Paludititan (SciiFii)

Paludititan sciifiiensis is a species of titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur which originally lived in the area of present Romania during the Late Cretaceous in the island ecosystem known as Hațeg Island as an extinct species, Paludititan nalatzensis, and the genus itself was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii. Paludititan sciifiiensis was originally planned to be featured in Cretaceous Park located in Sacramento, California, but at 3:53 AM on December 23rd, 2051, a group of unidentified criminals broke into the park and stole all of the approximately 250 eggs, possibly as an attempt to sell them to the black market, however, the criminals were caught and arrested near Orlando, Florida, where the eggs were unintentionally left abandoned in the forested habitats, and the eggs eventually hatched and adapted to the new environments around them as they grew up to adulthood. Within almost half a century, the populations of Paludititan sciifiiensis exploded from just 250 to more than 2,000 specimens found throughout Florida. Paludititan sciifiiensis is a small member of the sauropod clade, with a shoulder height of about 2 metres (6 feet 7 inches), the length of 6 metres (20 feet), and the weight at one tonne. Paludititan sciifiiensis is also known for its larger armor than those of Magyarosaurus, a more vertical neck posture, and a more whip-like tail. The nonbreeding coloration of Paludititan sciifiiensis is deep gray in color with a white "ring" around the base of its neck, a more pale gray on its upper neck, and a black head, while the male's breeding coloration is a more vivid-yet-pale purple and red. Like all other "natural" sauropods, Paludititan sciifiiensis is a pure herbivore that primarily feeds on ferns, horsetails, cycads, fruits, leaves, pine needles, and shrubs, although it is known to occasionally feed on fallen leaves and mushrooms to supplement its diet. Paludititan sciifiiensis often goes to shallow pools and watering holes to, not just to drink, but also to wallow in, in case days become very hot. Paludititan sciifiiensis, are very friendly and docile towards people, yet adult males around breeding season can become aggressive. Paludititan sciifiiensis, being a formerly island-only species, can be quite tame, and even sometimes enjoy being played with by the many people. Because of this, these dinosaurs can be easily hand-fed as well, even as wild animals. Paludititan sciifiiensis can be either a solitary animal that lives mostly alone or a social animal that lives in small herds. Being an island animal, it does not form large/huge herds as their larger cousins. Small family groups is common too for Paludititan sciifiiensis herds. Due to being very small compared with most sauropods, Paludititan sciifiiensis lays around 75-100 eggs at a time and can lay almost 15 times as much in its lifetime, with egg-laying seasons starting about 6-7 after mating. Paludititan sciifiiensis, is a great example of island dwarfism: animals becoming smaller on the island than their mainland cousins. Despite its small size compared with most sauropods, the closest living relative of Paludititan sciifiiensis is the South American Epachthosaurus, a much larger sauropod.
