User:Eubabong Trust

The Eubabong Trust is a charitable organisation, concerned with the protection of the eponymous species; the Eubabong. They work to raise awareness for the creature, and do what they can to help and care for them when they find them. This is made difficult however, because Eubabongs are only very, very rarely seen [in fact there are but few who have been able to come by one].

Eubabong
A eubabong is a furred marsupial that is typically found living in the dense undergrowth of tropical areas, such as south american rain forests. They are small [about 1 to 1 1/2 foot long] with thick fur that hangs down their sides, the color of the rain forest floor [dark brown]. The females have a tail*, which is made of a solid, thick skin, like an elephant's trunk. Usually their tail is rolled up in a spiral behind them, but when engaging in fights with other females or when mating, their tails uncoil.

Unlike most animals in nature, it is the female eubabong which is more dominant. Eubabongs are solitary creatures, typically avoiding all interaction with others, but when the female comes into mating season [approximately once every three to four years], she seeks out a partner. Because there are so few males, females often fight over a mate, because the male eubabong has a significantly shorter life span than the female.

Eubabongs live off a diet of small plants and grasses that grow on the ground of the rain forest - this is the reason they are endangered, because not much can grow beneath the canopy of the forest, and the few plants that do are usually eaten by a different species before the eubabong gets to it [they have a poor sense of smell, and due to their short, stump-like legs, are very slow when moving].


 * Males also have tails, but they usually die before it grows to an easily visible length.

The Trust
The Eubabong Trust is a small organisation of people living in and around the south american tropics, who are aware of the eubabong's diar state and what to do if they encounter one - they must be treated with immense care [especially the males] because they are very nervous, easily scared creatures.

The eubaclub is a group of people ready to show their interest in the protection of the species.
