American dwarf moa

The **American dwarf moa** (*Anersias nanopoda*), also known as the **dwarf anersia**, is a species of waterfowl, most closely related to the geese of the genus *Branta*, despite its name, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforest, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The American dwarf moa is a rather small bird for its family, growing up to be about 20 cm (7.8 inches) in length. The American dwarf moa is entirely herbivorous and feeds primarily on grasses, seeds, grains, and shoots, although it is known to occasionally feed on aquatic plants. Unlike most waterfowls, the American dwarf moa has a large crop that contains bacteria that aids in digesting grass, allowing the bird to make in most of the nutrients. Like its relatives, the American dwarf moa has short and sturdy legs for walking, and largely roost in the water. A highly gregarious species, the American dwarf moa forms large flocks that constantly travel in search of new feeding grounds. Unlike the majority of the geese and relatives, the American dwarf moa is very calm and shows no aggression towards humans and other sapient species, so it is easily accepted to live in fields, parks, and other man-made grassy areas. Breeding occur in early spring or at the start of the rainy season in the subtropical and tropical areas. American dwarf moas pair up and form large colonies, preferably in islands and vegetation near park lakes, where they are often protected against predators. Females construct shallow nests and lay 4-7 eggs per clutch. The young are kept close to the water to allow a rapid escape in case of and attack. The average lifespan of the American dwarf moa is usually between 5 and 10 years, although reports of American dwarf moas living past 10 years are not uncommon. The conservation status of the American dwarf moa is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American dwarf moa's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
American bird-of-paradise

The **American birds-of-paradise** (*Americaparadisaeidae*) are a family of birds of the order *Passeriformes* 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. Despite their appearances, the American birds-of-paradise are not related to "true" birds-of-paradise of New Guinea, and are actually most closely related to finches of the *Fringillidae* family. The family has 27 species in 10 genera. Like "true" birds-of-paradise of New Guinea, which are unrelated to the American birds-of-paradise, the members of this family are best known for the plumage of the males of the species (the majority) which are sexually dimorphic, in particular the very long elaborate feathers extending from the beak, wings, tail or head. The diet of all species is dominated by fruits, seeds, and, to a lesser extent, worms and arthropods. The American birds-of-paradise have a variety of breeding systems, ranging from monogamy to lek-type polygamy. All known American birds-of-paradise species mimic each species of New Guinea birds-of-paradise in size, appearance, locomotion, and vocalizations, as the scientists and zoologists who created American birds-of-paradise intended to have them being as close to true birds-of-paradise as possible while retaining the birds' tolerance to freezing temperatures and their adaptability to a wide range of habitats, including cities and suburbs as examples. The conservation status of every known species of American birds-of-paradise is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American birds-of-paradise's wide range and their tolerance to many of the human activities.

American chamois

The **American chamois** (*Rupicapra pacifica*) is a species of medium-sized goat-antelope of the genus *Rupicapra* that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the swamps, forests, open woodlands, and hilly woodlands to help boost biodiversity. The fully-grown American chamois is a very small bovid. A fully grown American chamois reaches a height of 70–80 cm (28–31 in) and measures 107–137 cm (42–54 in) (the tail is not generally visible except when mating). Males, which weigh 30–60 kg (66–132 lb), are slightly larger than females, which weigh 25–45 kg (55–99 lb). Both males and females have short, straightish horns which are hooked backwards near the tip, the horn of the male being thicker. In summer, the fur has a rich brown colour which turns to a light grey in winter. Distinct characteristics are white contrasting marks on the sides of the head with pronounced black stripes below the eyes, a white rump and a black stripe along the back. American chamois are found in swamps and forests where they primarily feed on leaves, shoots, conifers, barks, and needles. Primarily diurnal in activity, they often rest around mid-day and may actively forage during moonlit nights. Female American chamois and their young live in herds of up to 15 to 30 individuals; adult males tend to live solitarily for most of the year. During the rut (late November/early December), males engage in fierce battles for the attention of unmated females. An impregnated female undergoes a gestation period of 170 days, after which a single kid is usually born in May or early June - on rare occasions, twins may be born. If a mother is killed, other females in the herd may try to raise the young. The kid is weaned at six months of age and is fully grown by one year of age. However, the kids do not reach sexual maturity until they are three to four years old, although some females may mate at as early two years old. At sexual maturity, young males are forced out of their mother's herds by dominant males (who sometimes kill them), and then wander somewhat nomadically until they can establish themselves as mature breeding specimens at eight to nine years of age. American chamois can reach an age of 27 years in captivity, although the maximum recorded in the wild is from 18 to 21 years of age. The conservation status of the American chamois is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the American chamois's wide range.
American bearded barbet

