Biology Class: Grub-Dogs!
This isn't Zoology, however it seems going over some bits of it has been helping keep you all interested. We've already went over cells and DNA, might as well try to take today's session with more creature analyzes. Just be glad I haven't felt like getting into a lengthy technical lecture!
This will approximately take two classes to cover fully but I'm going to go over yet another fascinating species that those stuck up textbook writers refuse to mention in any Biology covering animals!
I would like to call this family the Grub-Dog family. Why? Well the "Grub" comes from their resemblance to grubs. The "Dog" came from the fact it looks like my dog... (<- OOC: It's true he has a dog according to one of his logs and that's where the name 'Bulborb' comes from, apparently it's name is Bulby. Why is beyond me.)
The most common of the Grub-Dog family would be Bulborbs. While all Bulborbs are Grub-Dogs not all Grub-Dogs are Bulborbs! I'm afraid all are far too big and dangerous to get a hold of, instead I'll just have to draw them. Sorry...
This would be probably THE most common Bulborb. The Oculus kageyamii russus!...or the Red Bulborb...Doesn't sound as impressive when put like that though...
Bare with me, the black marker for the white board is all out of ink and this red one's going to die on me almost anytime now...
ANYWAYS, the Red Bulborb shares many common traits of a Grub-Dog, from the bugged eyes to the abnormally large cranium. They are primarily nocturnal and prey on small animals returning to their nests, so they spend most of the day sleeping. However they will easily wake up anything they sense prey within a reasonable distance. If you haven't guessed already their main diet is sadly...Pikmin but alas, it's the all apart of the food chain. Also please take note that Dwarf Bulborbs are NOT offspring. Bulborb larvae look much different, having no patterns on their backs that usually make Grub-Dogs so distinct.
Pardon my questionable drawing skills. Art is not my major. (Though it's nice to brag and not have to be all "Well I'm no artist..." and reply on stick figures!)
The Oculus kageyamii folliculus, or Hairy Bulborb really isn't much different in behavior to that of a Red Bulborb. You can't tell by this drawing but unlike the Red Bulborb, they are white with blue spots. They are also covered in fur and adapt very well to colder climates. Their hair is very frail despite the ability to warm their internal organs. When they die they lose all their fur.
I want to cover one more Bulborb today but before I go on, are there any questions?
On an unrelated note, I brought in that red Pikmin you requested Yoshi, it's not the one from last class though that I had to take home...for some reason it just won't part paths. Quite peculiar...Well it's a red Pikmin and I'm sure you'll take good care of it!
