North American great hornbill

The **North American great hornbill** (*Buceros americanum*), also simply known as the **North American hornbill** and the **American hornbill**, is a species of hornbill of the genus *Buceros* that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across North America to help boost biodiversity, making it one of the only species of hornbill of the New World. The North American great hornbill is a large bird, 95–130 cm (37–51 inches) long, with a 152 cm (60 inch) wingspan and a weight of 2 to 4 kg (4.4 to 8.8 lb). The average weight of 7 males was 3 kg (6.6 lb) whereas that of 3 females was 2.59 kg (5.7 lb). The North American great hornbill is long-lived, living for nearly 50 years in captivity. It is predominantly frugivorous, but is an opportunist and will prey on small mammals, reptiles and birds. During the breeding season (March to June), the American great hornbills become very vocal. They make loud duets, beginning with a loud "kok" given about once a second by the male, to which the female joins in. The pair then calls in unison, turning into a rapid mixture of roars and barks. They prefer mature forests for nesting. Large, tall and old trees, particularly emergents that rise above the canopy, seem to be preferred for nesting. They form monogamous pair bonds and live in small groups of 2-40 individuals. Group courtship displays involving up to 20 birds have been observed. The female hornbill builds a nest in the hollow of a large tree trunk, sealing the opening with a plaster made up mainly of feces. She remains imprisoned there, relying on the male to bring her food, until the chicks are half developed. During this period the female undergoes a complete moult. The young chicks have no feathers and appear very plump. The mother is fed by her mate through a slit in the seal. The clutch consists of one or two eggs, which she incubates for 38–40 days. The female voids feces through the nest slit, as do the chicks from the age of two weeks. Once the female emerges from the nest, the chicks seal it again. The young birds have no trace of a casque. After the second year the front extremity separates from the culmen, and in the third year it becomes a transverse crescent with the two edges growing outwards and upwards, while the anterior widens to the width of the rear end. Full development takes five years. The conservation status of the North American great hornbill is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American great hornbill's wide range and its tolerance to most of the human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
Megahippus

The **greater forest zebra** (*Megahippus magnus*), also known as the **great forest horse**, is a species of anchithere horse, despite its name, that originally lived in North America during the Miocene as an extinct species of *Megahippus* and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The greater forest zebra is a larger relative of *Anchitherium*, growing on average of around 7.8 feet (2.4 meters) in length, 3.9 feet (1.1 meters) at the shoulders, and weighing about 150-260 kg. Like other primitive horses, the greater forest zebra retains three-toed hoofed feet and a largely browsing diet, with a preference for soft vegetation, like leaves, sprouts, and fruits. Unlike most horses, the greater forest zebra is a solitary animal that prefers to live most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the greater forest zebra is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the greater forest zebra's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Moloka'i stilt-owl

The **Moloka'i stilt-owl** (*Grallistrix geleches*) is a species of true owl (Strigidae) native to Molokai, Hawaii. The Moloka'i stilt-owl was once extinct since the early Holocene, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to Molokai. The Moloka'i stilt-owl is the largest of the four known species of stilt-owls (*Grallistrix*), growing to be about 60 cm (1.9 feet) tall. Although it has proportionally short wings it is still capable of flying, and specializes in stalking and ambushing smaller birds like Hawaiian honeycreepers in the dense forests, although it is known to prey on sleeping birds on foot and raid seabird colonies at night. The Moloka'i stilt-owl is a rather solitary animal throughout most of its life except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the Moloka'i stilt-owl is **Near Threatened** due to some habitat loss and, historically, invasive pigs and egg-eating rodents, however, thanks to the conservationists, the invasive pigs and egg-eating rodents have been eradicated from all of the Hawaiian islands and the Moloka'i stilt-owl is a protected species.
Miragaia

***Miragaia sciifii*** is a species of long-necked non-avian stegosaurid dinosaur that originally lived from the Upper Jurassic rocks in Portugal (Lourinhã Formation, Sobral Unit) and possibly also Wyoming, United States (Morrison Formation), as an extinct species, *Miragaia longicollum*, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and now lives in **Cretaceous Park** located at Sacramento, California. *Miragaia sciifii* has the longest neck known for any stegosaurian, which included at least seventeen vertebrae. *Miragaia sciifii* is a rather large animal, growing on average of around 18–20 feet (5.5–6 metres) in length and weighing about 2 tons. Like most stegosaurians, *Miragaia sciifii* is generally a peaceful herbivore that primarily feeds on leaves, pine needles, fruits, nuts, cycads, ferns, and horsetails. It normally uses its spikes on its tail for defense against any potential predators, and it only uses these natural weaponry when it feels threatened. *Miragaia sciifii* is a solitary animal that spends throughout most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons.
Mullerornis

