Zygolophodon (SciiFii)

The common mastodon (Zygolophodon turicensis) is a species of mammutid mastodon that originally lived from the Miocene to the Late Pliocene in what is now Africa, Asia, and Europe and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern forests, open woodlands, and grasslands across Eurasia and Africa to help boost biodiversity. It is a very large land mammal, growing to be around 3.9–4.1 metres in shoulder height and can weigh about 14–16 tonnes, making it the largest species of mastodon that has ever lived, even bigger than the American mastodon. Like all elephants and close relatives, the common mastodon is a herbivore, feeding mainly on leaves, shrubs, and a wide range of fruits. It is a social herd-dwelling animal, with adult females as well as young males and females living together, which are leaded by the matriarch (female leader), but bull male common mastodons live in mostly solitary lives unless it is breeding seasons, when males have musth and males find suitable females to mate with. The conservation status of the common mastodon is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and due to the common mastodon's wide range.
