared by the male. The eggs measure about 9 by 14 centimeters (3.5 by 5.5 inches). The male incubates those eggs for 50–52 days, removing or adding litter to regulate the temperature, then protects the chicks, which stay in the nest for about 9 months. He defends them fiercely against all potential predators, including sapient/sophont species. The young males later go off to find a territory of their own. The female does not care for the eggs or the chicks, but rather moves on within her territory to lay eggs in the nests of several other males. Young kiwemus are brown and have buffy stripes. They are often kept as pets in native villages, where they are permitted to roam like barnyard fowl until nearing maturity. Caged birds are regularly bereft of their fresh plumes. The average lifespan is between 23 and 28 years old. The conservation status of the kiwemu is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts.
Gigantoad

The **gigantoad** (*Anuraursus megapoda*), also known as the **bear toad**, is a species of amphibian that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the Azores archipelago to help boost biodiversity. Despite its very bear-like build and appearance at first glance, it is actually most closely related to frogs and toads, and the only living species of the family, Anuraursidae. The gigantoad is a very large animal, growing to be about the size of a large polar bear. It is an aggressive omnivore that primarily feeds on fruits, leaves, roots, tubers, honey, and animals much smaller than itself such as insects. The gigantoad is a very territorial and solitary animal that prefers to live throughout most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. Like many amphibians, the gigantoad lays soft, jellied eggs that soon hatch into fish-like herbivorous tadpoles, which eventually grows up into mostly-terrestrial adults. Unlike most amphibians, the gigantoad has thick skin to keep in most of the moisture, so it can spend most of its life out of water, only going to the water to catch fish and frogs, or simply to lay eggs. The conservation status of the gigantoad is **Near Threatened** due to some habitat loss and historic poaching, however, thanks to the conservationists, the gigantoad is a protected species.
Long-necked caiman

The **long-necked caiman** (*Ophisuchus piscivorus*) is a species of fish-eating caiman that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, lakes, and rivers across Central America and South America to help boost biodiversity. The closest living relative of the long-necked caiman is the yacare caiman (*Caiman yacare*). The long-necked caiman has long neck, hence its name, and slender body shape, useful in reducing drag and helps the animal to catch fish. The long-necked caiman is generally a solitary species and prefers to live in most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the long-necked caiman is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the long-necked caiman's wide range.
Nile mokele

The **Nile mokele** (*Mokelesaurus mbembe*) is a species of non-avian titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests and wetlands across Africa to help boost biodiversity. The Nile mokele can reach lengths of 12 meters and weights of 6 tonnes, though individuals this large are rare. Unlike many other sauropods, the Nile mokele is adapted to an amphibious lifestyle, and actually somewhat resembles the popular outdated reconstructions of Jurassic sauropods. The Nile mokele has robust, barrel-shaped torsos and comparatively short limbs. Like the skeletons of many diving birds, their air sacs no longer invade the bones, keeping them solid and heavy and allowing the animals to stay underwater with little effort. The Nile mokele has eyes and nostrils positioned near the top of its skull, allowing the animal to breathe and survey its surroundings while remaining mostly submerged. As it is smaller than many other titanosaurs and often share the waterways with a variety of big predators, Nile mokeles have the most extensive armour protection of any sauropod. This armor consists of a combination of closely packed ossicles, rounded scutes and triangular spines. Nile mokeles feed on a wide variety of aquatic foliage ranging from riparine weeds to marine seagrasses. These sauropods live like hippos, walking along the riverbottom while placidly plucking at aquatic vegetation, sometimes using their necks to reach foliage growing on the riverbanks without leaving the water. They are often accompanied by swarms of fish that either snatch up small invertebrates in the kicked-up silt or graze on algae growing on the dinosaurs' scaly flanks. Formidable armour renders the adults effectively immune to attack from the large crocodiles that share their habitat. Brooding mothers lay their eggs in a simple, fiercely guarded pit on the riverbank. The hatchlings are 65 cm long and form creches among the reeds and sheltered pools. The conservation status of the Nile mokele is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the Nile mokele's wide range.
Mauritian giant skink