The **pygmy elephant bird** (*Mullerornis modestus*) is a species of elephant bird (*Aepyornithidae*) native to Madagascar. The pygmy elephant bird was once extinct since the Early Holocene, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced throughout the rainforests, forests, swamps, and open woodlands across Madagascar to help boost biodiversity. The pygmy elephant bird is the smallest of the elephant birds, only growing to be about the size of an Australian emu. Like the elephant bird, the pygmy elephant bird has a nocturnal and crepuscular lifestyle, similarly to the kiwis of New Zealand, due to greatly reduced optic lobes. The pygmy elephant bird is a pure herbivore that primarily feeds on fruits, leaves, and seeds of many native plants. The pygmy elephant bird is a solitary animal that spends throughout most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the pygmy elephant bird is **Near Threatened** due to some habitat loss and historic poaching, however, thanks to the conservationists, the pygmy elephant bird is a protected species and is making a comeback.
Neocnus

The **Cuban ground sloth** (*Neocnus comes*) is a species of small ground sloth that originally lived in Cuba and Hispaniola during the Pleistocene through the earliest part of the Holocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to Cuba and Hispaniola to help boost biodiversity. When fully grown, the Cuban ground sloth can grow to be about the size of an average-sized American beaver. Although the Cuban ground sloth resembles the much-larger mainland ground sloth, it has a longer tail and a broad trunk, as well as lissome limbs and long claws. Like all species of ground sloths, the Cuban ground sloth is a herbivore that mainly feeds on leaves, fruits, and shrubs. Unlike most ground sloths, however, it is mostly a solitary animal due to living in a landmass smaller than the mainland North or South America, which had also caused their ancestors to shrink over time due to insular dwarfism. It can stand upright on its back legs like most ground sloths using its tail for balancing, in a manner similar to tamanduas. Unlike other ground sloths and despite its name, its strong limbs allow it to climb onto trees and other vegetation, using its tail for balancing while climbing. The conservation status of the Cuban ground sloth is **Vulnerable** due to habitat loss and sometimes human hunting, however, the conservationists are doing their best in protecting Cuban ground sloths from going extinct again.
North American bulldog bat

A **North American bulldog bat** (*Noctilio ursinus*), also known as the **northern bulldog bat** and the **northern fisherman bat**, is a species of bat that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout North America to help boost biodiversity. The North American bulldog bat uses echolocation to detect water ripples made by the fish and water insects (including water striders and water beetles) upon which it preys, then uses the pouch between its legs to scoop the fish/water insect up and its sharp claws to catch and cling to it. It emits echolocation sounds through the mouth like *Myotis daubentoni*, but the sounds are quite different, containing a long constant frequency part around 55 kHz, which is an unusually high frequency for a bat this large. The North American bulldog bat is a large bat, often with a combined body and head length of 10.9 to 12.7 cm (4.3 to 5.0 in). It generally weighs from 50–90 grams. Males tend to be larger than females, with the former averaging 67 grams and the latter averaging 56 grams. They also differ in fur color. Males have bright orange fur on the back while females are dull gray. However, both sexes have pale undersides and may have a pale line that runs down the middle of the back. Unlike greater bulldog bats (*Noctilio leporinus*) or the lesser bulldog bat (*Noctilio albiventris*), the North American bulldog bat has a thicker coat of fur to help keep it warm in the cold nights, like all other North American bats (both natural and genetically engineered), so it can even be found in areas as far north as Alaska. The conservation status of the North American bulldog bat is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American bulldog bat's wide range and its tolerance to most of the human activities.
Noivern

A **noivern** (*Dracochiropteryx pokevus*) is a species of bat that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii due to demands for real life Pokémon-like animals from Pokémon fans, and unlike most bat species, noiverns are legal as pets due to not carrying any diseases/viruses, as well as being easy to care for compared with most bats. However, due to careless pet owners releases noiverns to the wilderness, noiverns can now be found throughout Eurasia, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, North America, and South America in almost every single habitat. Compared to most other microbats, the noivern is one of the largest microbat species on Earth, with the wingspan of about 50 cm (20 in) and a body mass of 60 g (2.1 oz). It is a predatory animal that primarily feeds on fish, frogs, lizards, small birds, and smaller mammals. The noiverns are nocturnal, foraging for prey at night and roosting in sheltered areas during the day such as caves, tunnels, tree cavities, and human structures. Their breeding season is in the fall, shortly before their annual hibernation. After hibernation ends in the spring, females form maternity colonies for giving birth to young. Oftentimes only one offspring is produced per litter, though twins are common in the Eastern US. Lifespans of 6.5 years are considered average. The conservation status of the noivern is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the noivern's wide range, and its tolerance to most of human activities, including being able to flourish and adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
Menoceras

