Raccolphin (SciiFii)

The raccolphin (Procyonidelphis frodoi), also known as the raccoon terraphin, is a species of fully terrestrial cetacean that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the subtropical and temperate forests of the Azores archipelago to help boost biodiversity. It was difficult to create due to its "third leg", which is actually its modified tail, however, SciiFii has successfully created this animal without any side effects (illnesses, etc). The raccolphin is a very small member of the terraphin family, only growing to be about the size of a very large opossum. The raccolphin is an omnivore that feeds on fruits, leaves, roots, tubers, bulbs, insects, carrion, and smaller vertebrates, filling the similar ecological niche to the mainland raccoons. It is nocturnal due to predation from megasquids, using its wiskers, rather than its melon, which is degenerated due to being a land animal, in order to find its way around in the dark. It is a solitary animal in most of its life except during breeding seasons, when males try to find females to mate with. The conservation status of the raccolphin in Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the raccolphin's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