The **Americans bearded barbet** (*Neolybius solitairus*) is a species of bird in the family Capitonidae, the New World barbets, despite resembling a species of Old World barbet, the bearded barbet (*Lybius dubius*), 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 bearded barbet is an arboreal species of gardens, city parks, and wooded country which eats fruit, although the young are fed on insects. It nests in a tree hole, laying 3-4 white eggs. This is a conspicuous, large barbet at 26 centimetres (10 inches). It is fairly plump, with a short neck, large head and a shortish tail. The adult has a black crown, back, tail and breast band. The throat and belly are red and there is a yellow eye patch. The rump is white. The massive bill is very thick and yellow, and the well developed clump of bristles at its base give the species its name. Sexes are similar. The call is a growling scrawk. The bearded barbet is found in well-wooded areas with plentiful fruiting trees. It will enter city parks and gardens for fruit. It forms social groups of 3-9 birds and pairs or groups roost together in a tree cavity. The conservation status of the American bearded barbet is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American bearded barbet's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Alaskan chalico

The **Alaskan chalico** (*Lanigermoropus antiqus*) is a species of chalicothere that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the forest and tundra habitats across Canada and Alaska to help boost biodiversity. The Alaskan chalico is a rather large animal, growing on average to be about the size of *Chalicotherium*. The Alaskan chalico is protected against the cold by its thick blubber and a coat of thick underfur, similarly to the other large tundra-dwelling mammals. The Alaskan chalico is a herbivore that primarily feeds on leaves, shrubs, fruits, pine needles, bark, twigs, roots, tubers, shoots, flowers, and nectar. The Alaskan chalico is a rather solitary animal that prefers to spend most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the Alaskan chalico is **Vulnerable** due to habitat loss related to climate change, however, thanks to the conservationists, the Alaskan chalico is a protected species and many people are switching to clean, renewable energies to help mitigate the damages caused by man-made climate changes.
American kagu

The **American kagu** (*Pantheornis megarhynchos*) is a species of crested, long-legged, and bluish-grey bird of the family **Rhynochetidae**, most closely related to the New Caledonian kagus (*Rhynochetos*), 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. Measuring 55 centimeters (21+1⁄2 inches) in length, the American kagu has pale grey plumage and deep red legs. Its 'nasal corns' are a unique feature not shared with the majority of other modern-styled bird. American kagus make a range of different sounds, most commonly while duetting in the morning, each duet lasting about 15 minutes. The American kagu's crest and wings are used in territorial displays towards other American kagu, slightly different displays are used towards potential predators. Territorial disputes may be resolved by fighting using wings and bills, in the wild this seldom results in serious injuries. Almost flightless, it spends its time on or near the ground, where it hunts its invertebrate prey and, occasionally, small vertebrates. However, it can use its wings to glide when fleeing danger. The wings are not reduced in size like some other flightless birds, and have a span of around 77.5 centimeters (30+1⁄2 inches), but they lack the musculature for flight. It possesses bright red legs which are long and strong, enabling the bird to travel long distances on foot and run quickly. The American kagu builds a nest of sticks on the forest floor and the females lay around 11 and 23 eggs at a time. Both parents share incubation of the eggs, as well as rearing the chicks. The conservation status of the American kagu is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American kagu's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
American gundi