The **twin-horned American rhinoceros** (*Menoceras americanus*) is a species of rhinoceros that originally lived in most of southern North America and as far south as Central America during the early Miocene epoch as an extinct species of *Menoceras* and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern forests, open woodlands, grasslands, and scrublands of North and Central America to help boost biodiversity. The female twin-horned American rhinoceroses are hornless, but males sport two horns side by side at the tip of the nose, hence its name. It is a rather small species of rhinoceros, only growing to the length of about 5 feet (1.5 meters) long, around the size of a large pig, or a domesticated sheep. The twin-horned American rhinoceros is a social herd-dwelling herbivore, living in groups up to around 15 at a time, and feeds on a range of low-lying vegetation. The conservation status of the twin-horned American rhinoceros is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the twin-horned American rhinoceros' wide range, and its tolerance level to habitat loss similar to those of whitetail/mule deer, allowing hornless American rhinoceroses to live in parts of cities and suburbs.
North American chinchilla

A **North American chinchilla** is a species (*Chinchilla septentrionali*) is a species of crepuscular chinchilla that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, alpine, and tundra habitats across North America to help boost biodiversity. The North American chinchillas are very similar to the long-tailed chinchillas (*Chinchilla lanigera*), but are larger and slightly more robust, about the size of the short-tailed chinchillas (*Chinchilla chinchilla*). They can live on the lowlands and at high elevations of up to 4,270 m (14,000 ft). The North American chinchilla has the densest fur amongst mammals that live on land, along with the South American chinchillas. Like other chinchillas, the North American chinchillas are often kept as pets, and may be considered a type of pocket pet, but unlike other chinchillas, they are very tolerant to be petted by people, making them much more suitable pets than South American chinchillas. In the wild, North American chinchillas burrow under rocks or in the ground for shelter. They mostly live in cool and colder climates, for which they are well-adapted because of their dense fur. They feed upon a wide range of vegetation. They are social animals living in colonies or herds; North American chinchillas usually have litters of one or two offspring. The conservation status of the North American chinchilla is **Least Concern**, unlike most other chinchillas, due to successful conservation efforts, the North American chinchilla's wide range and its tolerance to most of the human activities.
Megaladapis

The **koala lemur** (*Megaladaspis arctos*) is a species of large thick-bodied arboreal lemur species found in the forests and rainforests of eastern Madagascar. It was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to where the original now-extinct koala lemur species once lived in. The koala lemur is the second largest known species of lemur, growing to be about as large as an orangutan, in both length and weight. It is a herbivore that mainly feeds on leaves, fruits, soft nuts, and small branches. Having a lifestyle similar to koalas of Australia, it is almost entirely solitary, except during breeding seasons and/or if it's a mother. The conservation status of the koala lemur is **Vulnerable** due to habitat loss, however, the conservationists are trying to save koala lemurs from going extinct again, by protecting their natural habitats and through captive breeding.
Neogyps errans

The **American palm-nut vulture** (*Neogyps errans*), also known as the **American-Old World vulture**, is a species of vulture of the family *Aegypiinae* that originally lived in North America during the Pleistocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced throughout the forests, swamps, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The American palm-nut vulture breeds in forest and grasslands across temperate, subtropical, and tropical North America, usually near water, its range coinciding with that of the oil and various other palm trees. It is quite approachable, like African vultures of many species, and can be seen near habitation, even on large hotel lawns in the tourist areas of states such as, for example, California and Florida. Unusually for birds of prey, the American palm-nut vulture feeds mainly on the fleshy fruit-husks of the oil palm and on the palm-fruits of other palm trees. These fruits make up over 60% of the adult bird's diet and over 90% of the juvenile bird's diet. It has also been recorded to feed on crabs (both freshwater and marine), molluscs, frogs, fish, locusts, small mammals, even reptiles’ eggs and hatchlings, and it has been known to occasionally attack domestic poultry and feed on carrion. Breeding pairs construct large stick nests high up in tall trees and will often exhibit a strong attachment to the nest site. They may stay at the nesting site for an entire year. Where any kinds of palms are present, breeding pairs will build a nest at the base of the palm fronds. At the beginning of the breeding season, pairs soar together in an aerial display of rolling and diving, much more acrobatic than most vultures. During each breeding cycle, a single, white and brown egg is laid, which is incubated by both sexes, over a period of four to six weeks. Normally around 85 to 90 days after hatching, the young brown chicks will fledge. The conservation status of the American palm-nut vulture is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American palm-nut vulture's wide natural range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Mountain pronghorn

