Biosphere Alpha - Koroa Dropa

Hi guys,

starting my next series of extraterrestrial pics. This time i'll show you the biospheres of habital planets in the milky way.

I've already explained everything about the desert planet Koroa Dropa and it's intelligent race here: [link]

So, let's say something about the creatures!

Inaki - the top predator of Koroa Dropa. It's a canyon-dweller which allures its prey by pheromones. It shoots its sting into the prey and exhausts it. Thats possible cause all creatures of the planet have a higher water concentration in their body and are delimited from the high temperatures by a thick exo-skeleton. So, it's like exhausting a coconut with jelly milk inside. Delicious! BTW this creature seems to be bigger than it is - the canyon is quite small and at the beginning of it's emergence. Another pic of the Inaki you can see here: [link]

Joa - a succesful desert plant. It filters water steam from the morning air by a sponge-like structure at it's bottom. This structure is quite similar to the bottom of a coral and consists of almost dead material. Only a few water cores connect it with the round plant body at the top.

Morym - another desert plant. Very nutritious and important for the natives. Only findable at little lakes or subterranean springs. The native Dropa have raised them, so they became the major food source.

Zakata - a small scavanger and a relative of the Inaki. It fills the niche of vultures and hyenas, but can although catch prey on it's own with it's poisonous sting.

Hoanok - a really big animal and the favourite prey of the Inaki. The Hoanok browses through the desert sand and filters all kind of little creatures, microorganisms and water drops which live in the upper layers of the sand.

Joaki - a smaller relative of the Hoanok. To protect itself against the attacks of Inaki and Zakata it has evolved a round green body structure - so it mimes perfectly the bulb of a Joa-tree. A really neat example for mimicry.

That's it for this week. Hope you like biosphere alpha! It's a long way to go now - 14 other biospheres remain.

So, my favourite this time is the Hoanok. Which one do you prefer? Keep on watching, please comment and see you next week on Biosphere Beta!!
