Falkland Islands wolf (SciiFii)

The Falkland Islands wolf (Dusicyon australis), also known as the warrah and occasionally as the Falkland Islands dog, Falkland Islands fox, warrah fox, or Antarctic wolf, is a species of canid and the only native land mammal of the Falkland Islands. The Falkland Islands wolf was once extinct since 1876, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to the Falkland Island to help boost biodiversity. Despite its appearance, size, and behavior, the Falkland Islands wolf is most closely related to the maned wolf. Its fur has a tawny colour and the tip of the tail is white. It is almost entirely carnivorous, feeding primarily on ground-nesting birds, such as geese and penguins, seal pups, and insects, and is well known to scavenge on whale and shark carrion on the seashores. The Falkland Islands wolf is known to sometimes live in burrows made by other animals or make its own burrow. The conservation status of the Falkland Islands wolf is Vulnerable due to some habitat loss and historic poaching, however, thanks to the conservationists, the Falkland Islands wolf is a protected species and is making a comeback.
