Chriacus (SciiFii)

The banded lemonk (Chriacus pelvidens) is a species of arctocyonid condylarth that originally lived from the paleocene of North America (66-57 mya) and was formerly extinct, but was brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout North America to help boost biodiversity. The banded lemonk is a rather small animal that can grow to be about 3.3 feet (1 meter) long, including its tail, and weigh around 7 kg (15 lb). The banded lemonk has many adaptations typical of animals that live in trees, including walking on the soles of its five-toed feet, and having long, curved, compressed claws. The powerfully built limbs have flexible joints, especially the ankles, an adaptation that allows an animal to turn its hind feet behind it, like tree squirrels, in order to climb downward. The banded lemonks behave like raccoons, being a generalist omnivore that mainly feeds on fruit, eggs, insects and small mammals, and in cities and suburbs, it often eat leftovers from garbage cans, often leaving behind a mess and making citizen's homes smelly. The banded lemonk is classified as Vunerable by the IUCN due to large amounts of culling and pesticides poisoning their food. However, Conservationists are attempting to protect the species and stop the culling.