**American gundis** (*Calictenodactylidae*), also known as the **American comb rats**, are a family of rodents of the infraorder Ctenodactylomorphi, most closely related to the African gundis (*Ctenodactylidae*), that originally did not exist, but have since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, scrublands, and deserts across North and Central America to help boost biodiversity. American gundis are medium-sized rodents, ranging from 17 to 18 centimeters (6.6-7.0 inches) in body length, with compact bodies covered in soft fur, short legs, and large eyes. They have only four toes on all feet and the middle toes of the hind feet carry comb-like bristles, which earned them the name "comb rat". American gundis have short tails, which in some species are covered in a large fan of hair that aids in balancing as they move about their rocky and uneven environments. Their ribcages are flexible, which helps them fit into small crevices. American gundis are herbivorous, eating almost every type of available plant. Like many other desert animals, they do not drink in arid areas, obtaining all the moisture they need from their food. American gundis live in colonies of up to a hundred or more individuals, although this is much less in environments where food is particularly scarce. They shelter in existing rock crevices at night, or during midday when the sun becomes too hot for them to remain active. Most shelters are temporary, but some are occupied for years. American gundis pile onto each other for heat, especially in cold or windy weather. They are not known to hibernate. American gundi colonies have a dunghill that all the members of the colony use. American gundis are vocal animals, with a range of alarm calls and communication signals for group bonding, greetings, and alerting other American gundis of predators. All members of Calictenodactylidae thump their hind feet on the ground when alarmed. American gundis rely on their acute hearing. Females typically give birth to two to four young at a time, after a gestation period of about two months. Because of the need to preserve moisture, female American gundis produce only a small amount of milk, and the young are fully weaned by four weeks of age. On average, female American gundis are bigger than males. American gundis live about 3 to 4 years in the wild, while they live twice as long in captivity. The conservation status of all known species of American gundis is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American gundi's wide range and their tolerance to many of the human activities.
American flightless rail

The **American flightless rail** (*Rallieraphous floridanus*), also known as the **American flightless crake**, is a species of small, ground-dwelling bird of the rail (*Rallidae*) family that originally did not exist, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, and open woodlands across southeastern United States to help boost biodiversity. The American flightless rail is a medium-sized rail about 11 inches (28 cm) in total length. The body is elongated and laterally compressed, particularly in the neck and breast regions, allowing the birds to move rapidly through dense vegetation. The plumage or feather color and pattern of both sexes is similar, however males can often be distinguished by their larger size. Unlike other flightless rails, the American flightless rails are able to escape from dangers, including predators, more effectively thanks to their elongated legs built for running long distances as well as being able to climb onto dense vegetation with the help of its sharp-clawed prehensile toes. Its toes also end in sharp, strong claws for burrowing so it could make deep nests away from usual dangers such as predatory mammals, including domestic cats. The American flightless rail is a secretive, flightless, territorial species that is most easily observed as it bathes or feeds along roadsides or field edges. The call is a loud, piercing whistle or series of whistles, usually given by two or more birds in response to a loud noise, the call of another rail, or other disturbances. Though individuals will respond almost invariably to the call of another rail, the species is generally silent. It is a year-round ground nester. It lays around 20-30 eggs and both parents share in the construction of a shallow nest of leaves and grass. They mature at six months of age and have been known to produce up to 50 clutches per year in captivity. The species is omnivorous but appears to prefer animals over vegetable food. It is known to eat gastropods, skinks, geckos, anoles, agamas, insects, and carrion as well as seeds and palm leaves. The conservation status of the American flightless rail is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American flightless rail's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Ailuropoda baconi

The **greater panda** (*Ailuropoda baconi* or *Ailuropoda melanoleuca baconi*) is a panda bear (*Ailuropoda*) that originally lived from south China, Laos, Vietnam, Myanmar and Thailand from the Late Pleistocene, 750 thousand years ago, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced throughout the forested environments, primarily with native bamboo, across its former range to help boost biodiversity. The greater panda is the largest known species of panda on record and is larger than the closely related giant panda, growing to between 8-10% larger than the giant panda. The greater panda is a folivore, with bamboo shoots and leaves making up more than 95% of its diet. Greater pandas in the wild occasionally eat other grasses, wild tubers, or even meat in the form of birds, rodents, or carrion. In captivity, they may receive honey, eggs, fish, yams, shrub leaves, oranges, or bananas along with specially prepared food. Though the greater panda is often assumed to be docile, it has been known to attack humans, presumably out of irritation rather than aggression. The greater panda is a terrestrial animal and primarily spends its life roaming and feeding in the bamboo forests of the mountains and in the hilly areas. Greater pandas are generally solitary. Each adult has a defined territory and a female is not tolerant of other females in her range. Social encounters occur primarily during the brief breeding season in which pandas in proximity to one another will gather. After mating, the male leaves the female alone to raise the cub. The conservation of the greater panda is **Endangered** due to habitat loss and poaching, however, thanks to the conservationists, the greater panda is a protected species.
Algae carp

