Ammonite

The **ammonites** (*Gaudryceras sp.*) are a genus of cephalopods belonging to the family Gaudryceratidae that originally lived during the Cretaceous period, from Albian to Maastrichtian stages (105.3 to 66.043 Ma) as extinct species of *Gaudryceras* and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the world's oceans to help boost biodiversity. These cephalopods are fast-moving nektonic carnivores that primarily prey on small fish, squid, octopuses, snails, crustaceans, and sea urchins. The ammonites are small-to-medium-sized, depending on a species, ranging from 1 foot (0.3 meters) long in the smallest species to the largest species growing to be about 2.3 feet (0.7 meters) long. Like squid and octopuses, ammonites are prey for many oceanic predators such as sea otters, sharks, mosasaurs, whales, and among others, and are also economically important food sources for people due to an increasing demand for ammonite tentacles and eggs.

American striped polecat

The **American striped polecat** (*Neoictonyx virgatus*), also known as the **American zorilla** and, inaccurately, the **long-tailed skunk**, is a species of polecat that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across North America to help boost biodiversity. Despite its name, appearance, or behavior, the American striped polecat is not closely related to the African striped polecat (*Ictonyx striatus*), being instead most closely related to the black-footed ferret (*Mustela nigripes*), and its color, build, and lifestyle is thought to simulate convergent evolution. Like other polecats, this carnivore is nocturnal. It has several means of avoiding predators, including the ability to emit foul-smelling secretions from its anal glands, playing dead and climbing trees. The animal is mainly black but has four prominent white stripes running from the head, along the back to the tail. The American striped polecat is typically 60 centimeters long including a 20-centimeter tail. The American striped polecat is solitary, tolerating contact with others only to mate. Young are generally born between September and December, with one to five young per litter. The American striped polecat lives for up to 13 years on average, although specimens in captivity generally live longer to almost 20 years. The conservation status of the American striped polecat is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American striped polecat's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Aquilops

***Aquilops modernus*** is a species of primitive solitary ceratopsian dinosaur that originally lived from the Early Cretaceous of North America, approximately 108 million to 104 million years ago, as an extinct species, *Aquilops americanus*, and the genus *Aquilops* was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern rainforests, swamps, forests, open woodlands, and some grasslands of North America to help boost biodiversity. It is a very small ceratopsian, only growing to be around 60 centimeters (2 feet) long and weigh about 1.5 kg, about the size of a large rabbit. It is usually a selective browser that prefers to feed on fruits, leaves, and conifer needles, but can sometimes also feed on insects and carrion to supplement its diet. Its hooked beak also has a raised bump on the front, which supports a keratin horn used for, not only defense against predators, but also used by males during breeding seasons for fighting other males to win a right to mate with females. The conservation status of the *Aquilops modernus* is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, its wide range across North America, and its tolerance to most of human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cites and suburbs..
American widowbird

The **American widowbird** (*Euplepasser paradisea*) is a species of New World sparrow, despite its name or appearance, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The closest living relative of the American widowbird are New World sparrows of the genus *Zonotrichia*. American widowbirds exhibit distinct sexual dimorphism. Males and females exhibit differences in behavior and morphological traits. Adult males are entirely black, including under their wing-coverts. During the breeding seaon, the males' wing shoulders are orange red and their wing-coverts white. Their bills are bluish white. Males are known for their distinctly long tails, which contain twelve tail feathers. Of these twelve tail feathers, between six and eight are approximately half a metre (approximately 20 inches) long. Males have wingspans of approximately 127 to 147 mm (approximately 5 to 5.8 inches). Females have a rather subdued coloration. The upper portion of the female's body is streaked with buff or tawny and black. Female chests, breasts and flanks are slightly paler than their above coloring. The area under the wing-coverts is black and the females' tail feathers are narrow and pointed. Finally, their bills are horn-coloured. Non-breeding males are almost identical as during the breeding season, but lacking the orange red shoulders and white wing-coverts. Immature males and females are very similar in appearance to the adult female. However, immature males, much like adult non-breeding males, are slightly larger than adult females. The American widowbird's diet generally consists of seeds, supplemented occasionally by arthropods. The birds do most of their foraging in flocks on the ground, though they are occasionally observed hawking insects airily. In addition to primping up their appearance, the rest of the American widowbirds’ mating ritual is quite elaborate. A male American widowbird will create a little stage for his dancing performance by clipping down the medium-to-tall grass to form a three-foot-wide circle and defend the territory from other males. During the breeding season, the male American widowbirds can be seen bobbing up from tall grassy plains and open woodlands, similarly to true widowbirds of Africa. The conservation status of the American widowbird is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American widowbird's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Anchisaurus

