Merriam's tapir (SciiFii)

Merriam's tapir (Tapirus merriami) is a species of tapir 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 western United States to help boost biodiversity. Merriam's tapir resembles a Brazilian tapir (Tapirus terrestris), but without a mane and has a thicker fur much like the mountain tapir (Tapirus pinchaque) to keep itself warm in the cold environments. It is the largest living species of tapir of North America, growing to be between the size of a Baird's tapir (Tapirus bairdii) and the Malayan tapir (Tapirus indicus). Merriam's tapir is a herbivore that primarily feeds on the forest and swamp vegetation. Like most tapirs, it is a solitary animal that spends most of its entire life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the Merriam's tapir is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the Merriam's tapirs' wide natural range, and its tolerance level towards human activities similar to those of whitetail/mule deer, allowing it to survive and flourish in parts of cities and suburbs.