The **Mauritian giant skink** (*Leiolopisma mauritiana*) is a large species of skink (family Scincidae) found only in Mauritius. It was once extinct around 1600 due to introduced predators, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to Mauritius. It is somewhat fossorial in nature. The Mauritian giant skink is among the largest living species of skink, and possibly the largest skink in history, with a total length of around 80 centimeters (3.1 inches). The Mauritian giant skink is an omnivore that feeds on seeds, fruits, invertebrates, and smaller lizards and birds. The conservation status of the Mauritian giant skink is **Vulnerable** due to some habitat loss and historic invasive predators, however, thanks to the conservationists, the invasive predators such as feral cats have been eradicated from the Mauritius island and the Mauritian giant skink is a protected species.
Leptoptilos robustus

The **giant adjutant** (*Leptoptilos robustus*, name meaning "robust-thin soft feathers"), also known as the **Asian giant marabou stork**, is a species of large-bodied wading bird in the stork family Ciconiidae, and belongs to a subfamily, Leptoptilini. It originally lived during the Pleistocene epoch in the Quaternary period, which lasted from about 2.5 million years ago to 11,000 years ago, in what is now the island of Flores, Indonesia, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced throughout Indonesia to help boost biodiversity. It stands on average at about 1.8 metres (5.9 ft) tall and can weigh up to 16 kilograms (35 lb) when fully grown. Much like its relatives, it is typically a scavenger of carrion and compete with carnivorous mammals, however, due to not much competitors from predatory mammals on many Indonesian islands such as Flores, the giant adjutants living on those islands are also predatory, preying mainly on large rat species, small Komodo dragon and other fauna smaller than itself, even the famous *Homo floresiensis* as well as young of larger animals such as modern-styled humans (*Homo sapiens sapiens*). The giant adjutants breeds in colonies, starting during the dry season. The female lays two to three eggs in a small nest made of sticks; eggs hatch after an incubation period of 30 days. Their young reach sexual maturity at 4 years of age. Lifespan is 41 years in captivity and 25 years in wild. The conservation status of the giant adjutant is **Vulnerable** due to some habitat loss, persecution, and historic poaching, however, the giant adjutant is a protected species.
Leptobos

The **yak-bison** (*Leptobos etruscus*), also known as the **steppe-ox**, is a species of large bovid native to the open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and hills of Europe and Asia that originally lived during the Pleistocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced throughout Eurasia to help boost biodiversity. The yak-bison usually reaches a weight of up to 320 kg. It is often considered closely related to *Bison* and the insular *Epileptobos*. Yak-bison are largely grazers, though they occasionally browse on shrubs. Yak-bison can go without directly drinking water for several days, and their ability to draw moisture from their food helps them to survive in arid regions such as the Central Asian republics and the edge of the Gobi Desert, allowing them to cross difficult ground to reach new pastures. Social creatures, the yak-bison travels in herds that average around 20 members, though larger numbers are not unheard of. They will tolerate the presence of peaceful herbivores such as wisent, saiga, gazelles, deer, horses, cattle, Indian hartbeests, and mammoths. For a reason not yet explained to by scientists, yak-bison do not like the presence of wild-boar; if a wild boar approaches a herd of yak-bison, the male members of the herd will charge at the hog and drive it away, even when unprovoked by the pig. The conservation status of the yak-bison is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the yak-bison's wide range.
Martinique macaw

The **Martinique macaw** (*Ara martinicus*), also known as the **orange-bellied macaw**, is a formerly extinct species of macaw which may have been originally endemic to the Lesser Antillean island of Martinique, in the eastern Caribbean Sea, although it is debatable. In case this species did exist and was extinct, it has since been brought back from extinction and reintroduced to the Lesser Antillean island to help boost boost biodiversity. It is known for its mostly-blue feathers, orange belly, and indigo head. It is a herbivore that primarily feeds on fruits, nuts, seeds, and other same kinds of vegetation that other macaws feed on, but often needs to feed on clay to help augment a sodium-poor diet. In the wild, it is a social animal that lives in flocks of up to around 50 individuals at a time. The conservation status of the Martinique macaw is **Near Threatened** due to some habitat loss, illegal pet trade, and, historically, poaching, however, thanks to conservationists, the Martinique macaw is a protected species and is making a comeback.
North American capybara

