Moropus (SciiFii)

Moropus coloradonensis (meaning "Colorado slow foot"), also known as the American graver, is a species of perissodactyl ("odd-toed" ungulate) mammal that part of the family called chalicotheres, which originally lived in Miocene North America from ~20.4—13.6 Mya, existing for approximately 6.8 million years, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to modern North America to help boost North America's biodiversity. The American graver resembles a cross between an Ancylotherium and a Chalicotherium, but it only walks flat-footed like an Ancylotherium. Like all chalicotheres, it is a browsing herbivore that mainly feeds fruits, leaves, soft nuts, and shrubs. It can live in small herds up to around 9 at a time. Unlike most wild hoofed mammals of North America, the American graver is a docile and almost-tame animal towards humans, despite having claws on their front limbs, and there has never been a record of an American graver injuring a human. The lifestyle and lifecycle of the American graver is very similar to tapirs and ground sloths, other than being primarily diurnal and their tameness towards humans. The conservation status of the American graver is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the American graver's tolerance to most of human activities.