The **algae carp** (*Neocarassius alga*) is a species of carp that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the lakes, rivers, and man-made waterways across mainland Eurasia, Great Britain, and Japan to help boost biodiversity. The closest living relative of the algae carp is the Crucian carp (*Carassius carassius*). The algae carp is a rather average-sized carp species, growing to be between 30-40 centimeters (11.8-15.7 inches) in length and weighing around 3.5 kilograms. The algae carp earns its name for its green coloration, which allows the species to blend in with the algae-choked waters in parts of its range. The algae carp is an adaptable species, able to thrive in both flowing and standing waters, freshwater and brackish waters. It is also exceptionally tolerant to low oxygen levels, pollution, and acidification. The algae carp is able to endure long winters by hibernating, and can survive completely frozen water by digging into the mud at the bottom of the water. During the hibernation, all of the body functions of the fish slow drastically, and the fish is able to survive during the hibernation without food and very little oxygen. The algae carp may spend up to 5 months in hibernation. The algae carp has a hump on its back to help it store food during the hibernation. The algae carp is an omnivorous filter-feeder and primarily feeds on plankton and bacteria, although it can occasionally feed on small invertebrates to supplement its diet. The gills of the algae carp are highly adapted structures that trap microscopic organisms. The algae carp counters the problems of low oxygen in the water by developing a simple lung to breathe air. Despite having extremely poor eyesight, the algae carp is able to sense danger with its sense of smell and the lateral line to detect. The algae carp also uses the lateral line to communicate with other members of its species. The algae carp has an ability to give birth to live young, and the young are born well-developed and are able to swim to the surface to take their first breath directly after birth, similarly to marine mammals. The algae carp is gregarious, but do not form shoals. The males court females during autumn, and the females give birth to 3-6 well-developed young during the spring. The algae carp reaches sexual maturity in 2-5 years, depending on the climate. The algae carp can live to be up to 70 years, especially in the colder climates. The conservation status of the algae carp is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the algae carp's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
American colobus lemur

The **American colobus lemur** (*Neocolobolemur palliatus*) is a species of adapiform primate, despite its name, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The American lion-tailed lemur greatly resembles the mantled guereza (*Colobus guereza*) of Africa in size, build, tail shape, and coloration, most likely to simulate convergent evolution. It has a distinctive appearance; the long white fringes of hair that run along each side of its black trunk are known as a mantle. Its face is framed with white hair and it has a large white tail tuft. The American colobus lemur is diurnal and arboreal, found in both deciduous and evergreen forests. It is an adaptable species that can cope with habitat disturbance and prefers secondary forest close to rivers or lakes. Although the American colobus lemur primarily feeds on leaves, it also eats seeds, fruits, and arthropods. It is able to digest plant material with a high fibre content with its specialised stomach and may only eat from a few plant species at a time. The American colobus lemur lives in social groups of three to fifteen individuals. These groups normally include a dominant male, several females, and the offspring of the females. It has a polygynous mating system and copulation is initiated with vocal communication. After a gestation period of just over five months, infants are born with pink skin and white fur, which darkens to the adult coloration by three to four months. The American colobus lemur is well known for its dawn chorus, the males' "roar" is a method of long-distance communication that reinforces territorial boundaries. It also makes other vocalization and uses body postures and movements to communicate. The conservation status of the American colobus lemur is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American colobus lemur's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Amargasaurus V1

***Amargasaurus ceracollum*** (name meaning "horn-necked La Amarga lizard") is a species of solitary medium-sized sauropod dinosaur that was once extinct and originally lived in Early Cretaceous (129.4–122.46 mya) Argentina, but has since been brought back from extinction and now lives in **Cretaceous Safari** in **Cretaceous Park** located in Sacramento, California. It is a large animal, but small for a sauropod, reaching 9 to 10 meters (30 to 33 feet) in length. Most distinctively, it sports two parallel rows of tall spines down its neck and back, taller than in any other known sauropod. These spines stick out of the body as solitary structures that supports a keratinous sheath, and are normally used for defense against predators. *Amargasaurus ceracollum* feeds at mid-height, caused by the orientation of its inner ear and the articulation of its neck vertebrae, which is normally a habitual position of the snout 80 centimeters (31 inches) above the ground and a maximum height of 2.7 meters (8.9 feet). Within the Sauropoda, *Amargasaurus ceracollum* is classified as a member of the family Dicraeosauridae, which differs from other sauropods in showing shorter necks and smaller body sizes.
Acrophoca