The **North America capybara** (*Neochoerus pinckneyi*), also known as the **American shagrat**, is a species of capybara that originally lived in Central America, Mexico, and the southern US during the Pleistocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to the jungles, swamps, forests, and open woodlands throughout Central America, Mexico, southeastern US, southern US, and southwestern US to help boost biodiversity. While capybaras originated in South America, formation of the Isthmus of Panama three million years ago allowed some of them to migrate north as part of the Great American Interchange. Capybaras and porcupines are the only caviomorph rodents that reached temperate North America (naturally) during this exchange. At 90 to 113 kg (200 to 250 pounds), 40% larger than the South American capybara (*Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris*), the North American capybara is one of the largest rodent species, surpassed only by the giant pacarana, several species of *Phoberomys* (living and extinct), and the giant beaver.

Just like South American capybaras, its sweat glands can be found in the surface of the hairy portions of its skin, an unusual trait among rodents, and like its South American relatives, it is also a semiaquatic mammal that lives in densely forested areas near bodies of water, such as lakes, rivers, swamps, ponds, and marshes, as well as flooded savannah and along rivers in the tropical rainforests and wetlands. It is a superb swimmers and can hold its breath underwater for up to five minutes at a time. North American capybaras have flourished in cattle ranches. They roam in home ranges averaging 10 hectares (25 acres) in high-density populations. North American capybaras are herbivores, grazing mainly on grasses and aquatic plants, as well as fruit and tree bark. They are very selective feeders and feed on the leaves of one species and disregard other species surrounding it. They eat a greater variety of plants during the dry season, as fewer plants are available. While they eat grass during the wet season, they have to switch to more abundant reeds during the dry season. They are a highly social species and can be found in groups as large as 100 individuals, but usually live in groups of around 10–20 individuals. The conservation status of the North American capybara is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American capybara's wide natural range and its tolerance to most of human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
Maraapunisaurus

***Maraapunisaurus jimmadseni*** is a species of rebbachisaurid sauropod dinosaur that originally lived from the Late Jurassic Morrison Formation of western North America as an extinct species, *Maraapunisaurus fragillimus*, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern open woodlands, grasslands, and scrublands of North America to help boost biodiversity. It is among the largest dinosaur species that has ever lived, along with *Argentinosaurus*, growing to be around 50 meters (164 feet) long, although it is about 60 meters (200 feet) long with a more horizontal neck posture, and can weigh 150 tonnes (150 long tons; 170 short tons). It is a herbivore like all known "natural" sauropod species, primarily feeding on leaves, fruits, ferns, cycads, horsetails (when young), and angiosperms. It is a solitary animal in most of its life, due to its massive size, except during breeding seasons, when males and females come to find each other in order to mate to ensure their species' further survival. The conservation status of *Maraapunisaurus jimmadseni* is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation status and its wide range across North America.
Giraffokeryx

The **pygmy four-horned giraffe** (*Giraffokeryx quadruceras*) is a species of medium-sized giraffid that originally lived from the Miocene of the Indian subcontinent and Eurasia as an extinct species of *Giraffokeryx* and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across Eurasia to help boost biodiversity. The pygmy four-horned giraffe is distinguished from other giraffids by the four ossicones on its head; one pair in front of the eyes on the anterior aspect of the frontal bone and the other behind the eyes in the fronto parietal region overhanging the temporal fossae. It has a brachydont dentition like in other giraffids, being primarily a browsing herbivore that usually feeds on leaves, fruits, nuts, and pine needles. The pygmy four-horned giraffe's legs and feet are of medium length and are used to help the animal sprint from any potential dangers such as predators. The pygmy four-horned giraffe is a solitary animal that prefers to live in most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the pygmy four-horned giraffe is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the pygmy four-horned giraffe's wide range.
Mawsonia

