Black Nyemanguelio

Originate from Eastern Arrernte word: nyemale akngwelye, which means wolf rat. In Spanish was Nyémangüelio and in Scots Gaelic was Niemánh-bhàlio.

• Singular: Nyemanguelio

• Plural: Nyemanguelios

I changed the scientific name to Lupantechinus davidsonii in honor of Donald Herbert Davidson. This is because it takes into account Davidson's theory of action, which defines action as behavior brought on by an agent in a specific circumstance. The marsupial's peculiar behavior, which assesses the ecosystem and society's boundless potential, highlights the significance of comprehending and interpreting human behavior as a crucial component of the radical interpreter's goal.

The Black Nyemanguelio is a different appearance from the Gray Nyemanguelio, except for purely black fur and skin, even dark brown eyes. Black Nyemanguelio was the wolf-like antechinus that resembles Florida Black Wolf, an extinct species of canine related to grey wolf and coyote, even red wolf. As a result of convergent evolution of the placental mammal and metatherian mammal.

Like the thylacine, the Nyemanguelio had a very wide gape and a modest bite power (~130 Newtons), which was good for gripping prey but not for smashing bones. Like the wolf and thylacine, the Nyemanguelio's stamina was built for long chases and sprints. They have long, thick limbs that are perfect for short- to long-range hunting, just like wolves.

The Nyemanguelio was crepuscular, with good hearing, night vision, and an acute sense of smell for tracking. Because of their distinct colors, Nyemanguelios can blend in with both meadows and woodlands because to their incredibly stealthy coats. Like placental wolves, the Nyemanguelio lived in groups of six to ten, with the alpha male Nyemanguelio leading the group against the clans.

In contrast to certain antechinus wolf species, the Black Nyemanguelio uses its ayatana, or sixth senses, to create a dark aura in its jaws. This darkness is created upon touch or bite. In contrast to all other species in this group, the Black Nyemanguelio are born with black coloring, which is a term that refers to an excess of the pigment melanin and results in dark coloring. Because of their darker color, they are always invisible at night or in shadows and even act as natural camouflage to predators and prey. The sound of this species is different and less howling and more melodious calls.

All Nyemanguelio species are strictly omnivorous, feeding on small to medium-sized mammals like wallabies, possums, wombats, marmots, beavers, capybaras, pacas, alpacas, snakes, lizards, deer, sheep, goats, antelopes, and birds. They also occasionally scavenge berries to spread seeds when they drop their droppings.

Prior to the arrival of placentals and monotremes, all Nyemanguelio species played the role of meso-predators in the ecosystem, controlling the numbers of herbivores and smaller animals. In order to outcompete them, the early European settlers introduced both placentals and monotremes.

Reproduction

The timing of the breeding season differs between species and also with the location of populations. The breeding season is from July to September, moving to the south in late January through March. The Nyemanguelios are pregnant for about 70 days and usually birth one to five pups. Like their ancestors, they do not have a complete pouch as in other marsupials but simply a flap of skin covering the teats. Both older males and older females die off because of an increase in free corticosteroids in the blood from birth. Much like antechinuses, torpor is a periodic lowering of body temperature and metabolic rate to reduce energy consumption in their own dens.

Breeding season:

• Likely spring to autumn (July–September).

Gestation:

• Very short (~30–50 days, unlike other marsupials).

Litter size:

• Up 1 to 5 young, developing in the pouch for about 5 months.

Pouch life:

• After leaving the pouch, the young stayed in the den or followed the mother.

Parental care:

• Female provided all care.

• Reached sexual maturity at ~5 years.

Lifespan:

• Around 5–20 years in the wild; up to 35 in captivity.

Although they won't chase survivors directly, the Nyemanguelios will kill them if they come upon them. These marsupials still have predatory inclinations and can be unpredictable and dangerous. Because antechinus wolves are inherently fearful of humans, it is best to keep a respectful distance and never feed them to avoid disturbing them.

In the middle area of the Eastern Continent in Everrealm, the Black Nyemanguelio resided in dark forests that ranged from temperate deciduous forests to tropical rainforests. Long ago, the Sawintiran fairies introduced this species, which has since spread to nations with old-growth woods and abandoned structures.

Compared to St. Bernards, Labrador retrievers, coyotes, and goats, the Nyemanguelio was more suited for riding newborns and, like wolves, could be trained by being fed raw meat or raw fish provided by the survivor.