The **swan-necked seal** (*Acrophoca longirostris*), also known as the **long-necked monk seal** and sometimes called the **goose-necked seal**, is a species of pinniped part of the monk seal family that originally lived in the Late Miocene in what is now South America, as an extinct species, *Acrophoca longirostris* and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the Pacific coastlines of Central and South America to help boost biodiversity. The swan-necked seal is a medium-sized seal, growing on average to be around 5 feet (1.5 meters) long. Unlike most seals, it is not as well-adapted to swimming as its relatives, possessing less developed flippers and a less streamlined neck. Because of these characteristics, it usually spends a lot of time near the coast. Its teeth are built for piercing, and its diet consists primarily of fish. However, it also has interdigitated tooth cusps causing the teeth on the upper jaw to fit with the teeth of the lower jaw, which is consistent with filter feeders, allowing it to occasionally filter-feed unlike most seals. Unlike other earless seals, the swan-necked seal has a long and flexible neck, with an elongated body. The orientation of the pelvis, which in comparison to other earless seals is everted, along with having adaptations to the hind limbs. The swan-necked seal's swimming is mainly powered by the back flippers. It is less adapted for the sea than the lobodontine seals, so it primarily inhabits nearshore waters. The reproduction and social behavior of the swan-necked seal is very similar to those of other monk seals. The conservation status of the swan-necked seal is **Vulnerable** due to some habitat loss and historic poaching, however, thanks to the conservationists, the species is protected and is making a comeback.
American giant squirrel

The **American giant squirrel** (*Neoratufa giganteum*) is a species of tree squirrel from the genus ***Neoratufa*** in the subfamily **Ratufinae**, which 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. The American giant squirrel is one of the largest arboreal squirrels, with a head–and–body length of 25–50 cm (10 in–1 feet 8 inches), a tail that is about the same or somewhat longer, and a weight of 1.5–2 kg (3.3–4.4 lb), although rarely up to 3 kg (6.6 lb). Average for both sexes is about 36 cm (1 ft 2 in) in head–and–body length, 45 cm (1 feet 6 inches) in tail length and 1.7–1.8 kg (3.7–4.0 lb) in weight. It has a conspicuous one-, two- or three-toned colour scheme. The colours involved can be whitish, creamy-beige, buff, tan, rust, reddish-maroon, brown, a dark seal brown or black. The underparts and the front legs are usually cream coloured, the head can be brown or beige, however there is a distinctive white spot between the ears. Otherwise the colours depend on the subspopulation. Due to its size, coloration, and build, it vaguely resembles the Indian giant squirrel (*Ratufa indica*), however, it is a more adaptable animal that tolerates a wider variety of forest habitats. The American giant squirrel is an upper-canopy dwelling species, which rarely leaves the trees, and requires "tall profusely branched trees for the construction of nests." It travels from tree to tree with jumps of up to 6 meters (20 feet). When in danger, the Ratufa indica often freezes or flattens itself against the tree trunk, instead of fleeing. Its main predators are the birds of prey like owls and the big cats such as cougars. The American giant squirrel is mostly active in the early hours of the morning and in the evening, resting in the midday. They are typically solitary animals that only come together for breeding. The species is believed to play a substantial role in shaping the ecosystem of its habitat by engaging in seed dispersal. Diet includes fruit, flowers, nuts and tree bark. Some subpopulations are omnivorous, also eating insects and bird eggs. The American giant squirrel lives alone or in pairs. They build large globular nests of twigs and leaves, placing them on thinner branches where large predators can't get to them. These nests become conspicuous in deciduous forests during the Summer. An individual may build several nests in a small area of forest which are used as sleeping quarters, with one being used as a nursery. Captive breeding of the American giant squirrel, a close relative has usual births in March, April, May, and June. The young weigh 74.5 g at birth and have a length of 27.3 cm. The conservation status of the American giant squirrel is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American giant squirrel's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Akada

The **akada** (*Akadotherium familiaris*) is a species of domesticated litoptern mammal, closely related to *Macrauchenia*, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii due to demands from farms and petting zoos who want to increase varieties of animals in their farms. The akada is a very large mammal, growing to be about the same size as a large horse, suitable for humans to ride, similarly to horses and camels. As a domestic animal, it comes in many different colors depending on an individual, usually being brown, brown-and-black, brown-and-white, brown-and-blonde, blonde, blonde-and-black, and other "natural" colors. It is a herbivore that feeds on grasses, leaves, fruits, vegetables, roots, tubers, shoots, reeds, bulbs, shrubs, seeds, and edible mushrooms. Depending on an individual, it is either a solitary animal or a social herd-dwelling animal. It is one of the most popular farm and petting zoo animals, along with sheep, goats, mini-horses, donkeys, pigs, llamas, and alpacas.
American kelpie