The **African giant coelacanth** (*Mawsonia africanus*) is a species of prehistoric coelacanth fish, and the largest of this group, up to 4 meters long when fully grown. It originally lived during the Cretaceous period (Albian and Cenomanian stages, about 99 to 112 million years ago) in what is now Africa and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern lakes and rivers of Africa to help boost biodiversity. Unlike most other coelacanths, the African giant coelacanth is a freshwater animal instead of an oceanic animal. The African giant coelacanth is a nocturnal piscivorous drift-hunter that primarily feeds on fish much smaller than itself. The African giant coelacanth's body is covered in cosmoid scales that act as armor against any potential predators, except the African tiamat, which can sometimes hunt African giant coelacanths and break through the fish's scales with its claws and teeth. The African giant coelacanth is a solitary animal in most of its life, except during breeding seasons, when shoals of these fish congregate and males try to find females to mate with. The conservation status of the African giant coelacanth is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the African giant coelacanth's wide range.
Marsupial hyena

The **marsupial hyena** (*Hyaenocephalus deinodonta*) is a species of New World marsupial that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across South America to help boost biodiversity. The marsupial hyena is a rather large marsupial, growing on average to be about the size of an average-sized jaguar when fully grown. The marsupial hyena is a highly adaptable carnivore that can survive in a wide range of habitats, even in forest habitats half submerged in water, being just as capable of swimming as tigers and fishing cats of Asia. The marsupial hyena primarily feeds on crustaceans, mollusks, fish, frogs, eggs, small reptiles, birds, small-to-medium-sized mammals, and carrion, using its extremely strong hyena-like bone-crushing teeth and jaws to crush up objects as strong as a large pond turtle's shell, hence its name. The marsupial hyena is a solitary animal that spends throughout most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the marsupial hyena is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the marsupial hyena's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Ludodactylus

***Ludodactylus retrodonta*** (name meaning "backward-toothed play finger") is a species of anhanguerid pterodactyloid pterosaur that originally lived from the Early Cretaceous period (Aptian stage) of what is now the Crato Formation of the Araripe Basin in Ceará, Brazil, as an extinct species, is ***Ludodactylus sibbicki***, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii. The generic name *Ludodactylus* refers to the fact that this animal has the combination of teeth and a *Pteranodon*-like head crest, similar to many toy pterosaurs. However, *Ludodactylus retrodonta*, like the original species, is not the only pterosaur known to possess these features, its very close relative *Caulkicephalus* is another example. *Ludodactylus retrodonta* is a rather medium-sized pterosaur, having a wingspan that usually reaches around 13 feet (4 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 the 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. *Ludodactylus retrodonta* 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. *Ludodactylus retrodonta* 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.
Leaellynasaura V1

***Leaellynasaura borealis*** (meaning "Leaellyn's boreal lizard") is a species of small bipedal feathery ornithischian dinosaur that originally existed from the Albian stage of the Early Cretaceous (dated to between 118 and 110 million years ago), in Dinosaur Cove, Australia, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and now lives in **Cretaceous Park** in Sacramento, California. *Leaellynasaura borealis* was tested to be in **Cretaceous Safari**, but some of them died in the heat of the summer of California, due to the *Leaellynasaura borealis* being adapted to cold forests, not in seasonal heats, so they were relocated to their own exhibit **Leaellynasaura Woodlands**, an indoor exhibit that is environentally-controlled to keep the inside cool enough for the *Leaellynasaura borealis* herds to be happy and healthy. *Leaellynasaura borealis* is mostly a herbivore and mainly feeds on leaves, fruits, cycads, ferns, and horsetails, but can also eat arthropods in times of hardship. *Leaellynasaura borealis* is a social herd-dwelling animal and its unusually long tail is used for, not just balancing, but can also be raised straight up into the air to communicate with other *Leaellynasaura borealis* members and to help other *Leaellynasaura borealis* individuals find others in case they get lost in the environment.
Maaradactylus

