Pampatherium (SciiFii)

The greater pampathere (Pampatherium terrestris) is a species of armadillo-like pampathere that originally lived from the Late Miocene to the end of the Pleistocene Epoch in South America and Mexico as an extinct species of Pampatherium and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced throughout Mexico, Central America, and South America to help boost biodiversity. The greater pampathere is a very large animal, growing to be about 9.8 feet (118 inches/3 meters) in length, including the tail, and weighing about 160 kilograms (352 lbs) on average, about twice the size of a giant armadillo (Priodontes maximus). Like armadillos, the armor of the greater pampathere has moveable lateral bands on its armor that help it be more flexible, allowing the greater pampatherium to curl up into an armored ball like some armadillos. Given the wide natural range of the greater pampathere, the greater pampathere travels great distances for food, mostly vegetation, but the greater pampathere can also feed on insects or carrion as well. The greater pampathere is a solitary animal that spends throughout most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the greater pampathere is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the greater pampathere's wide natural range.
