Description Specimens

Hi-diddledi-ho!

After we have discovered the first four biospheres of the Milky Way I thought it would be cool to show you some specimens of this little excursion! The whole idea was inspired by some awesome “bottled”-pics by *emla. See her wonderful gallery here: [link]

To conserve the little critters I choose some old-style bottles, cause I really like that look! Maybe it would have been more plausible to put the creatures in more modern bottles, but … there’s no way to escape for them!

Kanakri – this weird-looking desert-dweller was found on Koroa Dropa, aka biosphere alpha. It looks like a mix of plant, mushroom and animal, but in fact it’s just an animal with plant characteristics - which it uses for mimicry. Maybe it although looks a little like a virus, that’s the most fascinating feature of the Kanakri. We can win great information about living in extreme regions from this awesome being.

Hokarakol – a small scavenger found on Hiomgorro, aka biosphere delta. It produces a red, poisonous gas to protect itself against bigger predators. This gas seems to be a great medicament against cancer – how it works is not completely discovered.

Ijanorad –I discovered this creepy being in a gigantic cave in the dark zone of Kwiares, aka biosphere gamma. After I captured it, I didn’t give it any food for ten days, it survived. It although survived fifty, a hundred and even five hundred days without food – still moving aggressive and quickly. I still haven’t found what keeps it alive, but it could change our imagination of life!

Onno – the most stunning species of this compilation. It’s a mushroom, or better a slime-mold. It was found on Slajatelan, aka biosphere beta. A little mass of this mold can produce huge seeds, which although feature plant characteristics. It’s fast, highly evolvable and hungry for new niches! Help us! It flee out of its bottle and captured my laboratory . . . oh, wait . . . it’s here . . . on my hand. . . oh my . . . aaaarrgh!!!

Ah this is so cool! And now I finally have time to comment on it haha!

Hokarakol is incredibly cool in that it's unique. I have quite a few times that in the future Humankind will travel to other planets to mine resources, but the idea that you can find animal and plants that are beneficial to humans too has been relatively untouched. Probably because in reality, extraterrestrial life is speculative... but anyways I would compare it going to a rainforest and finding plants that are beneficial to medicine.

Your description of Onno is amazing. You pull off the mad scientist act very well. Too well.....

This makes me want to do my own parody of specimens stuck in a bottle. Haha.

hahaha, most of the reason why i don't comment is that your posting too much, hehe. well, care to have another conversation? i came up with an interesting idea and would like to know what you think

i'm thinking about if life could be possible in a binary system. not 2 suns, i mean 2 earths sharing the same gravitational point! spining around one another!

MickMcDee In reply to THesla [2011-07-19 14:20:48 +0000 UTC]

hey, a few weeks ago I had the same idea!
dont know if thats possible, maybe rip each other off cause of the gravitation ... hm, what do you mean?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

THesla In reply to MickMcDee [2011-07-19 16:44:15 +0000 UTC]

i think it could be possible if the 2 of them shared a same gravitation centre, so they will always show the same face at one another

MickMcDee In reply to THesla [2011-07-21 05:49:59 +0000 UTC]

exactly, but woulnd't that cause deadly enviroments at the face-to-face-sides? maybe the back of the planets would be habital?

i don't know... i'm thinking as hard as i can, but my ignorance is keeping me from figuring out what causes the harsh environment... feel like i have a lot to learn

hahaha, hey, i guess those istakes are light, at least compared to the mistakes made in big productions such as Star Wars. The wolrd is full of slow light beams, unreal sized spaceships, fire in vacuum, horizon in the space, and muuuuuch more, so a binary system is pretty much forgivable i say

How you described the Onno-fungus, it would certainly find its nich in a horror movie.

did that on purpose!

RawrReaper [2011-07-11 03:17:19 +0000 UTC]

the Onno is quite a specimen! i think you should have 'bottled' it in case it excreted any poison from its biosphere. for the ijanorad it might be eating the glass from the bottle. it looks like a cookie jar! and my biggest question; how big are these bottles? i love the red gas seeping out of the bottle from the Hokarakol

MickMcDee In reply to RawrReaper [2011-07-15 22:05:59 +0000 UTC]

these bottles are normal big, means not more than 10 litres.
the ijanorad eating glas? thats not a bad idea!
and yes, i should have bottled the onno . . .

RawrReaper In reply to MickMcDee [2011-07-16 07:35:10 +0000 UTC]

ah that big. it was just a theory, but you could have noticed it eating the glass. have you seen the day the earth stood still? the virus incects eating and multiplying rapidly.

well, not every remake sucks, but the most . . . i hated the new planet of the apes!

oh my god i hate planet of the apes! seriously it took 2 canisters for 10 apes to fully traverse there brain cells. plus this would be a short movie if the humans acturlly made good use of their guns. and they also evolved! in 3 days! its blasmephy!

I personally like the kanakri, because the onno makes the fungi I know look like lazy-butts.