The **American kelpie** (*Amphibidontotherium hippus*) is a species of hyracodont rhinoceros that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and riverbanks across North America to help boost biodiversity. The closest living relatives of the American kelpie are the much larger indricotheres such as *Paraceratherium*. It is an average-sized hyracodont, about the size of a large Shetland pony. The American kelpie is entirely herbivorous and primarily forages on grasses, leaves, pine needles, shrubs, fruits, ferns, horsetails, and aquatic vegetation. The American kelpie is mostly a solitary animal that prefers to live alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the American kelpie is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American kelpie's wide range, and its tolerance to most of the human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
American bar-headed goose

The **American bar-headed goose** (*Anser barracephalus*) is a species of goose that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, scrublands, lakes, rivers, and ponds across North America to help boost biodiversity. The American bar-headed goose greatly resembles the Indian bar-headed goose (*Anser indicus*), being primarily pale grey and having black bars on its head, hence its name. It is also much paler than many other geese in this genus. In flight, its call is a typical goose honking. A mid-sized goose, it measures 71–76 centimeters (28–30 inches) in total length and weighs 1.87–3.2 kilograms (4.1–7.1 lb). The American bar-headed goose is one of the world's highest-flying birds, being known to fly higher than 8,000 metres (26,000 ft). The main physiological challenge of American bar-headed geese is extracting oxygen from hypoxic air and transporting it to aerobic muscle fibres in order to sustain flight at high altitudes. Flight is very metabolically costly at high-altitudes because birds need to flap harder in thin air to generate lift. The American bar-headed geese breathe more deeply and efficiently under low-oxygen conditions, which serves to increase oxygen uptake from the environment. The haemoglobin of their blood has a higher affinity for oxygen than that of low-altitude geese, which is attributed to a single amino acid point mutation. This mutation causes a conformational shift in the haemoglobin molecule from the low-oxygen to the high-oxygen affinity form. The left-ventricle of the heart, which is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood to the body via systemic circulation, has significantly more capillaries in bar-headed geese than in lowland birds, maintaining oxygenation of cardiac muscle cells and thereby cardiac output. Compared to other geese and many lowland birds, mitochondria (the main site of oxygen consumption) in the flight muscle of American bar-headed geese are significantly closer to the sarcolemma, decreasing the intracellular diffusion distance of oxygen from the capillaries to the mitochondria. American bar-headed geese have a slightly larger wing area for their weight than many other geese, which helps them fly at high altitudes. While this decreases the power output required for flight in thin air, birds at high altitude still need to flap harder than lowland birds. The American bar-headed goose is herbivorous and primarily feeds on short grasses, although it can occasionally feed on long grasses and fallen leaves. The American bar-headed goose is known to lay between five to eleven eggs at a time in a ground nest. The conservation status of the American bar-headed goose is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American bar-headed goose's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
American ape lemur

The **American ape lemur** (*Anthropropithecus walkeri*), sometimes incorrectly known as the **American ape**, the **American chimpanzee**, the **American bonobo**, and the **American orangutan**, is a species of very ape-like, tailless adapiform primate 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 closest living relative of the American ape lemur is the **American gorilla lemur** (*Gorillalemur pithecoides*). The American ape lemur is covered in sandy brown hair, but has a bare gray face, fingers, toes, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet. It is a large prosimian primate, weighing 40–70 kilograms (88–154 lb) for males and 27–50 kilograms (60–110 lb) for females and standing 120 to 150 centimeters (3 feet 11 in to 4 feet 11 in) on its hind limbs. The American ape lemur is an omnivorous frugivore. It prefers fruit above all other food items but also eats leaves and leaf buds, seeds, blossoms, stems, pith, bark, resin, and even several vine species (which can contains the toxic alkaloid strychnine). While the American ape lemur is mostly herbivorous, it does eat honey, soil, insects, birds and their eggs, and small to medium-sized mammals, including other primates. Its gestation period is between six and seven months. The infant is weaned at about three years old, but usually maintains a close relationship with its mother for several years more. The American ape lemur lives in groups that range in size from 15 to 150 members, although individuals travel and forage in much smaller groups during the day. The American ape lemur lives in a strict male-dominated hierarchy, where disputes are generally settled without the need for violence. American ape lemurs are among the most intelligent adapiform primates, being known to use tools, modifying sticks, rocks, grass and leaves and using them for hunting and acquiring honey, termites, ants, nuts and water. The American ape lemur is known to create sharpened sticks to spear small mammals. The conservation status of the American ape lemur is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the American ape lemur's wide range.
Ahytherium

