Tetrasmilus (SciiFii)

The double-fanged cat (Tetrasmilus americanus), also known as the four-fanged cat, is a species of homotherinine macahirodontine sabre-toothed cat that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, and open woodlands across Central and South America to help boost biodiversity. The double-fanged cat is peculiar for having four sabre-teeth, hence its name, with the lower canine teeth creating a sabre-like form. This unusual dentition is used to increase the effecitveness of the wounding area, slashing the flesh of prey faster and puncturing more blood vessels, leading to more severe hemorrhages. However, the presence of a pair of sabre-teeth in the lower jaw implies that not much pressure is being put on them, and it hunts mostly slow prey that it can easily take down. Its build is also responsible of a crescent specialization on these slower prey. The double-fanged cat is a solitary animal that prefers to spend throughout most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the double-fanged cat is Near Threatened due to some habitat loss and historic poaching, however, thanks to the conservationists, the double-fanged cat is a protected species and is making a comeback.