***Anchisaurus sciifii*** (name meaning " SciiFii's Anchisaurus") is a species of primitive small sauropodomorph dinosaur that originally lived in what is now North America during the Early Jurassic and was once extinct, but *Anchisaurus sciifii* has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and now lives in Cretaceous Park located in Sacramento, California. It normally grows to be around 7.9 feet long and weigh about as much as a wolf, making it currently the smallest known sauropodomorphs recreated by SciiFii. It is an omnivore, unlike most other sauropodomorphs, feeding on not just fruits, leaves, or nuts, but also insects and occasionally carrion to supplement it's diet. It is a social animal that lives in herds up to around 11-19 in normal circumstances, but if there is enough food and space, *Anchisaurus sciifii* herds can contain about as much as 35 at a time.
American spiny flower mantis

The **American spiny flower mantis** (*Allocreobotra squinado*) is a species of mantis, most closely related to the African mantises of the genus *Pseudocreobotra*, 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 and South America to help boost biodiversity. The American spiny flower mantis is a small flower mantis, growing to be about 40 millimetres (1 and a half inches) long. The adult has spiny structures on the underside of its abdomen, giving it its name. It is variable in colour, being typically light green, but it can equally be tinted yellow, pink, or red. It has a large eyespot on its forewings, which is black, green and cream and is surrounded by a green patch. The inner hind wings are orange and the outer hind wings are transparent. Nymphs are black until the third instar. The American spiny flower mantis exhibits sexual dimorphism. Females have small spines towards the base of their wings and six to seven segments on their abdomen. Females also tend to have slightly shorter antennae, longer wings, and take seven moults to reach maturity. On the other hand, males lack the spines found near females' wings, have eight abdominal segments, shorter wings, longer antennae and require six moults to reach maturity. The American spiny flower mantis has a deimatic display in which it spreads its forewings, making itself appear larger and prominently displaying its eyespots to startle would-be predators. While at rest it is well camouflaged, and is a sufficiently good aggressive mimic of a flower that prey insects can attempt to pollinate it, at which moment the mantis seizes and eats them. They prefer to prey on flying insects and spiders, but if unavailable, will eat virtually any insect. American spiny flower mantises prefer flying insects throughout their entire lifecycle. L1 through L2 nymphs may be fed with small fruit flies, L3 and L4 nymphs may be fed with medium-sized fruit flies and the L5 nymph to adult may be fed houseflies or bluebottle flies. These mantises have strong forearms, and a big appetite while they are growing up, and therefore can handle rather large prey compared to their body sizes. They will not chase after food though, as they are not a very active species. Instead, they prefer to remain completely still, disguised as part of the environment, waiting to strike when an unsuspecting insect walks by. Like with many mantis species, the American spiny flower mantis females practice sexual cannibalism; however, nymphs are not cannibalistic until their fourth instar. The conservation status of the American spiny flower mantis is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American spiny flower mantis's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
American mountain parrot

The **American mountain parrot** (*Americanestor alpinus*), sometimes known as the **American kea** or the **American kaka**, is a species of medium-sized parrot that originally did not exist, but has been since created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the cold, cool, and warm swamps, forests, open woodlands, shrublands, and mountainous regions throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico to help boost biodiversity. The American mountan parrot is about the size of a similarly-looking kea (*Nestor notabilis*), growing on average of about 48 centimeters (19 inches) long. The American mountain parrot is mostly olive-green with a dull orange under its wings and has a large, narrow, curved, grey-brown upper beak. The American mountain parrot is omnivorous and primarily feeds on roots, leaves, fruits, nectar, and insects, although it can occasionally feed on carrion of larger and smaller vertebrates to supplement its diet. The American mountain parrot nests in burrows, in crevices among the roots of trees, or in tree crevices made by other birds such as woodpeckers. American mountain parrots are known for their intelligence and curiosity, both vital to their survival in harsh environments they live in. American mountain parrots can solve logical puzzles, such as pushing and pulling things in a certain order to get to food, and will work together to achieve a certain objective. They have been known to prepare and use tools. The conservation status of the American mountan parrot is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American mountan parrot's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
American loris

