= Snem = The snem (Frigus Homine) is a cold blooded mammal, that derived from the species of humans. (Homo Sapiens).

= Etymology = The snem (Frigus Homine) owes its Dutch name to "mens", this work is reversed to create the name of the snem. 'Mens' means human. It is a bipedal primate from the Hominidae family. Frigus homine, the Latin name of snem. Frigus means cold and homine means human. Which indicates that the snem is a coldblooded creature.

= Anatomy = Snems have kidneys, lungs, a spleen, a liver, a small intestine and a colon. Their anatomy looks quite like a humans (homosapien) anatomy. Smens are coldblooded which means that their body and blood temperature are the same temperature as their surroundings. Because of this feature, snems will sweat less then humans do.

Trachea
Their trachea has a lot of slime and hairs on the inside. This is because of all the harmful substances in the air, like smog. This smog can have fatal effects when inhaled, that’s why snems have lots of slime and hairs on the inside of their trachea. The smog lingers in the hair or gets attached to the slime, which means that the smog doesn’t get to the lungs. When there is too much smog in the trachea, the snem will cough it up.

= Way of Life = The snem is a cold blooded mammal. Because of the global warming, the temperatures on earth are a bit higher, than what we are used to now. Because of the higher temperatures, the snem can work the whole year. Now mammals can’t work really well when it’s very cold, but because of the global warming, it will not be so cold anymore.

The snem lives in a house, that’s very important. In the house, you can make the temperatures high enough, so you can do all your jobs without a problem. When they want to sleep, they don’t need a blanket or heating installation and that’s way better for the environment.

The snem is cold blooded, so they don’t need a lot of energy, because they don’t have to keep themselves warm. Therefore smens don't eat a lot of food.

Characteristics
Because of the increasing level of greenhouse gasses, the temperature on earth got warmer. And the extremes of the climates got more extreme. One of the main consequences of the earth warming up, is that the sea levels are rising. The skin between the fingers and toes of the snem has grown over the years until it formed a sort of flippers. With these flippers they can swim faster than their ancestors. This is very useful because with the higher water levels, the fishes and other sea creatures can reach more places. That also means that there is more risk when swimming with the sea predators everywhere. With their new flippers, they can flee from their predators.

The snem is a cold blooded species. The ancestor of the snem called humans, were warm blooded. Through evolution this characteristic changed. Because of the greenhouse effect, the earth warmed up. Because the temperatures got higher and climates changed drastically, it got harder to grow food. Crops would fail more often and humans were constantly hot. Through evolution, the humans adapted to these changes. Cold blooded species profited of the warmer climates because they depend on warmth and the heat of the sun for their energy. The Snem is cold blooded. Because of this adaptation, the food production could go down because the Snem did not rely on food to get energy anymore. With a warmer climate, the Snem gets energy a lot of the time.

The snem is a pretty big species. Because they are cold blooded and don’t have to use food as fuel for their body, they now use their food mainly as building materials for their body. Because they use so much of their food for growth, snems grow pretty big.

The increasing levels of smog on earth increased, and polluted the world more and more. The ancestors of the snem, humans, began to breathe in more smog. This was very bad for them because the effectiveness of their lungs would drastically decline. Their system to get rid of dust and waste in their lungs was made up of slime and cilia that covered the trachea. Dust particles would stick to the slime, and the cilia would move the slime upwards to the throat. When the slime with the waste reached your throat you would cough it up or you would swallow it and it would get digested. Because there was so much smog and pollution, the lungs could not handle the smog anymore so over the years the snem got more and more slime and cilia to get rid of the waste in their lungs.

Behavior
Snems are very social creatures. Most of the time they live together with each other in a group. However, snems can be very territorial. When they have or want land, they won’t give it up easily. Compared to other species, snems are fairly smart. They build big communities where they live together.

When it’s warm, the snem spends a lot of time outside. They do this to warm up their body and produce energy. In winter, the temperature is a lot lower compared to the other seasons. During this season, the snems are not very productive. They don’t work or don’t go to school during winter. Their energy levels are pretty low during this season. Houses are warm enough to keep them productive inside their homes, but outside they can’t do a lot.

= Food = The snem is an omnivore. That means that it eats both meat and vegetables. However, it does not eat a lot of meat, because for the meat the breeding of animals is very bad for the earth, because in the process there’s a lot of CO2 emissions. But eating absolutely no meat is bad as well, that's why the snem still eat a bit of it. It also doesn’t need as much, because the snem is cold blooded, that means that it doesn’t need food to keep itself warm. So when they eat less, it’s good enough.

Further, the snem eats mostly plants, vegetables and fruit. Because it’s healthy and vitamins and minerals are in it. when they combine the meat and the vegetables and fruit they have all the important nutrients they need to live.

= Habitat = The snem lives in all continents of the world. The snems feel most comfortable on land and have a home there. Snems can move fast in water because the snem has flippers, but still it’s a land creature. In it’s home the snems feel save and they use their houses to warm up themselves. When the sun shines, the snems will use the heat of the sun to warm up, because they are cold blooded they will take any chance to warm up in the sunlight.

= Reproduction = The way of reproduction of the snems has many similarities with humans. The snem is viviparous, this means that a baby grows in a mature snem. Generally takes a pregnancy around 40 weeks (9 months). Usually grows one baby and twins or multiple births are exceptional. In case of a good birth, mind the front part. The snem's main power source is in the first months breastmilk.

The development of the snem goes in the first months faster than the development of a human. After a few months the snem is able to walk, and after an average of one and a half years the snem is able to speak, after that the development of a snem comes slowly along with the development of a human child. The reason for faster development in the first months is a stronger skull from birth. As a result, less constant attendance is needed and it develops faster then a human.
