Homalodotherium (SciiFii)

The false chalico (Homalodotherium americanum) is a species of herbivorous notoungulate mammals that originally lived in South America during the Early to Mid Miocene as an extinct species, Homalodotherium cunninghami, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern forests, open woodlands, and grasslands of South America to help boost biodiversity. The false chalico is about 2 metres (6.6 ft) in body length, with a weight up to 300 kilograms (660 lb), and has long forelimbs with claws instead of hooves otherwise seen in related taxa. It walks on the soles of its hind feet and the toes of its front feet, which makes the animal higher at the shoulder than at the hips when it walked on all fours. It is partially bipedal, being able to pull down tree branches with its arms while rearing up on its hind legs. Various other animals have also developed this anatomical design and feeding style; examples are the chalicotheres ("true" chalicos), ground sloths (which share the same environments), the giant panda, the gorilla and the therizinosaur dinosaurs. The conservation status of the false chalico is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the wide range of the false chalico.