The **mountain pronghorn** (*Oreocapra oreocapra*) is a species of antilocaprid that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the hilly and mountainous habitats across North American to help boost biodiversity. The mountain pronghorn is a small, sturdy ungulate; it reaches 43–60 centimetres (17–23.6 inches) at the shoulder and weighs from 8 to 18 kilograms (18 to 40 pounds). The coat of the mountain pronghorn, yellowish gray to reddish brown, acts as an efficient camouflage in its rocky habitat. Unlike many other pronghorns and relatives, the mountain pronghorn has a thick and coarse coat with hollow, brittle hairs. The horns, short and spiky, typically measure 7.5–9 cm (3-3.5 inches). Typically nocturnal, the mountain pronghorn rests during the middle of the day and late at night. A gregarious animal, the mountain pronghorn is monogamous to a much greater extent than other pronghorns; individuals of opposite sexes exhibit long-term to lifelong pair bonding. The mates tend to stay as close as within 5 meters (16 feet) of each other at most times. Males form territories, 7.5–49 hectares (18.5–121 acres), in which they stay with their partners and offspring. Primarily a browser, the mountain pronghorn prefers young plants, fruits and flowers. Gestation lasts around six months, following which a single calf is born; births peak from spring to early summer. The calf leaves its mother when it turns a year old. The conservation status of the mountain pronghorn is **Least Concern** due successful conservation efforts, the mountain pronghorn's wide range and its ability to live in rocky habitats unsuited for game hunters, and the species' tolerance to many of the human activities.
North American army ant

The **North American army ant** (*Eciton texum*) is a species of New World army ant in the genus *Eciton*, most closely related to the Eciton army ant (*Eciton burchellii*), that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the tropical, subtropical, and temperate rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across North America and Central America to help boost biodiversity. This species displays a high degree of worker polymorphism. Sterile workers are of four discrete size-castes: minors, medias, porters (sub-majors), and soldiers (majors). Soldiers have much larger heads and specialized mandibles for defense. In lieu of underground excavated nests, colonies of North American army ants form temporary living nests known as bivouacs, which are composed of hanging live worker bodies and which can be disassembled and relocated during colony emigrations. North American army colonies cycle between stationary phases and nomadic phases when the colony emigrates nightly. These alternating phases of emigration frequency are governed by coinciding brood developmental stages. Group foraging efforts known as "raids" are maintained by the use of pheromones, can be 200 metres (660 feet) long, and employ up to 200,000 ants. Workers are also adept at making living structures out of their own bodies to improve efficiency of moving as a group across the forest floor while foraging or emigrating. Workers can fill "potholes" in the foraging trail with their own bodies, and can also form temporary living bridges. Like other army ants, North American army ants are predatory and feed on a wide range of other insects (including other ants), spiders, scorpions, small frogs, small lizards, and small mammals, however, they do not prey on animals the size of or larger than brown rats. Colonies may be quite large, accommodating as many as 100,000 to 600,000 adult individuals. Each colony consists of a single queen, a brood of developing young, and many adult workers. The adult workers make up the majority of the population. There are four distinct physical worker castes. The queen usually copulates with 10–20 males, which leads to a colony with a large number of worker patrilines, which are full-sibling families with the same father and mother. When a colony's size reaches a maximum, it can result in a split in the colony, with the old queen heading one resultant swarm and a daughter heading the other. The conservation status of the North American army ant is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American army ant's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Hovering swooper

The **hovering swooper** (*Volitantornis vulgaris*) is a species of swallow (Hirundinidae) 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 relatives of the hovering swooper are the swallows of the genus *Hirundo*, including barn swallows (*Hirundo rustica*). The hovering swooper grows on average to be about 15 centimeters (5.9 inches) in length. The hovering swooper, as its name suggests, is a fast-flying aerial insect hunter that tends to hover in place, using its long and powerful wings to help the bird hover and fly very efficiently, and then dart away once they spot suitable prey and then chase it down. It can occasionally catch other small prey such as small lizards. It uses its speed and agility to try and outwit the many predators that target it, such as falcons and owls. However, its most defining trait is the fact that this species is social and nests in underground colonies in large numbers where all birds help to excavate tunnels and nesting cavities, which may have multiple entrance holes depending on the number of birds nesting. The nest is maintained for several years and the walls reinforced with clay and saliva, which hardens to form a sort of natural concrete. The hovering swoopers never stray too far from their colonies, and have a mental map of all the nest entrances in the area. In the case of the predator attack, the birds will dive-bomb into the holes in the ground to escape predators. The entrance hole is just a straight drop for several meters, and ends in a large central chamber filled with grass in order to create a soft landing place. The hovering swoopers let out the shrill calls as they dive-bomb in order to alert other individuals to get out of the way. If the nest's entrance gets blocked, the birds will dig randomly in order to find the way out. During the breeding seasons, a new partner of separate genders is taken. Pairs are formed in spring during the start of the breeding seasons, and they tend to perform aerial acrobatics in order to strengthen their bond before mating occurs. The rufous head patch is used to signal strength to a potential partner, colors grow dull in sick individuals. The female lays 2 eggs and parental duties are shared between the pair. The average lifespan of the hovering swooper is between 3-4 years, although there are reports of individuals living between 5-7 years. The conservation status of the hovering swooper is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the hovering swooper's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
New Zealand banded penguin

