Barbatodon (SciiFii)

The common Hațeg shrew (Barbatodon europeansis) 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, Barbatodon transylvanicum, 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 common Hațeg shrew can grow to be 6 inches (15 centimeters) in length from the nose to the base of the tail and weighs 75 to 230 grams (2.6 to 8.1 oz), depending on the subpopulation. The common 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 common Hațeg shrew has red, iron-pigmented enamel. The common Hațeg shrew is mainly nocturnal and terrestrial, with some arboreal exploration and nesting. Outside of mating, it is usually solitary. Like marsupials, the common 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 common Hațeg shrew is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the common Hațeg shrew's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
