Routing where one of parameter values is part of URL path

I am confused with routing in Asp.Net core 1 and I need help. In startup.cs I have this configuration 

app.UseMvc(routes =>
{
    routes.MapRoute(
        name: "default",
        template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");      
});

I have created a controller 'Entities' and a method 'Get'

[Authorize]
public class EntitiesController : Controller
{                    
    [Produces("text/html")]
    public string Get(string entity, string type)
    {            
        return "<html><body>test</body></html>";
    }

}

So, when I text in url link like below works

http://localhost:12895/Entities/Get?entity=entity&type=type

and function called with params.

But I want to change this url and keep same functionality. I want my url become 

http://localhost:12895/Entities/entity?type=type

so, only type will be parameter and the name of entity will change for example

http://localhost:12895/Entities/human?type=type

http://localhost:12895/Entities/dog?type=type

but invoke the same function.

Is this possible?

There's full info about .net core routings.

Yes. It is possible. Add an additional route in app.UseMvc for your class.

It should looks like a 

app.UseMvc(routes =>
{
    routes.MapRoute(
        name: "default",
        template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}"
    );      


    routes.MapRoute(
        name: "entities",
        template: "Entities/{entity}",
        defaults: new { controller = "Entities", action = "Get"}
    );
});
