Notopithecus (SciiFii)

The American psudeosquirrel (Notopithecus psudeorodentia) is a species of squirrel-like notoungulate mammal that originally lived from South America during the early-to-mid Cenozoic as some of many extinct Notopithecus species (not a primate, despite its genus name) and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout modern South America to help boost biodiversity. As its name suggests, the American psudeosquirrel is not a squirrel and only resembles a squirrel due to convergent evolution. It is a rather small semi-arboreal burrowing animal, growing only about the size of an average-sized house cat. The American psudeosquirrel is a herbivore that primarily feeds on grasses, leaves, fruits, roots, tubers, bulbs, and other kinds of vegetation. It is a solitary animal that lives in most of its life alone except during breeding seasons. The American psudeosquirrel's reproduction is very similar to a domestic cat, but has a completely different lifestyle, filling the ecological niche similar to the ground squirrels. The conservation status of the American psudeosquirrel is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American psudeosquirrels' wide range and their tolerance to most of the human activities.