***Maaradactylus rubermaculae*** is a species of anhanguerid pterodactyloid pterosaur that originally lived from the Lower Cretaceous period (Aptian to Albian stages) of the Romualdo Formation of northeastern Brazil as an extinct species, *Maaradactylus kellneri*, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii. *Maaradactylus rubermaculae* is a rather medium-sized pterosaur, having a wingspan that usually reaches around 15 feet (4.5 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 the 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. *Maaradactylus rubermaculae* 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. *Maaradactylus rubermaculae* 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.
Lyall's wren

**Lyall's wren** or **Stephens Island wren** (*Traversia lyalli*) is a species of small flightless passerine belonging to the family Acanthisittidae, the New Zealand wrens. Lyall's wren was once extinct due to predation from invasive domestic cats since the very early 20th century, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to Stephens Island, New Zealand after the successful and complete eradication of feral cats on the island. Lyall's wren has olive-brown plumage with a yellow stripe through the eye. Its underside is grey in females and brownish-yellow in males and its body feathers are edged with brown. Most distinctively, Lyall's wren is flightless, with a reduced keel on its breastbone and short rounded wings. It is the best known of the four flightless passerines (songbirds) known to science, all of which are inhabitants of islands. Lyall's wren is largely nocturnal compared with most passerines, and is capable of running quickly on the ground, which often gets it compared to a mouse in terms of its agility. Lyall's wrens mostly eat invertebrates on the ground, but will sometimes take berries and seeds, and even nectar from flax flowers. Its call is three high-pitched notes, and pairs sometimes duet. Pairs maintain a year-round territory, and work together to build a large enclosed nest with an entrance tunnel. The nest is lined with feathers, often from other species of birds. Around three eggs are laid in late spring and incubated for three weeks. Chicks take about 24 days to fledge and are fed for at least 4 weeks. The conservation status of Lyall's wren is **Vulnerable** due to some habitat loss and, historically, invasive predators, however, thanks to the conservationists, Lyall's wren is a protected species.
Mbashe River buff

The **Mbashe River buff** is a species of butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. The Mbashe River buff is endemic to the densely forested Mbhashe River area of the Eastern Cape, South Africa, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to its former range to help boost biodiversity. The wingspan is 23–27 mm for males and 24–29 mm for females. Adults are on wing from September to October and from March to May. There are two generations per year. The larvae feeds on cyanobacteria species. The conservation status of the Mbashe River buff is **Vulnerable** due to some habitat loss and historic poaching, however, thanks to conservationists, the Mbashe River buff is a protected species.
Majungasaurus (SciiFii)

***Majungasaurus cristata*** (name meaning "Crested Mahajanga lizard"), also known as the **Malagasy bogeyman**, is a species of non-avian predatory abelisaurid theropod dinosaur that originally lived during the Late Cretaceous Period (Maastrichtian) of what is now Madagascar as an extinct species, *Majungasaurus crenatissimus*, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and, unlike most carnivorous non-avian dinosaurs, have been intentionally introduced throughout the modern Madagascar to help boost biodiversity. *Majungasaurus cristata* is a bipedal carnivore that usually reaches about 26.2 feet (8 metres) in length, and it primarily feeds on fish, frogs, lizards, snakes, crocodilians, other non-avian dinosaurs, birds, small-to-medium-sized mammals, and carrion. *Majungasaurus cristata* is a solitary animal that usually spends throughout most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of *Majungasaurus cristata* is **Endangered** due to some habitat loss and persecution, however, thanks to the conservationists, *Majungasaurus cristata* is a protected species.
Macrauchenia