The **American loris** (*Americafradapis neus*), also known as the **American long-tailed loris**, the **American slow loris**, the **American slow false lemur**, and the **American slow lemur**, is a species of *Adapiforme* strepsirrhine primate, despite its name, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, forests, swamps, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The American loris is a rather small *Adapiforme* primate, growing to be about the size of the pygmy slow loris (*Nycticebus pygmaeus*), with an average weight of about 450 grams (1.0 lb). The American loris is nocturnal and arboreal, crawling along branches using slow movements in search of prey. Unlike many other primates, it does not leap. It lives together in small groups usually with one or two offspring. Its diet consists of fruits, insects, small fauna, tree sap, and floral nectar. The animal has a toxic bite, which it gets by licking a toxic secretion from glands on the inside of its elbows. The teeth in its lower jaw form a comb-like structure called a toothcomb that is used for scraping resin from tree bark. The American loris mates once every 9–15 months and has one or two offspring after an average gestation period of five months. For the first few days, the young American loris clings to the belly of its mother. The offspring will be nursed for an average of 4.5 months, but weaning can sometimes take up to 8 months. The females reach sexual maturity at about 9 months, while the male reaches maturity by about 18-20 months. The American loris is seasonally fertile during the months of April and July. Chemical signals play a role in the reproductive behavior of female American lorises. Urine scent markings have a strong characteristic odor and are used to communication information about social relationships. The conservation status of the American loris is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American loris's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
American stink badger

The **American stink badger** (*Mydaus americanum*) is a species of mammal, most closely related to similarly-looking Sunda stink badger (*Mydaus javanensis*) of Indonesia and Malaysia, 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. American stink badgers have a similar body shape to badgers, but are significantly smaller, being 37 to 52 cm (15 to 20 in) in total length, and weighing from 1.3 to 3.6 kilograms (2.9 to 7.9 lbs). Their fur is coarse, and black or very dark brown over most of the body, with a white stripe running from the top of the head to the tail. The tail is short, measuring about 3.6 cm (1.4 in), and is covered in pure white fur. The width of the stripe varies considerably between individuals, but is usually narrow, and may be discontinuous. As the name indicates, stink badgers have an anal scent gland that secretes a foul-smelling substance, which the animal can spray up to 15 cm (5.9 inches). Females have six teats. American stink badgers are omnivorous and highly nocturnal. The animal portion of their diet consists of invertebrates, eggs, and carrion. At night, they root through soft soil using their snout and claws, searching for worms and ground-dwelling insects. During the day, they sleep in short burrows, less than 60 cm (24 in) in length, which they may either dig themselves or take over from other animals, such as porcupines. They have been reported to give birth to litters of two or three young. The conservation status of the American stink badger is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American stink badger's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
American saola

The **American saola** (*Pseudoryx americanum*), also known as the **American spindlehorn** and **American unicorn**, is a a species of forest-dwelling bovine 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. Related to cattle, goats, and antelopes, the closest living relative of the American saola is the Asian saola (*Pseudoryx nghetinhensis*). The American saola is slightly larger in size than the Asian saola and has a brighter, less dull brown fur with a larger white patch on its rump area. Like other bovids, the American saola is a herbivore and primarily feeds on broad-leaved shrubs and trees, although it can also feed on fruits, flowers, twigs, and barks. The American saola is active in the day as well as at night, but prefers resting during the hot midday hours. Though solitary, the American saola is known to live in groups of two or three, as well as up to six or seven. Grouping patterns of the American saola resembles those of the Asian saola. Unlike the Asian saola, the American saola is much more tolerant to stress and habitat disturbance, allowing it to adapt to a wider range of forested habitats than its Asian relatives. The conservation status of the American saola is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American saola's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Apehorse

