Nandi bear (SciiFii)

The nandi bear (Carnodontotherium ursa), also known as the carnivorous graver, is a species of chalicothere that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across Africa to help boost biodiversity. The nandi bear is a rather large animal, growing to be about the size of a large brown bear. Unlike other chalicotheres, the nandi bear is a carnivore and feeds primarily on smaller animals and carrion of other animals. It is known to scare off lions, hyenas, and many other predators from their kills and use its sharp claws to swipe at any predators that don't back down. The nandi bear is either a solitary animal that prefers to live alone or a social animal that lives in small packs of up to about 7 at a time, depending on a population, food quality and/or quantity. The conservation status of the nandi bear is Near Threatened due to some habitat loss and historic poaching, however, thanks to the conservationists, the nandi bear is a protected species.
