Phoberomys (SciiFii)

The greater pacarana (Phoberomys pattersoni), also known as the Patterson's pacarana, is a species of giant hystricognath rodent that originally lived in what is now South America during the Miocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern rainforests, swamps, marshlands, forests, and open woodlands of Central America and South America to help boost biodiversity. The greater pacarana is one of the largest living rodent on Earth, usually growing on average of about 9.8 feet (3 meters) long (including the tail) and weigh between 250 and 700 kg (550 and 1,540 lb), it is second only to the giant pacarana as the biggest rodent species. It is a docile herbivore that primarily feeds on reeds, grasses, leaves, fruits, nuts, seeds, and other kinds of edible vegetation. It rests on its haunches while feeding, using its smaller forelimbs to gather plant material. The greater pacarana's hind limbs are massive, but its front limbs are comparatively slender, causing the animal's centre of gravity to be located toward the back. This allows the animal to be able to occasionally stand on its back legs to reach for some of its food sources. It is a social animal that can live in herds of up to around 20 individuals at a time. The conservation status of the greater pacarana is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the greater pacarana's wide range (with the Central American populations also expanding upwards towards North America), and its tolerance to most of human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburb.