The **apehorse** (*Chalicosapiens vulgaris*) is a species of chalicothere that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii. The apehorse is a rather large-sized chalicothere, growing up to about 6.6 feet (2 meters) tall at the shoulders and weighing around 450 kilograms (990 lb). Unlike most chalicotheres, the apehorse is an omnivore that primarily feeds on the same food sources as common humans (*Homo sapiens*). In general appearance and build, the apehorse is very similar to *Chalicotherium*, but with a shorter face with both sharp and flat teeth for varied diet, a larger brain case to house a more complex, larger brain, and it also has an opposable third thumb on each hand. The apehorse is one of the only species of Perissodactyla mammal that is sapient, being about as smart as common humans and has a diverse culture, religion, languages (including English), technologies, etc. The apehorse has a social structure almost identical to those of common humans. The conservation status of the apehorse is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the apehorse's wide range across Earth and its tolerance to most of the human activities, including being able to work and live with humans in the same environment.
American swamp squirrel

The **American swamp squirrel** (*Amphibiscuirus alpharhynchos*) is one of the only two semi-aquatic species of squirrel (the other being the **Eurasian swamp squirrel** (*Amphibiscuirus asiaticus*)) that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, lakes, and rivers across North America to help boost biodiversity. The American swamp squirrel is a rather large member of the squirrel family, growing to be about 105–150 centimeters (41–59 inches) in length, including the tail. Like beavers, American swamp squirrels are protected and insulated by a thick, water-repellent coat of guard hairs that are 5–6 centimeters (2.0–2.4 inches) long and typically either dark brown or reddish brown, but can be nearly black; while the underfur is 2–3 centimeters (0.79–1.18 inches) long and dark gray. American swamp squirrels molt during the summer. The American swamp squirrel has short legs, a muscular neck (no smaller than the head) and an elongated body that is broadest at the hips, similarly to those of otters. The tail of the American swamp squirrel is slender and completely covered in fur, unlike those of the similarly-sized beavers. The American swamp squirrel's front feet are dexterous, allowing them to grasp and manipulate objects and food, as well as dig. The hind feet are larger and have webbing between the toes, and the second innermost toe of the hind foot has double nails used for grooming. Only their webbed hind feet are used while the front feet are tucked under the chest. On the surface, the hind limbs thrust alternately while underwater they move simultaneously. American swamp squirrels are awkward on land but can move quickly when frightened. They can carry objects while walking on their hind legs. While the American swamp squirrel is in the water, its body and tail moves up and down in a wave-like motion to help it swim, similar to dolphins. American swamp squirrels are highly mobile and have the capacity of traveling up to 42 km (26 mi) in one day. American swamp squirrels are herbivorous, consuming lichens, aquatic plants, grasses and sedges. Like many other rodents, American swamp squirrels are generally solitary animals and prefer to live alone, apart from during the breeding seasons and/or if the swamp squirrel is a mother. Unlike beavers, American swamp squirrels do not build nests. Instead, they establish burrows close to the water's edge in river, lake, swamp, coastal shoreline, tidal flat, or estuary ecosystems. The den typically has many tunnel openings, one of which generally allows the swamp squirrel to enter and exit the body of water. Female American swamp squirrels give birth in these burrows, producing litters of one to nine young. The conservation status of the American swamp squirrel is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American swamp squirrel's wide range, and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Amphiorycteropus

The **common aardvark** (*Amphiorycteropus communis*), sometimes known as the **European aardvark** in Europe, the **Asian aardvark** and **Asiatic aardvark** in Asia, and the **Eurasian aardvark** throughout Eurasia, is a species of primitive aardvark, most closely related to the greater aardvark, that originally lived throughout Africa and Eurasia during the Middle Miocene and Early Pliocene as several extinct species of *Amphiorycteropus* and the genus itself was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, scrublands, and deserts across Africa and Eurasia to help boost biodiversity. The common aardvark is vaguely pig-like in appearance, much like the greater aardvark. Its body is stout with a prominently arched back and is sparsely covered with coarse hairs. The limbs are of moderate length, with the rear legs being longer than the forelegs. The front feet have lost the pollex (or 'thumb'), resulting in four toes, while the rear feet have all five toes. Each toe bears a large, robust nail which is somewhat flattened and shovel-like, and appears to be intermediate between a claw and a hoof. The common aardvark is an average-sized aardvark, with its length being usually around 35 centimetres (1.14 feet), excluding its 27 centimeter (10 inch) long tail, and its weight is typically about 29 kilograms (63.9 lbs). A nocturnal feeder, the common aardvark has a more generalized and less specialized diet than the greater aardvark, due to being a very basal species of aardvark, feeding on a wider range of ants and termite species, which it will dig out of their hills using its sharp claws and powerful legs. It also digs to create burrows in which to live and rear its young. The conservation status of the common aardvark is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the common aardvark's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Anhanguera