The **camoose** (*Macrauchenia patachonica*), also known as the **false llama** and the **Patagonian narigrande**, is a large, long-necked and long-limbed, three-toed native South American mammal in the order Litopterna that originally lived in what is now South America during the Pliocene throught the 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 South America to help boost biodiversity, although some populations now exist in the forests, open woodlands, and grasslands western North America possibly due to accidental releases. The genus gives its name to its family, the Macraucheniidae or "robust litopterns". Like other litopterns, it is not closely related to any other mammal. The false llama resembles a huge humpless camel, though it is not related to camels, not even llamas, as its name suggests. It feeds on many different types of plants in a variety of environments across both South America and western North America. Unlike in outdated depictions, real false llamas (both modern and prehistoric) do not have tapir-like trunks, instead, false llamas have muzzles very similar to those found on a moose, with its flexible lips in order to grip the vegetation it feeds on. The false llama is is rather large animal, growing on average to around 3 metres (9.8 feet) and a weigh up to 1,042.8 kg (2,299 lb), about the size of a black rhinoceros. The conservation status of the false llama is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the false llama's wide introduced range (in California, Nevada, and Arizona) and natural range, as well as the false llama's tolerance to habitat loss in a same level as the whitetail/mule deer's habitat loss tolerance, allowing the false llamas to survive and flourish in the cities and suburbs.
Lagosuchus

The **teal sprinter** (***Lagosuchus talampayensis**)* is a species of dinosauromorph that lived during the Early Carnian of the Late Triassic (236-234 mya). It was originally extinct, but it has since been resurrected by SciiFii and has been introduced to the many badlands across the USA. the teal sprinter is around 30 cm (1 foot) long and weighs around as much as a pigeon. Its diet mainly consists of insects and small vertebrates, although on rare occasions cannibalism has been recorded. As its name suggests, the teal sprinter is a heavily adapted to sprinting, as its prey (and predators) are also quick-moving. Due to successful breeding and adaptability, the teal sprinter is listed as **Least Concern** by the IUCN.
Mammuthus creticus

The **Cretan dwarf mammoth** (*Mammuthus creticus*) is a species of dwarf mammoth that originally lived in what is now the island of Crete during the Pleistocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to the island of Crete to help boost biodiversity. With a shoulder height of about 1 meter and a weight of about 310 kg, it is the smallest mammoth that ever existed. The Cretan dwarf mammoth is a herbivore that is primarily a grazer, feeding mainly on grasses, only to feed on shrubs and leaves 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 Cretan dwarf 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 Cretan dwarf mammoth is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the Cretan dwarf mammoth's tolerance to many human activities, as well as invasive competitors such as goats, sheep, etc, and even predators such as feral dogs, feral cats (on calves), etc, possibly due to SciiFii tinkering with the Cretan dwarf mammoth's genes to help the dwarf mammoth deal with invaders.
Makaracetus

The **manatee whale** (*Makaracetus modernus*) is a species of amphibious protocetid whale that originally lived in what is now Pakistan during the Eocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern coastlines of Europe, Asia, and Africa to help boost biodiversity. The manatee whale is unique among archaeocetes in its feeding adaptations; its proboscis and the hypertrophied facial muscles similar to those of manatees, hence its name, all supported by some combination of cranial features. There are broad and shallow narial grooves on the dorsal side of the premaxilla extending the nasal vestibule to the anterior end of the rostrum. These grooves are paralleled on the ventral side by extraordinary lateral fossae, stretching from the anterior maxilla and over the premaxilla. The rostrum is angled downwards, like in a dugong, and has a reduced number of incisors. Enlarged foramina in front of the orbits supports the rich blood supply to help keep the animal warm in cool waters. No other living mammal displays this combination of characteristics. The expanded nasal is present in tapirs, but they are not aquatic animals. The morphology of sirenian rostra is similar, but sirenians are herbivorous whereas the manatee whales' dentition is those of a carnivore. Like the walrus, the manatee whale is aquatic and use specialized buccal and facial muscles to feed on mollusks. The conservation status of the manatee whale is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts.
Mapinguari

