My entry of the Creature Of the Week contest...this weeks theme was cave digger.
So I present....Shellfort The Shellfort is one of the endangered spieces and also amongst one of the oldest creatuses on Earth. It has an odd round body, which is covered with a large multilayered shell made out of chitin. The little creature feeds mainly on plants, but it can eat anything that fits under its belly. It has about 400 legs underneath its stomach designed for movement, but which are also used for grabbing it food and digging. The Shellfort digs mainly straight down by using its many feet as miniature spades. It can also dig straight foward using the chitine plates on its forehead as a pickaxe, but that method is fairly slow. Shellfort doesn't have any natural enemies due to its ability to survive even when an elephant steps on it, but it will die when flipped over since it is unable to flip over again. MeMB: "It looks more like a hovercraft to me." XD |