***Anhanguera angelus*** (name meaning "old devil angel") is a species of Anhangueridae pterodactyloid pterosaur of the subfamily, *Anhanguerinae*, that originally lived from the Early Cretaceous (Albian age, 112 Ma) Romualdo Formation of Brazil. as an extinct species, *Anhanguera blittersdorffi*, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii. *Anhanguera angelus* 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. *Anhanguera angelus* 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. *Anhanguera angelus* 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.
American vanga

The **American vanga** (*Rhamphoeuryceros yorkensis*) is a species of toucan (Ramphastidae), despite its name or appearance, 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 American vanga is a distinctive-looking bird, with its mainly blue-black feathers, deep blue wings, and a huge arched cyan bill. The American vanga is a medium-sized toucan, in length it measures 28 to 31 cm (11–12 inches), and it weighs 84 to 114 grams (3.0–4.0 oz). The American vanga is carnivorous and its diet is composed of invertebrates, predominantly insects, but it can also feed on snails, lizards, spiders and crabs. Helmet vangas are monogamous and seasonal breeders. The breeding season runs from February to May. Both sexes work on the construction of the nest, which is a cup shape 15 centimeters (5.9 inches) in diameter constructed from woven plant fibres, mosses and twigs, and is placed in a fork in a tree 2 to 4 meters (6.6–13.1 feet) off the ground. The male American vangas perform courtship feeding before copulation. The clutch size is five or six pinkish white eggs. The conservation status of the American vanga is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American vanga's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
American sambar deer

The **American sambar deer** (*Rusa americanum*), also known as the **American rusa deer**, the **American brown deer**, and simply the **brown deer**, is a species of large deer that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, and shrublands across North America to help boost biodiversity. In general, the American sambar deer attain a height of 102 to 160 centimeters (40 to 63 inches) at the shoulder and may weigh as much as 546 kg (1,204 lb), though more typically 100 to 350 kg (220 to 770 lb). Head and body length varies from 1.62 to 2.7 meters (5.3 to 8.9 feet), with a 22 to 35 centimeters (8.7 to 13.8 inches) tail. Individuals belonging to western subspecies, including the California sambar deer (*Rusa americanum californicum*) tend to be larger than those from the east, and females are smaller than males. The large, rugged antlers are typically rusine, the brow tines being simple and the beams forked at the tip, so they have only three tines. The antlers are typically up to 110 centimeters (43 inches) long in fully adult individuals. As with most deer, only the males have antlers. The shaggy coat can be from yellowish brown to dark grey in colour, and while it is usually uniform in colour, some subspecies have chestnut marks on the rump and underparts. American sambar deer also have a small but dense mane, which tends to be more prominent in males. The tail is relatively long for deer, and is generally black above with a whitish underside. Adult males and pregnant or lactating females possess an unusual hairless, blood-red spot located about halfway down the underside of their throats. This sometimes oozes a white liquid, and is apparently glandular in nature. American sambar deer are nocturnal or crepuscular. The males live alone for much of the year, and the females live in small herds of up to 16 individuals. Indeed, in some areas, the average herd consists of only three or four individuals, typically consisting of an adult female, her most recent young, and perhaps a subordinate, immature female. This is an unusual pattern for deer, which more commonly live in larger groups. They often congregate near water, and are good swimmers. Like most deer, American sambar deer are generally quiet, although adults can scream or make short, high-pitched sounds when alarmed. However, they more commonly communicate by scent marking and foot stamping. American sambar deer feed on a wide variety of vegetation, including grasses, foliage, browse, fruit, and water plants, depending on the local habitat. They also consume a great variety of shrubs and trees. The conservation status of the American sambar deer is **Least Concern** on the IUCN Red List due to successful conservation efforts, the American sambar deer's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
American sportive lemur