The **New Zealand banded penguin** (*Spheniscus novaehollandiae*) is a species of banded penguin (*Spheniscus*) that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the coastlines across New Zealand to help boost biodiversity. New Zealand banded penguins penguins are medium-sized penguins which grow to be 61–76 centimeters (24–30 inches) tall and weigh between 2.7 and 6.5 kilograms (6.0 and 14.3 lbs). The males are larger than the females, and the weight of both drops while the parents raise their young. Adults have black backs and white abdomens. There are two black bands between the head and the breast, with the lower band shaped in an inverted horseshoe. The head is black with a broad white border that runs from behind the eye, around the black ear-coverts and chin, and joins at the throat. Chicks and younger penguins have grey-blue backs, with a more faded grey-blue colour on their chest. Magellanic penguins feed in the water, preying on cuttlefish, squid, jellyfish, krill, and other crustaceans, and ingest sea water with their prey. Their salt-excreting gland rids the salt from their bodies. Adult penguins can regularly dive to depths of between 20 m to 50 m deep in order to forage for prey. During the breeding season males and females have similar foraging and diving patterns as well as diet composition, however diets diverge post-season when limitations imposed by chick rearing are removed. New Zealand banded penguins travel in large flocks when hunting for food. In the breeding season, these birds gather in large nesting colonies at the New Zealand coasts. The breeding season begins with the arrival of adult New Zealand banded penguins at the breeding colonies in September and extends into late February and March when the chicks are mature enough to leave the colonies. One of the largest of these colonies is located at Wellington, North Island. Nests are built under bushes or in burrows. Two eggs are laid. Incubation lasts 39–42 days, a task which the parents share in 10- to 15-day shifts. The chicks are cared for by both parents for 29 days and are fed every two to three days. Normally, both are raised through adulthood, though occasionally only one chick is raised. A successful New Zealand banded is considered to be able to raise 0.7 chicks on average per breeding season. New Zealand banded penguins can live up to 25 years in the wild, but as much as 30 years in captivity. The conservation status of the New Zealand banded penguin is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the New Zealand banded penguin's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Mokele-mbembe

The **mokele-mbembe** (*Mokeletherium hippovora*) is a species of chalicothere that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests and wetlands across Africa to help boost biodiversity. The mokele-mbembe is the largest known species of chalicothere, having an average length of between 5 to 10 meters (16 to 32 feet). Uniquely among chalicotheres, the mokele-mbembe has a long tail ending in spikes similarly to stegosaurs, mainly used for defense against any potential predators. Unlike most chalicotheres, the mokele-mbembe is an amphibious animal that spends the majority of its life in the water, in a manner similar to hippopotamuses. The mokele-mbembe is entirely herbivorous and mainly feeds on fruits, leaves, nuts, and aquatic vegetation. The mokele-mbembe is a solitary animal that spends throughout most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. It is largely territorial and often fights against other herbivores, including hippopotamuses, for territory. The conservation status of the mokele-mbembe is **Vulnerable** due to some habitat loss and historic poaching, however, thanks to conservationists, the mokele-mbembe is a protected species and is making a comeback.
Megalocnus

The **Caribbean ground sloth** (*Megalocnus rodens*), also known as the dwarf ground sloth and the Caribbean dwarf ground sloth, is a species of small ground sloth that originally lived in what is now the Caribbean Islands during the Pleistocene through the early Holocene and were once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to modern Caribbean Island to help boost biodiversity. Despite its name, it is one of the largest of the xenarthran mammals of the Caribbean Islands, growing to be around 90 kg (200 lb) when fully grown, about the size of a medium-sized dog. Like all species of ground sloths, the Caribbean ground sloth is a herbivore that mainly feeds on leaves, fruits, and shrubs. Unlike most ground sloths, however, it is mostly a solitary animal due to living in a landmass smaller than the mainland North or South America, which had also caused their ancestors to shrink over time due to insular dwarfism. The conservation status of the Caribbean ground sloth is **Vulnerable** due to habitat loss and sometimes human hunting, however, the conservationists are doing their best in protecting Caribbean ground sloths from going extinct again.
Mystriosuchus

