The American lesser rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus americanus), also known the American brown rhino, American hair rhino, American hairy rhino or American two-horned rhinoceros, is a species of rhinoceros that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, marshlands, forests, foothills, mountainous areas, open woodlands, grasslands and shrublands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The American lesser rhinoceros is one of the smallest modern-styled rhinoceroses, although it is still one of a largest modern-styled land mammal in North America; it stands 112–145 centimeters (3.67–4.76 feet) high at the shoulder, with a head-and-body length of 2.36–3.18 meters (7.7–10.4 feet) and a tail of 35–70 centimeters (14–28 inches). The weight ranges from 500 to 1,000 kg (1,100 to 2,200 lb), averaging 700–800 kg (1,540–1,760 lb). Like its relatives from Asia, it has two horns; the larger is the nasal horn, typically 15–25 centimeters (5.9–9.8 inches), while the other horn is typically a stub. A coat of reddish-brown hair covers most of the American lesser rhino's body. The American lesser rhinoceros resembles the Sumatran rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) in size and appearance, but with thicker fur during winter in cold areas such as the boreal, alpine and rarely tundra environments. The American lesser rhinoceros are mostly solitary creatures, except for pairing before mating and during offspring rearing. Individuals have home ranges; bulls have territories as large as 50 km2 (19 sq mi), whereas females' ranges are 10–15 km2 (3.9–5.8 sq mi). The ranges of females appear to be spaced apart; males' ranges often overlap. American lesser rhinos defend their territories through fighting. Marking their territories is done by scraping soil with their feet, bending saplings into distinctive patterns, and leaving excrement. The American lesser rhino is usually most active when eating, at dawn, and just after dusk. During the day, they wallow in mud baths to cool down and rest. In the rainy season, they move to higher elevations; in the cooler months, they return to lower areas in their range. When mud holes are unavailable, the rhino will deepen puddles with its feet and horns. The wallowing behavior helps the rhino maintain its body temperature and protect its skin from ectoparasites and other insects. The American lesser rhinoceroses are mostly browser and feeds on fruit, especially apples, mangoes and figs, leaves, twigs and bark. Sometimes the animal will venture into cultivated areas to eat crops. Despite its large size, the American lesser rhinoceros' only real predators such as grizzly bears, hyenas and tigers that will prey on the American lesser rhino calves and weak individuals, although few predators such as jaguars, cougars, coyotes, wolves or dholes are known to prey upon calves that are vulnerable. The conservation status of the American lesser rhinoceros is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American lesser rhinoceros's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