The **American sportive lemur** (*Allolepilemur floridanus*) is a species of *Adapiforme* strepsirrhine primate, despite its name, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, forests, swamps, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The American bamboo lemur greatly resembles true sportive lemurs (*Lepilemur*) of the island of Madagascar in size, build, locomotion, vocalization, and behavior, most likely to simulate convergent evolution. The American sportive lemur is a medium-sized strepsirrhine primate, with a total length of about 58 to 27 centimeters (23 to 11 inches), of which 32 to 33 centimeters (12.6 to 13 inches) are tail, and weighs about 875 grams (1.9 lbs). The American sportive lemur is mainly herbivorous and its diet consists predominantly of leaves, but can also feed on seeds, fruits, and insects. American sportive lemurs are strictly nocturnal and predominantly arboreal, moving among the trees with long jumps powered by their strong hind legs. On the ground, they hop similarly to the kangaroo. During the day they hide in leafy covering or tree hollows. Sportive lemurs are mostly solitary and defend their territory against same sex intruders. The territories of males and females can overlap. Birthing happens between March and June after a gestation of 120 to 150 days, and is usually of a single young or twins which are often reared in a nest in a tree hollow. At about four months the juveniles are weaned but remain with their mother up to an age of one year. At about 16 months they are fully mature, and live to be about fifteen years old. The conservation status of the American sportive lemur is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American sportive lemur's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
American vervet lemur

The **American vervet lemur** (*Chlorocebulemur urbanus*), also known simply as the **American vervet**, is a species of adapiform primate that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The closest living relatives of the American vervet lemurs are any adapiforms of the genus *Notharctus*. These primates have black snouts as well as hands and feet, a deep orangish-brown body hair color with darker stripes running down its back and arms, and it ranges in body length from about 40 cm (16 inches) for females, to about 50 cm (20 inches) for males. Like some other adapiforms and unlike true lemurs, the American vervet lemurs have long, prehensile tails that are used for, not only balancing while climbing, but is also used as a fifth limb for grasping onto branches. The American vervet lemur eats a primarily herbivorous diet, living mostly on wild fruits, flowers, leaves, seeds, and seed pods. In agricultural areas, vervet lemurs often become problem animals, as they raid bean, pea, young tobacco, vegetable, fruit, and grain crops. Animal foods of their diet include grasshoppers and termites. Raids of cattle egrets and American weaver bird nests have been observed where the vervets eat the eggs and chicks. American vervets live in social groups ranging from 10 to 70 individuals, with males moving to other groups at the time of sexual maturity. Studies done on American vervet lemurs involve their communication and alarm calls, specifically in regard to kin and group recognition, and particular predator sightings, and is very similar to the calls made by vervet monkeys of Africa, and like vervet monkeys, they have been noted for having human-like characteristics, such as hypertension, anxiety, and social and dependent alcohol use. The conservation status of the American vervet lemur is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American vervet lemur's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
American pinkleg tarantula

The **American pinkleg tarantula** (*Brachypelma rosea*), also known as the **American pink-legged tarantula** and simply the **American pinkleg**, is a species of tarantula, most closely related to the red-legged tarantula (*Brachypelma emilia*) of Mexico, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, scrublands, and deserts across North America to help boost biodiversity. The American pinkleg tarantula has a dark-colored body with the second joint of its legs being pink in color, hence its name. Its carapace is light colored with a distinctive black triangle at the front. Following moulting, the colors are more pronounced. An adult female has a body roughly 65 mm long, with a legspan of 12.5 centimeters, and a weight of approximately 15 to 16 grams. The American pinkleg tarantula makes deep burrows that keeps it protected from predators such as the North American coatis, and enables it to ambush passing prey, which primarily includes insects, worms, other spiders, and small vertebrates. The females spend the majority of their lives in their burrows. The burrows are typically located in or not far from vegetation and consist of a single entrance with a tunnel leading to one or two chambers. The entrance is just slightly larger than the body size of the spider. The tunnel, usually about three times the tarantula's leg span in length, leads to a chamber which is large enough for the spider to safely molt. Further down the burrow, via a shorter tunnel, a larger chamber is located where the spider rests and eats its prey. When the tarantula needs privacy, e.g. when molting or laying eggs, the entrance is sealed with silk, sometimes supplemented with soil and leaves. The American pinkleg tarantula is a mostly docile species. That, coupled with its coloration, and impressive size, makes it a very popular pet species. It is very reluctant to bite when distressed, but possesses urticating hair and will flick these if it feels threatened. The conservation status of the American pinkleg tarantula is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American pinkleg tarantula's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
American purple frog