The **Brazilian river sloth** (*Ahytherium aureum*), also known as the **lake sloth**, is a species of megalonychid sloth that originally lived in Brazil during the Pleistocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to throughout the modern rainforests, wetlands, and riverbanks across Brazil to help boost biodiversity. The Brazilian river sloth is a a large (three meter or 9.8 foot long), rather slow-moving terrestrial sloth that is capable of defending itself from carnivores with its powerful claws. Uniquely among ground sloths, the Brazilian river sloth has a flattened tail, more robust body, and shortened, tall head, which are adaptations for a semi-aquatic lifestyle. The Brazilian river sloth feeds primarily on aquatic plants, leaves, and fruits. Adult Brazilian river sloths are known to care for young Brazilian river sloths of different generations, ensuring the further survival of their species. The conservation status of the Brazilian river sloth is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the Brazilian river sloth's wide range.
Abyssal rainbow gar

The **abyssal rainbow gar** (*Abyssobelonidus atlanticus*) is a species of deep-sea needlefish that either originally never existed or was native to the Atlantic Ocean before its extinction in the 20th century, but has since been (re)created by SciiFii and (re)introduced to the Atlantic Ocean to help boost biodiversity. It is a rather small needlefish species, growing to be around 4 inches long. It has a blue body, a scarlet head, and a yellow tail, with a long beak. Like other species of needlefish, it is known to swim in small groups and can swim upright, in a manner similar to some other needlefish species. The conservation status of the abyssal rainbow gar is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the abyssal rainbow gar's wide range.
American coucal

The **American coucal** (*Centropus americanum*), sometimes known as the **rainbird**, is a species of cuckoo in the family Cuculidae of the genus *Centropus* that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, and shrublands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The American coucal reaches an average length of 36-42 centimeters (14-16.5 inches). It has a white throat and underparts, a black head and neck, dark yellowish-brown back and wings and a long black tail. Eyes are a deep red. It is famous for its bubbling call, which sounds like pouring water. The name “rainbird” comes from the superstitious people's belief that rain will soon fall after hearing the call of the American coucal. The American coucal can catch and eat various invertebrates, small rodents, birds up to the size of doves and pigeons, reptiles and amphibians. Most of the foraging is done in trees or in bushes. It will also swoop down and catch prey on the ground. The American coucal is usually seen as a solitary individual or in pairs. Unlike many Old World cuckoos or relatives, American coucals are not brood parasites, though they do have their own reproductive peculiarity: American coucals are (to varying degrees) sex-role reversed, so that the smaller male provides most of the parental care. The nest is built by the male and is a large deep cup made up of grass and leaves. It is placed in tall grass, reedbeds, thickets, bush, hedges or in a thorny tree, usually 0.5-10 meters above ground. The egg-laying season is between March-June in most places. 2-5 eggs are laid and incubated mostly by the female for around 15-16 days. The feet of the chicks develop fast enough for them to move around the bush before they can fly. Chicks usually leave the nest after around 21 days, but will be dependent on the parents for several more weeks. The conservation status of the American coucal is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American coucal's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Aepycamelus

The **giraffe camel** (*Aepycamelus giraffa*), also known as the **long-necked camel**, is a species of camelid found in the grasslands, shrublands, scrublands, and open woodlands across North America. It was once extinct since the Miocene as an extinct species of *Aepycamelus*, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to modern North America to help boost biodiversity. Its head is relatively small compared with the rest of its body, its neck is long, as a result of giraffe-like lengthening of the cervical vertebrae, and its legs are long and stilt-like, with the elbow and knee joints on the same level. The top of its head is about 3 meters (9.8 ft) above the ground. It is known to move about singly or in small groups, like African giraffes, and like them, browses high up in the trees. The conservation status of the giraffe camel is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the giraffe camel's wide range and its tolerance to most of human activities.
Aldabrachelys abrupta

