Palaeotapirus (SciiFii)

The prehistoric tapir (Palaeotapirus primas) is a species of tapir that originally lived from the Late Miocene of Eurasia as an extinct species of Palaeotapirus, hence its name, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, marshlands, forests, and open woodlands across mainland Eurasia to help boost biodiversity. The prehistoric tapir is a rather medium-sized animal and can usually grow to be about the size of a large domestic dog. Unlike most tapirs, the prehistoric tapir lacks a prehensile trunk and instead has a more primitive rhino-like nose. It is also almost entirely terrestrial due to the fact that it doesn't have as much adaptations for an amphibious lifestyle compared with most other tapirs. Like other tapirs, however, the prehistoric tapirs are browsing herbivores that primarily feed on nuts, seeds, fruits, leaves, and shrubs. Like many tapirs, it is a solitary animal that prefers to spend most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the prehistoric tapir is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the prehistoric tapir's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