The **American purple frog** (*Neonasikabatrachus idahoensis*) is a species of frog belonging to the family Nasikabatrachidae, most closely related to the Indian purple frog (*Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis*), 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 body of American purple frog appears robust and bloated and is relatively rounded compared to other more dorsoventrally flattened frogs. Their flattened body assists them to cling to submerged rocks and boulders which essentially helps them fight strong currents, allowing them to remain near stream banks where they typically reside. Its arms and legs splay out in the standard anuran body form. Compared to other frogs, American purple frog has a small head and an unusual pointed snout. Adults are typically dark purplish-grey in color. Males are about a third of the length of females. The specimen with which the species was originally described was 7.0 centimeters (2.8 inches) long from the tip of the snout to the vent. Its vocalization is a drawn-out harsh call that sounds similar to a chicken clucking. Males of this species exhibit the unique behavior of calling from under a thin layer of soil. Unlike many other burrowing species of frogs that emerge and feed above the ground, this species is known to forage underground, feeding mainly on ants, termites, and insect larvae using its tongue and a special buccal groove. The American purple frogs may switch to headfirst burrowing due to their wedge-shaped skull and other shaped limbs. The conservation status of the American purple frog is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American purple frog's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
American rose mantis

The **American rose mantis** (*Gongylus americanum*) is a species of mantis, most closely related to the Indian rose mantis (*Gongylus gongylodes*), 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. Characterized by extremely slender limbs with large appendages, the American rose mantis is not a particularly aggressive species and often kept as a pet by hobbyists. The American rose mantis is especially known for swaying its body back and forth to imitate a stick flowing in the wind. The American rose mantis got its name for being particularly known to hunt around roses in gardens, although it also hunts around a wide array of flowers. It primarily feeds on flying insects. It can reach up to 11 centimeters (4.3 inches) long on average. The males of the species are capable of flight. This species is a communal species in that they live and breed in large groups without unnecessary cannibalism. The conservation status of the American rose mantis is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American rose mantis's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
American sloth bear

The **American sloth bear** (*Melursus ohioensis*) is a species of myrmecophagous bear that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, marshlands, forests, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. It has also been called "labiated bear" because of its long lower lip and palate used for sucking up insects. It has a long, shaggy fur, a mane around the face, and long, sickle-shaped claws. It is lankier than brown and black bears. It shares features of insectivorous mammals due to convergent evolution. American sloth bears breed between spring and summer and give birth near the beginning of winter. In areas with abundant food year-round, American sloth bears may not hibernate, but in areas with scarce food sources during winter, the American sloth bears hibernates in dens and other forms of shelter like other bears in the area. Unlike most other large bears, including its Asian relative (*Melursus ursinus*), The American sloth bears are nonaggressive towards humans and domestic animals, as well as being docile and gentle, making them suitable for domestication. In fact, SciiFii has created a subspecies of American sloth bear known as the **domestic sloth bear** (*Melursus ohioensis domestica*), also known as the **fancy bear**, the **shaggy bear**, the **teddy bear**, and the **fluff-bear**, which come in several different shapes and sizes depending on a breed of domestic sloth bear. The conservation status of the wild American sloth bear is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American sloth bear's wide range and its tolerance to most of human activities.
American patas lemur