***Mystriosuchus modernus*** is a species of phytosaur that originally lived in the Late Triassic (middle Norian) in what is now Europe, as several extinct species of *Mystriosuchus*, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern temperate and subtropical rainforests, wetlands, lakes, and rivers across the Azores archipelago to help boost biodiversity. *Mystriosuchus modernus* is a rather large reptile, measuring about 4 meters (13 feet) long and weighing up to 453 kg (999 lb) on average. Despite its appearance and lifestyle similar to crocodilians, it is not a crocodilian and is only distantly related to crocodilians. There are several differences in anatomy between phytosaurs, such as *Mystriosuchus modernus*, and crocodilians, including the fact that the phytosaur ankle structure is much more primitive than that of any crocodilians and, most notably, phytosaurs have nostrils placed near or above the level of the eyes, in contrast to crocodilians where the nostrils are near the end of the snout. *Mystriosuchus modernus* is more adapted to aquatic life than other known phytosaurs, possessing shorter and more paddle-like limbs as well as just two type of osteoderms as opposed to the higher diversity of other phytosaurs. *Mystriosuchus modernus* is a carnivore with a primarily fish-eating and mollusk-eating diet, having long jaws with needle-like teeth for catching slippery fish and soft mollusks, similar to those of the Asian gharials. The conservation status of *Mystriosuchus modernus* is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the animal's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Mosasaurus

***Mosasaurus hawaiiensis*** (name meaning "Hawaiian lizard of the Meuse River") is a species of aquatic lizard belonging to the mosasaur family of the Mosasaurini tribe that originally lived in the United States, South America, Europe, Africa, Western Asia, and Antarctica around 82-66  million years ago during the Campanian and Maastrichtian stages of the Late Cretaceous period as an extinct species of *Mosasaurus* and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii. It was originally going to be showcased at **Cretaceous Park**, unfortunately, ships that contained tanks which had 23 *Mosasaurus hawaiiensis* had crashed into rocky seafloors near the coast of Oregon and sank, letting the 19 surviving *Mosasaurus hawaiiensis* loose into the modern tropical, subtropical, temperate, and subpolar climates across the Pacific Ocean. *Mosasaurus hawaiiensis* is a carnivore, possessing excellent vision to compensate for its poor sense of smell, that primarily feeds on moderate-sized fish, squid, ammonites, and small-to-medium-sized marine reptiles. *Mosasaurus hawaiiensis* is one of the largest species of mosasaurs on Earth, growing to between 6.5-18 meters (21-59 feet) in length. It has a high-profile tail fluke like other mosasaurs, showing that it and other mosasaurs do not have an eel-like swimming method, but are more powerful, fast swimmers similar to sharks. Like all mosasaurs, *Mosasaurus hawaiiensis* is endothermic ("warm-blooded"), allowing it to have a high metabolism rate and, thanks to having blubber, tolerate cooler waters in which it inhabits. Like other mosasaurs, *Mosasaurus hawaiiensis* has a forked tongue similar to monitor lizards and has a same function, smelling for its food sources, despite its sense of smell being poor. Infighting takes place in the form of snout grappling, similarly seen in crocodiles. The conservation status of *Mosasaurus hawaiiensis* is **Least Concern** due to the species' wide range and abundant source of food, as well as the species' tolerance to many of the human activities.
Mesopithecus

The **European vervet monkey** (*Mesopithecus communis*), also simply known as the **European vervet**, is a species of Old World monkey part of the colobine monkey subfamily, despite its name, that originally lived in Europe during the Miocene and Pliocene as an extinct species of *Mesopithecus* and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction SciiFii and introduced throughout the swamps, forests, and open woodlands to help boost biodiversity. The European vervet monkey is named for is resemblance to African vervet monkeys in both build and size, growing on average of around 40 centimetres (16 inches) in length. It is adapted to both walking and climbing, possessing a slender body with long, muscular limbs and flexible fingers. The European vervet monkey eats a primarily herbivorous diet, living mostly on wild fruits, flowers, leaves, seeds, and seed pods. In agricultural areas, vervets become problem animals, as they raid bean, pea, young tobacco plants, vegetable, fruit, and grain crops. Animal foods of their diet include grasshoppers and termites. Raids of cattle egrets and weaver bird nests have been observed where the vervets eat the eggs and chicks. The European vervet monkeys are social animals, having a similar social behavior to their African counterparts. The conservation status of the European vervet monkey is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the European vervet monkey's wide range and its tolerance to most of the human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
Jamaican red macaw

