Beachcomber (SciiFii)

The beachcomber (Masiakatherium avipodus) is a species of small, cat-sized, Leptictidium-like bipedal afrothere mammal that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the world's shorelines to help boost biodiversity. The beachcomber is a carnivore that feeds primarily on worms, razor clams, and other invertebrates that live underneath the sand, using its long, tubular, anteater-like mouth to locate and extract its prey from below its feet. It is a strong swimmer and uses its flat, webbed feet for swimming, and can swim for many miles away from the coast, which explains why beachcombers are widespread. It is a solitary animal that lives in most of its entire life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the beachcomber is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the beachcomber's wide range and its tolerance to most of human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the coastal cities and suburbs.