A **mapinguari** (*Quadromacropodus mapinguari*) is a species of ground sloth-like xenarthran that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, marshlands, forests, and open woodlands throughout South America to help boost biodiversity. The mapinguari is one of the largest land mammals of South America, growing on average of about 30 feet in length and 11 metric tons in weight. It is a herbivore that primary feeds on fruits, leaves, pine needles, nuts, and shrubs, using its clawed hands to pull the food towards its mouth. It is a solitary animal that lives in most of its entire life alone except during the breeding seasons. The mapinguari defends itself with its massive size, if fully grown, its sharp clawed fingers, and by producing a strong odor that is best described as “smelling something like a mixture of moldy meat and cow dung laminated in a combination of vinegar and pickle juice”, and this can put off its predators' sensitive noses. The conservation status of the mapinguari is **Near Threatened** due to some habitat loss and historic poaching, however, thanks to the conservationists, the mapinguari is a protected species.
Nanocarnosaurus

***Nanocarnosaurus olympius*** (name meaning "dwarf meat lizard of Olympus") is a species of non-avian carnosaur theropod dinosaur that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and now lives in the **Expanded Mezozoic** section of **Cretaceous Park** located at Sacramento, California. As its name suggests, *Nanocarnosaurus olympius* is one of the smallest carnosaurs on Earth, growing on average of about 13.2 feet (4 meters) in length on weighing around 60 kg (132 lbs). It is entirely carnivorous and feeds primarily on any animal smaller than itself, although it is known to hunt for prey as large as itself. *Nanocarnosaurus olympius* is usually a solitary animal that prefers to live in most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons.
Manipulator

The **praying cockroach** (*Manipulator neomodificaputis*), also known as the **praying mantis cockroach** or simply the **mantis cockroach**, is a species of predatory cockroach of the family Manipulatoridae which originally lived in Myanmar during the Upper Cretaceous period as an extinct species, *Manipulator modificaputis*, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and are sold as pets due to demand for small exotic formerly-extinct pets. The praying cockroach has an elongated neck, a freely rotating head and unexpectedly long legs, which are similar to those of praying mantises, hence its name. The insect body is usually around 4.5 millimetres (0.18 in) long and 2 millimetres (0.079 in) wide. The praying cockroach is purely carnivorous, unlike most other cockroaches, and it primarily preys on any insects and spiders smaller than itself, including other cockroaches, although it is also known to feed on carrion. The lifestyles and lifecycles of the praying cockroach is almost identical to those of the praying mantises.
Manacastor

The **manacastor** (*Hydrocastor natans*) is a species of giant, fully aquatic beaver that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced to the Great Lakes to help boost biodiversity. The closest living relative of thd manacastor is the North American beaver (*Castor canadensis*). The manacastor is a large, hippopotamus-like animal of about 1.8 metres (6 feet) long which weighs about 200 kilograms (440 lb). It has a short tail and powerful legs with four webbed and clawed feet. Both the manacastor's jaws are elongated and sported forward-facing tusks, which are elongated incisors. Like other beavers, the manacastor is a herbivore and it primarily feeds on aquatic vegetation, using its four limbs to walk across the lakebed like hippos and fills a niche similar to desmostylians (which only exists in the oceans). The manacastor is a social animal that can live in groups consisting of up to about 30 individuals at a time. The conservation status of the manacastor is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the manacastor's wide range.
Luchibang

***Luchibang sciifiiensis*** (meaning "Lü's heron wing from SciiFii") is a species of istiodactylid pterosaur that originally lived in Inner Mongolia, China, during the Early Cretaceous as an extinct species, ***Luchibang xingzhe***, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii. *Luchibang sciifiiensis* is a rather average-sized pterosaur, having a wingspan that usually reaches about 6.5 feet (2 metres). It is a scavenger that uses its distinctive teeth to sever morsels from large carcasses in the manner of a cookie cutter, filling the similar ecological niche to its rivals such as vultures and condors, to name a few. The wings of *Luchibang sciifiiensis* is adapted for soaring, which helps it find carcasses before terrestrial carnivores find them. 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. *Luchibang sciifiiensis* 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. *Luchibang sciifiiensis* 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.
Longbill