The **Jamaican red macaw** (*Ara gossei*) is a species of parrot in the family Psittacidae that may have originally lived on Jamaica, although its existence as an actual species is hypothetical, and was once extinct (if it ever existed), but in case it existed, has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to Jamaica to help boost biodiversity. The parrot is very similar to the Cuban macaw, but lacks the white "mask" over its eyes and has more extensive orange feathers on the top and back of its head and neck. It is a herbivore that primarily feeds on fruits, nuts, seeds, and other same kinds of vegetation that other macaws feed on, but often needs to feed on clay to help augment a sodium-poor diet. In the wild, it is a social animal that lives in flocks of up to around 50 individuals at a time. The conservation status of the Jamacian red macaw is **Near Threatened** due to some habitat loss, illegal pet trade, and, historically, poaching, however, thanks to conservationists, the Jamacian red macaw is a protected species and is making a comeback.
Mesoscalops

The **American golden mole** (*Mesoscalops montanensis*) is a species of fossorial mole-like proscalopidae insectivore, not a true mole or a golden mole, despite its name, that originally lived in the United States during the Middle Miocene and was once extinct, but it has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, scrublands, and deserts across North America to help boost biodiversity. The American golden mole is named due its resemblance to true golden moles, as a result of convergent evolution. When foraging for soil invertebrates, the American golden moles excavate superficial burrows using their conical nose shield and highly modified forefeet. Females are slightly smaller than males. American golden moles have very dense, soft, and silky coats. The coats are colored blackish to slaty-grey and brown to pale fawn. They have also been observed to venture on to sandy beaches to feed on amphipods and isopods occurring there. The conservation status of the American golden mole is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the American golden mole's wide range and its tolerance to most of the human activities.
North American green iguana

The **North American green iguana** (*Iguana americanus*), also known as the **North American giant iguana** and simply the **North American iguana**, is a species of iguana that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across the southeastern, southern, and southwestern United States to help boost biodiversity. The North American green iguana may resemble green iguanas (*Iguana iguana*) of Central and South America, but it is one of the largest lizards in the United States and can grow much larger than its South American cousins, growing up to 10 feet (3 meters) long and weighing up to around 70 kilograms (150 lb), about the size of a Komodo dragon (*Varanus komodoensis*). Despite its large size, the North American green iguana is a herbivore that primarily feeds on leaves such as turnip greens, mustard greens, dandelion greens, flowers, fruit, shoots, and among others, so it has adapted significantly with regard to locomotion and osmoregulation as a result of its diet. Although it is a herbivore, it can occasionally feed on grasshoppers, crickets, and snails to supplement its diet. It is extremely tolerant to freezing temperatures, unlike South American green iguanas, due to antifreeze in its blood, so it could survive in snowy winters with no ill effects. When frightened by a predator, North American green iguanas will attempt to flee and, if near a body of water, dive into it and swim away. If cornered by a threat, the green iguana will extend and display the dewlap under its neck, stiffen and puff up its body, hiss, and bob its head at the aggressor. If the threat persists, the North American green iguana can lash with its tail, bite and use its claws in defense. The wounded are more inclined to fight than uninjured prey. North American green iguanas use "head bobs" and dewlaps in a variety of ways in social interactions, such as greeting another iguana or to court a possible mate. The frequency and number of head bobs have particular meanings to other iguanas. buthas The conservation status of the North American green iguana is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American green iguana's wide range and its tolerance to most of the human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
North American dorado

The **North American dorado** (*Salminus americanus*) is a large, predatory characiform freshwater fish that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the wetlands, lakes, and rivers across North America to help boost biodiversity. The closest living relative of the North American dorado is the golden dorado (*Salminus brasiliensis*). Despite having *Salminus* in its name, th North American dorado is not related to any species of salmon, nor to the saltwater fish also called dorado. The North American dorado has a large head, with powerful jaws filled with sharp teeth. Adults are yellowish-brown in color, but juveniles are more silvery. Immatures (to a lesser extent adults) resemble *Brycon hilarii* and *Salminus brasiliensis*. It reaches maturity around 37 centimeters (15 inches) long. The average size of the North American dorado is about 3–10 kg (6.6–22.0 lb). The largest recorded size is 1.3 meters (51 inches) in length and 34 kg (75 lb) in weight. Females grow considerably larger than males, but otherwise the sexes are similar. The North American dorado is the apex predator in its freshwater habitat. They are primarily piscivores, eating a wide variety of fish, but have also been recorded feeding on large insects, crustaceans and small vertebrates (for example, rodents, lizards and birds). Some of the adult North American dorado's favorite prey includes schooling fish. In the larval stage, North American dorados feed on plankton. As they grow larger, they switch to insects and small fish. The North American dorado is migratory in response to temperature, season and food sources, and moves upstream, typically about 400 km (250 mi), to spawn in the late summer and middle fall. It is generally a solitary species, but migrates in groups. The females reach maturity when 4–5 years old and can lay up to 2 million eggs, which are released near the water surface. North American dorados can reach an age of more than 15 years. The conservation status of the North American dorado is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the North American dorado's wide range.
Mesopropithecus

