Crocolphin (SciiFii)

The crocophin (Enantioterracetus crocodili) is a species of amphibious freshwater cetacean that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the subtropical and temperate forests of the Azores archipelago to help boost biodiversity. It is most closely related to both fully terrestrial terraphins and the bottlenose dolphins. The crocolphin largely resembles a river dolphin in appearance and build, but is not blind and can see well on both land and in water, and has strong, mobile front flippers to help it drag its body onto land to rest and to breed, very much like (most) pinnipeds and unlike most modern-styled whales. The crocolphin is fully carnivorous and feeds almost exclusively on fish, crustaceans, and mollusks, filling the similar ecological niche to the gharials. The crocolphin 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 crocolphin is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the crocolphin's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