The **abrupt giant tortoise** (*Aldabrachelys abrupta*) is a species of giant tortoise that is endemic to Madagascar and was once extinct since the Early Holocene, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced back to its former range to help boost biodiversity. The carapace is a brown or tan color with a high, domed shape. It has stocky, heavily scaled legs to support its heavy body. The neck of the abrupt giant tortoise is very long, even for its great size, which helps the animal to exploit tree branches up to a meter from the ground as a food source. Similar in size to the famous Galápagos giant tortoise, its carapace averages 122 cm (48 in) in length with an average weight of 250 kg (550 lb). Females are generally smaller than males, with average specimens measuring 91 cm (36 in) in length and weighing 159 kg (351 lb). Primarily herbivores, abrupt giant tortoises eat grasses, leaves, and woody plant stems. They occasionally indulge in small invertebrates and carrion, even eating the bodies of other dead tortoises. In captivity, abrupt giant tortoises are known to consume fruits such as apples and bananas, as well as compressed vegetable pellets. Abrupt giant tortoises are found both individually and in herds, which tend to gather mostly on open grasslands. They are most active in the mornings, when they spend time browsing for food. They dig burrows or rest in swamps or dense forests to keep cool during the heat of the day. The lifespan of the abrupt giant tortoise is identical to those of the Aldabra giant tortoises (*Aldabrachelys gigantea*), one of the closest relatives of the abrupt giant tortoise. The conservation status of the abrupt giant tortoise is **Near Threatened** due to some habitat loss and historic poaching, however, thanks to the conservationists, the abrupt giant tortoise is a protected species and is making a comeback.
American griffon vulture

The **American griffon vulture** (*Gyps americanum*), also known as the **North American griffon vulture**, the **American griffin**, the **North American griffin**, the **American scavenging vulture**, and the **American scavenger vulture**, is a species of Old World vulture that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout almost every habitat across North America to help boost biodiversity. The American griffon vulture is a huge Old World vulture species, usually measuring around 95–115 centimeters (37–45 inches) in body length, with a wingspan of 2.5–2.9 meters (8.2–9.5 feet). The American griffon vulture is a typical-looking Old World vulture, with a very white head in most individuals (although some have completely naked pink heads), very broad wings and short tail feathers. It has a white neck ruff and yellow bill. The buff body and wing coverts contrast with the dark flight feathers, and many have light gray body feathers, although some American griffon vultures have darker gray, even black, feathers, making them somewhat resemble stereotypical vultures in color (especially the individuals with naked pink heads). Like many other vultures, the American griffon vulture is a scavenger, feeding mostly from carcasses of dead animals which it finds by soaring over open areas, often moving in flocks. It establishes nesting colonies on trees and in cliffs while coverage of open areas and availability of dead animals within dozens of kilometres of these trees and cliffs is high. The American griffon vulture grunts and hisses at roosts or when feeding on carrion. The maximum recorded lifespan of the American griffon vulture is 44.1 years for an individual in captivity. The American griffon vulture usually breeds on crags in mountains as well as in nests or crevices in trees, laying either 2 or three eggs. American griffon vultures may form loose colonies. The population is mostly resident. Juveniles and immature individuals may migrate far or embark on long-distance movements. Density Dependence in this colonial species has been shown to affect annual reproductive success with eyries in protected location (caves, potholes and sheltered ledges) producing more fledglings, and used preferentially, than low-quality eyries (exposed ledges and open crevices), which were only used when the number of breeding individuals increased. The conservation status of the American griffon vulture is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American griffon vulture's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
American lion

The **American lion** (*Panthera atrox*), also known as the **North American lion** or the **American cave lion**, is a species of lion-like pantherine cat that originally lived in North America during the Pleistocene epoch about 340,000 to 11,000 years ago and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to the forests, open woodlands, and grasslands of North America to help boost biodiversity. The American lion is most closely related to the Eurasian cave lion (*Panthera spelaea*). It is about 25% larger than a lion, growing to be about 1.6 to 2.5 meters (5 ft 3 in to 8 ft 2 in) from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail and standing about 1.2 meters (3.9 ft) at the shoulder, making it one of the largest known felids. The American lion have a weight range of 235–523 kg (518–1,153 pounds) for males and 175–365 kg (386–805 pounds) for females, making the American lion heavier than *Smilodon*. The American lions are ambushing social pack hunters that live in prides much like lions, with the males usually being the leaders of the prides. The conservation status of the American lion is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the American lion's wide natural range.
