The South-Arcadian Civet is a small, nocturnal mammal related to the common Arcadian Civet. Unlike its forest-dwelling cousin, this critter inhabits more open areas, specifically places where the forest meets the open grasslands. It spends most of the day hidden among the trees where it sleeps in relative safety. At night, it ventures out into the grasslands in search of various small morsels to eat (from mushrooms and fallen fruit to small rodents, reptiles, insects, and eggs).
By comparing it to the forest-dwelling Arcadian Civet, scholars have deduced that this is an example of a transitionary species; an animal that is slowly adapting to a new environment in preparation for a future expansion.
