Green 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

The first word was named after the same name for weakness. Other words include in the following: Emerald Nyemanguelio; Moss Nyemanguelio; Green Furred Nyemanguelio; Mossy Nyemanguelio; Lumut Anjing Tikus (in Malay); Asong Lumot (in Tagalog); or others.

The Green Nyemanguelio is a mysterious mammal that resembles a wolf and thylacine as a result of convergent evolution. This species had a different appearance, for it resembled a red wolf, except for white, ivory, grayish tan, and olive fur, a black nose, peach skin, and greenish gray eyes, which is very unique to this mammal. Some individuals of this species have natural moss or algae on their backs to attract small moths or spiders in their own natural micro-ecosystem, much like modern-day sloths.

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. But unlike coyotes, marsupials filled an ecological niche where large-group hunting was only permitted by the dominant male. However, they are better described as family-based groups rather than large packs of wolves. These antechinuses in the pack work together to find food, defend their territory, and care for the young.

The Green Nyemanguelio, unlike their relatives, possess sleep agents to drag the enemy into a coma, including grooved teeth and a possible pocket for sleep glands, suggesting it may have used sleep-inducing techniques to hunt prey. However, this remains a debated topic within the scientific community, with some experts proposing this is idiotic.

Similar to sloths, the Green Nyemanguelio has fur that is home to symbiotic green algae, which gives it a greenish hue that blends in with forest vegetation and helps protect it from enemies and predators. It can also be used as a tactical ambush against prey. While the antechinus-wolf benefits from concealment and potentially nutrients obtained through skin grooming, the algae get a moist, nutrient-rich home.

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.

Moths, fungi, and green algae (Trichophilus) are all supported by the Green Nyemanguelio's fur environment. The larvae of the moths, which deposit their eggs in sloth excrement, return to the sloth's fur and aid in fertilizing the algae. This creates a special three-part biological relationship: moths fertilize the algae, the marsupial mouse provides home, and the algae give the animal concealment (and maybe food).

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 three 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:

• Only summer (June–August).

Gestation:

• Very short (~28–45 days, unlike other marsupials).

Litter size:

• Up 1 to 3 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 ~4 years.

Lifespan:

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

In contrast to their cousins, the Green Nyemanguelio were adamant about knowing how to hunt the prey or enemy using their weaknesses. As the name suggests, this animal lived with its pack in order to mingle, protect their harems from the alpha male, and hunt down the prey or enemy using their vulnerability. 

Although they won't chase survivors directly, nyemanguelios will kill them if they come across them. The Nyemanguelios are much less likely to attack people than other large predators like bears or even moose, even though they must feed on enormous animals to survive. But occasionally, friends, enemies, and even pets may be harmed or threatened by Nyemanguelios. Due to their innate fear of humans, Nyemanguelios will only attack if they feel threatened or intimidated.

The Land of Oz, an archipelagic nation on Sawintir's southern Eastern Continent, including southern portions on mainland continent, were the homeland of the Green Nyemanguelio. This species was brought to countries with wooded regions by the Sawintiran fairies a long time ago.

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.
