South American cheetah (SciiFii)

The South American cheetah (Didelphofelis velocus), also known as the marsupial cheetah, is a species of cat-like New World marsupial that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across South America to help boost biodiversity. The South American cheetahs fill the similar ecological niche to the "true" cheetahs of Eurasia and Africa, as well as the American cheetahs of North America. Due to having shorter legs and a slightly thicker body, the South American cheetah does not run as fast as the "true" cheetahs or American cheetahs, however, it can run about as fast as 45-50 miles per hour, making it the fastest land marsupial. The South American cheetah is a pursuit predator that primarily hunts armadillos, agoutis, guanacos, domestic llamas, deer, small litopterns, small notoungulates, and marsupial ungulates. The South American cheetah is a solitary animal that spends throughout most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the South American cheetah is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the South American cheetah's wide range.
