Maned peccary (SciiFii)

The maned peccary (Pachygonus crispus) is a species of large peccary that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across South America to help boost biodiversity. The maned peccary is similar to the North American tusked peccary (Tayagonus ceratodon), but with smaller tusks, a dorsal mane, hence its name, and longer legs. The maned peccary lives in small herds that roam the open and dry tropical landscapes. The maned peccary is an omnivore that feeds on any edible food sources, from cacti leaves to carrion. The conservation status of the maned peccary is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the maned peccary's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