**Gold sloth lemurs** (*Mesopropithecus*) are a genus of small to medium-sized lemurs, or strepsirrhine primates, from Madagascar that includes three species, the **common gold sloth lemur** (*Mesopropithecus dolichobrachion*), the **lesser gold sloth lemur** (*Mesopropithecus globiceps*), and the **greater gold sloth lemur** (*Mesopropithecus pithecoides*). Together with *Palaeopropithecus*, *Archaeoindris*, and *Babakotia*, it is part of the sloth lemur family (*Palaeopropithecidae*). The three species of gold sloth lemurs were once extinct since the Early Holocene, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced back to Madagascar to help boost biodiversity. As gold sloth lemurs have the shortest forelimbs of all sloth lemurs, they are more quadrupedal and do not use suspension as much as the other sloth lemurs. All three species feed primarily on leaves, fruits, and seeds, but the proportions are different.  The greater gold sloth lemur is primarily a leaf-eater (folivores), but can also feed on fruit and occasionally seeds. The lesser gold sloth lemur usually feeds on a mix of fruits and leaves, as well as a larger quantity of seeds than the greater gold sloth lemur. The common gold sloth lemur also consumes a mixed diet of fruits and leaves, but it is more of a seed predator than the other two species. Although rare, the three species are widely distributed across the island yet allopatric to each other, with the common gold sloth lemur in the north, the greater gold sloth lemur in the south and west, and the lesser gold sloth lemur in the center of the island. The common gold sloth lemur is the most distinct of the three species due to its longer arms. All known species of gold sloth lemurs are slightly larger than the largest of the indris. The conservation status of all known species of gold sloth lemurs is **Vulnerable** due to some habitat loss and historic poaching, however, thanks to the conservationists, all three species of gold sloth lemurs are a protected species.
North American glory

The **North American glory** (*Asterope septentrionalem*) is a species of butterfly of the family Nymphalidae that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The wingspan of the North American glory can reach 57–68 millimetres (2.2–2.7 in). The coloration and patterns of this species are quite variable. Usually the dorsal sides of the wings are metallic bright blue with paler margins, while the under sides are basically grayish or pale blue with rows of small black spots and lines on the hindwings and a large reddish-orange patch on the basal half of the hindwings. The adults fly all year round but they are most common from May to August. he hindwings is yellow, varying in tone from pale cream to deep saffron depending on locality. The adult North American glory feeds on nectar of a wide range of flowers, while the caterpillars of the same species feed on a variety of leafy vegetation. The conservation status of the North American glory is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the North American glory's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
Megantereon

The **robust saber cat** (*Megantereon robustus*) is a species of machairodontine saber-toothed cat that originally inhabited Africa, Eurasia, and North America as several extinct species of *Megantereon* and the genus itself was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced throughout the modern rainforests, wetlands, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across Africa, Eurasia, and North America to help boost biodiversity. The closest living relatives of the robust saber cats are saber-toothed cats of the genus *Smilodon*. The robust saber cat is built like a large jaguar, but somewhat heavier. It has stocky forelimbs with the lower half of these forelimbs lion-sized. It has large neck muscles which are designed to deliver a powerful shearing bite. The elongated upper canines are protected by flanges at the mandible. The largest subspecies of robust saber cat native to India has a shoulder height of 72 centimetres (28 inches) and a body weight of 90–150 kilograms (200–330 lb) (average 120 kilograms (260 lb)), however, most subspecies in Eurasia, Africa, and North America are slightly smaller. Despite their sizes, robust saber cats are scansorial and therefore able to climb trees, unlike the saber-toothed cats of the genus *Smilodon*, which spend their time on the ground. Being specialized in hunting slower, more robust prey than African clouded leopards (*Dinofelis grandicristata*), the robust saber cats primarily hunts larger artiodactyls, horses, as well as the young of rhinos and elephants. Like other members of the saber-toothed cat family, the sobust saber cat uses its long saber teeth to deliver a killing throat bite, severing most of the major nerves and blood vessels. While the teeth would still risk damage, the prey animal are killed quickly enough that any struggles are feeble at best. Robust saber cats are generally solitary animals throughout their lives, but often join together during the mating seasons, similarly to jaguars and tigers, or if they are mothers who are caring for their young. The conservation status of the robust saber cat is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts and the robust saber cat's wide range.
