Marsupial hyena (SciiFii)

The marsupial hyena (Hyaenocephalus deinodonta) is a species of New World marsupial that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across South America to help boost biodiversity. The marsupial hyena is a rather large marsupial, growing on average to be about the size of an average-sized jaguar when fully grown. The marsupial hyena is a highly adaptable carnivore that can survive in a wide range of habitats, even in forest habitats half submerged in water, being just as capable of swimming as tigers and fishing cats of Asia. The marsupial hyena primarily feeds on crustaceans, mollusks, fish, frogs, eggs, small reptiles, birds, small-to-medium-sized mammals, and carrion, using its extremely strong hyena-like bone-crushing teeth and jaws to crush up objects as strong as a large pond turtle's shell, hence its name. The marsupial hyena is a solitary animal that spends throughout most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the marsupial hyena is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the marsupial hyena's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