The **longbill** (*Bucoracias ramphastoides*), sometimes known as the **Caribbean toucan**, the **false toucan**, and the **toucan motmot**, is a species of toucan-like motmot, despite one of its common names, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests of the Caribbean Islands to help boost biodiversity. The longbill ranges in length from around 42 to 55 centimeters (17 to 22 inches) on average. It is an omnivorous forest bird that feeds on fruits, seeds, insects, invertebrates, lizards, snakes, and small birds and their eggs, filling the similar ecological niche to toucans. Like most motmots, longbills nest in tunnels in banks, laying about four white eggs. They often form large colonies of up to 40 paired individuals. The eggs hatch after about 20 days, and the young leave the nest after another 30 days. Both parents care for the young. The conservation status of the longbill is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the longbill's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Majungasaurus (NuGen)

***Majungasaurus fuscus*** (name meaning "Brown Mahajanga lizard"), also known as the **brown bogeyman**, is a species of non-avian predatory abelisaurid theropod dinosaur that originally lived during the Late Cretaceous Period (Maastrichtian) of what is now Madagascar as an extinct species, *Majungasaurus crenatissimus*, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by NuGen and, unlike most carnivorous non-avian dinosaurs, have been intentionally introduced throughout the modern Madagascar to help boost biodiversity. *Majungasaurus fuscus* is a bipedal carnivore that usually reaches about 26.2 feet (8 metres) in length, and it primarily feeds on fish, frogs, lizards, snakes, crocodilians, other non-avian dinosaurs, birds, small-to-medium-sized mammals, and carrion. *Majungasaurus fuscus* is a solitary animal that usually spends throughout most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of *Majungasaurus fuscus* is **Vulnerable** due to some habitat loss and persecution, however, thanks to the conservationists, *Majungasaurus fuscus* is a protected species.
Mancalla

**Lucas's auk** (*Mancalla neolucasi*) is a species of flightless alcid that originally lived in California during the Miocene and Pliocene as an extinct species of *Mancalla* and the genus itself was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern Pacific coastlines of the United States and Mexico to help boost biodiversity. The Lucas's auk is a medium-sized bird that grows on average to be about 1 foot (30 centimeters) tall and weighing around 485-500 grams (17.1-17.6 ounces). Compared with auks of the *Pinguinus* genus, the Lucas's auk is more penguin-like in build and behavior. The Lucas's auk feeds primarily in the water and usually preys on cuttlefish, squid, krill, and other crustaceans, and ingest sea water with its prey. Their salt-excreting gland rids the salt from their bodies. Adult Lucas's auks can regularly dive to depths of between 20 to 50 meters deep in order to forage for prey. Lucas's auks travel in large flocks when hunting for food. In the breeding season, these birds gather in large nesting colonies at the coasts which have a density of 20 nests per 100 m2. The breeding season begins with the arrival of adult Lucas's auks at the breeding colonies in March and extends into late August and September when the chicks are mature enough to leave the colonies. One of the largest of these colonies is located on the Californian coastlines. Nests are built under bushes or in burrows. Two or three eggs are laid. Incubation lasts 39–42 days, a task which the parents share in 10- to 15-day shifts. The chicks are cared for by both parents for 29 days and are fed every two to three days. Normally, both are raised through adulthood, though occasionally only one chick is raised. The conservation status of the Lucas's auk is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the Lucas's auk's wide range.
Lisowicia

***Lisowicia modernus*** is a species of non-mammal dicynodont synapsid that originally lived in what is now Poland during the Late Triassic as an extinct specie, *Lisowicia bojani*, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and now lives in the **Triassic Dinosaurs** section of **Cretaceous Park** located in Sacramento, California. It is the largest ever species of dicynodonts and among the largest non-mammal synapsids, close in size to an elephant, it can grow to be around 8.6 feet (2.6 meters) tall and 14.9 feet (4.5 meters). While most other dicynodonts have upright hindlimbs and sprawling forelimbs, *Lisowicia modernus* has developed a fully upright posture much more similar to that of quadrupedal dinosaurs and mammals. It is a social herd-dwelling herbivore that primarily feeds on fruits, leaves, shrubs, cycads, ferns, horsetails, and other similar plants, and lives in herds of up to around 30 individuals at a time.
