Watoo (SciiFii)

The watoo (Giraffalagus cento) is a species of large okapi-sized lagomorph that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across Africa to help boost biodiversity. The watoo carries large angular blotches similar to those possessed by the giraffe. Such patterns make individuals merge into one another so that a distant predator gets only a confused impression of the herd as a whole. It is particularly effective in thorn thickets and areas of scrubby woodland. The watoo is a browsing herbivore, unlike most large lagomorphs, feeding primarily on leaves, shrubs, fruits, seeds, and nuts. The watoo is a social animal that usually lives in small herds consisting of up to around 9 individuals at a time. The conservation status of the watoo is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the watoo's wide range.
