Another assignment

So this crazy assignment was to write a descriptive paragraph about a species of animal that you just discovered. Here goes mine:

The hyenaroo was recently discovered off the coast of New Zealand on an island that is home to some rare insects and a few rodents. The hyenaroo is the first large mammal discovered on the island. This female hyenaroo has the upper body of a hyena; it has hideously striped brown and black fur that reeks of dead carcasses. The creature does, however, spend much of its time hopping on its rear legs like a kangaroo. The hind legs are powerful, allowing the animal to leap as far as 20 feet at a time. The pouch on its underbelly is spacious enough for 3 cubs. Zoologists fear that this mammal was created in a test tube by an evil scientist from the Japanesse city of Tokyo.
