Litovoi (SciiFii)

The dome-headed Hațeg shrew (Litovoi macrocephala) is a species of multituberculate mammal, despite its name, that originally lived in the original Hațeg Island during the Late Cretaceous period as an extinct species, Litovoi tholocephalos, and the genus itself was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern day Hațeg Island to help boost biodiversity and recreate the lost world and ecology of the island. As an average-sized multituberculate, the dome-headed Hațeg shrew can grow to be 12.75 to 18.25 centimeters (5.0 to 7.2 inches) long, not including a 15 to 22 centimeter (5.9 to 8.7 inch) tail, and weighs 75 to 230 grams (2.6 to 8.1 oz), depending on the subpopulation. The dome-headed Hațeg shrew is part of the family, Kogaionidae, and has a similar insectivorous lifestyle to iron-enamelled insectivores such as true shrews and kin, feeding on a wide range of insects, spiders, mollusks, and other terrestrial invertebrates. Like some rodents and true shrews, the dome-headed Hațeg shrew has red, iron-pigmented enamel. The dome-headed Hațeg shrew has one of the smallest brains in proportion to body size of any derived mammal. Additionally, it bares a small dome in its head, hence its name, but it is also highly specialized for processing sensory input, with relatively enormous regions with great sense of smell, eyesight, balance, and motor control. The olfactory bulbs of its brain are so enlarged, in fact, that they cause its skull to bulge out into an unusually dome-shaped forehead. The dome-headed Hațeg shrew is mainly nocturnal and terrestrial, with some arboreal exploration and nesting. Outside of mating, it is usually solitary. Like marsupials, the dome-headed Hațeg shrew gives birth to tiny helpless, underdeveloped young, which the mothers care for in their burrows or dens for prolonged periods. The conservation status of the dome-headed Hațeg shrew is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the dome-headed Hațeg shrew's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
