Japanese Dwarf Dylanus

Japanese dwarf dylanus (Dylanus Javanii) is a species of dwarf dylanus that is native throughout most of mainland Japan and many of the islands off the coasts of Japan. This species of dylanus was once thought to be extinct through habitat loss after the 1981 expedition failed to find any Japanese dwarf dylanus, but has since been rediscovered in 2012 to be still alive and the dylanus's population is recovering and they are starting to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs. These dylanuses have short coat of black hair with some white stripes on their sides and these dylanuses are among the smallest dylanuses alive today, alongside the British dwarf dylanus, about 3.9 feet tall, although the extinct Caribbean dwarf dylanus was even smaller. They are omnivores and mainly feed on fruits, vegetables, bulbs, roots, tubers, shoots, insects, spiders, scorpions, crustaceans, fish, frogs, small lizards, birds, eggs, smaller mammals, and carrion. This species is listed as Vulnerable through historical habitat loss, but they are recovering and their population is growing through conservation.
