Tripod dolphin (SciiFii)

The tripod dolphin (Tripododelphis perplexus) is a species of amphibious cetacean that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the subtropical and temperate forests, as well as coastlines of the Azores archipelago to help boost biodiversity. The closest living relatives of the tripod dolphins are the terraphins and bottlenose dolphins. The tripod dolphin resembles a bottlenose dolphin, but with its melon almost entirely degenerated due to spending much of its time on land, and its tail has been modified to act as a "third leg", making it move somewhat like a sea lion or a fur seal. The tripod dolphin only goes into the water to cool its body down on hot days, as well as to keep its skin moist, and to find its natural food sources. The tripod dolphin is fully carnivorous and feeds almost exclusively on fish and crustaceans. The tripod dolphin is a solitary animal and it prefers to spend throughout most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the tripod dolphin is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the tripod dolphin's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