The **American patas lemur** (*Terralemurpithecus patas*) is a species of *Adapiforme* strepsirrhine primate, despite its name, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The American patas lemur grows on average to be 60 centimeters (24 inches) to 87 centimeters (34 inches) in length, excluding the tail, which can measure about 75 centimeters (30 inches). Reaching speeds of 55 km/h (34 mph), it is one of the fastest runners among the quadrupedal primates. The American patas lemur feeds on insects, gum, seeds, and tubers, a diet more characteristic of much smaller primates. The American patas lemur lives in multi-female groups of up to 50 individuals (although much larger aggregations have been reported). The group contains just one adult male for most of the year. During the breeding season, there are multi-male influxes into the group. Once juvenile males reach sexual maturity (around the age of four years) they leave the group, usually joining all-male groups. The adult females in the group initiate movement of the group with the male following their lead. The conservation status of the American patas lemur is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American patas lemur's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
American mastodon

The **American mastodon** (*Mammut americanum*) is a species of large elephant relative native throughout North America. It was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and was reintroduced by SciiFii's conservationists to boost biodiversity, to allow extinct animals to retain their own ecological niches, and, in the case of some animals like American mastodon, to help mitigate global warming. The American mastodon is a large land mammal, about 8 feet tall and weigh about as much as an average-sized Asian elephant. It is a herbivore that mainly feeds on leaves, fruits, nuts, shrubs, but can occasionally feast on leaf-less branches in times of hardship. It is a social herd-dwelling animal, with adult females as well as young males and females living together, which are leaded by the matriarch (female leader), but bull male American mastodons 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 American mastodon is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts.
Antetonitrus

***Antetonitrus africanus*** is a species of non-avian sauropod dinosaur that originally lived in the Early Jurassic Elliot Formation of South Africa as an extinct species, *Antetonitrus ingenipes*, and the genus itself was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern wetlands, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across eastern and southern Africa to help boost biodiversity. *Antetonitrus africanus* measures 9 to 11 meters (29.5-36.0 feet) in total body length, 2 to 2.6 meters (6.5-8.5 feet) high at the hips, and weighs about 2-2.5 tons. It is a quadrupedal herbivore, like all other sauropods, but also has primitive adaptations to use the forelimbs for grasping, instead of purely for weight support, thanks to the first digit of the hand, also called the "thumb" or pollex, which is still twisted and flexible, capable of grasping against the hand. As a primitive sauropod, *Antetonitrus africanus* has a fine coat of short feather covering that covered its head, neck, upper legs, and the tail base, which grow longer when winter is coming, and sheds to shorter feathers when spring arrives. Like many other sauropods, *Antetonitrus africanus* is entirely herbivorous, feeding primarily on leaves, pine needles, shrubs, fruits, nuts, cycads, and ferns. *Antetonitrus africanus* is a social animal that lives in herds consisting primarily of young and old females, as well as male calves. Like other sauropods, *Antetonitrus africanus* lays hard-shelled eggs, which are protected by guarding females known as sentries, and the hatchlings emerge from the eggs in spring, which are cared for by their mothers soon afterwards. *Antetonitrus africanus* reaches sexual maturity at the age of 7 years, and the lifespan is between 40 and 50 years on average. The conservation status of *Antetonitrus africanus* is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the animal's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Antilohyrax

The **antelope hyrax** (*Antilohyrax pectidens*) is a species of herbivorous mammal belonging to the order Hyracoidea that originally lived in what is now Egypt during the Late Eocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern forests, open woodlands, and grasslands across East Africa to help boost biodiversity. The antelope hyrax is a large animal compared with its native modern relatives, growing to be about 50 centimetres tall and weigh around 33–35 kg. It has features not seen in other hyraxes, including a "broad hyper-pectinate comb-like first incisor" on its lower jaw, selenodont molars and a rostrum similar to that seen in even-toed ungulates, and is a selective browser that prefers to feed on soft leaves and shoots. It has a deer-like snout and long slender limbs adapted for running and leaping, with leg bones incredibly similar in size and proportion to springbok antelopes, hence its name. The antelope hyrax is a solitary animal that lives most of its life alone except during breeding seasons, when males and females attempt to find each other in order to mate to ensure their species' further survival. The conservation status of the antelope hyrax is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and its wide range across Africa.
