Journal entry date 11.27.2311 This new species, which we fondly call the skunk cat (feteo beatitas Holdenii), was discovered quite unintentionally by our colleague Dr. Farnic Holden. As he relates to us (from a fair distance), he was gathering specimens from a fly trap thicket when the skunk cat suddenly emerged. Being startled, the skunk cat immediately rolled into a ball, leaving just its tail protruding. As Dr. Holden approached, the skunk cat flicked its tail with some force, causing several short streams of a noxious liquid to emerge from the glans in the tail and land on Dr. Holden's skin and clothing. The odor from this liquid was so strong, it caused Dr. Holden to leave the area immediately, eyes tearing and stomach churning. We have yet to find a neutralizing agent for the liquid and so, Dr. Holden continues to be...umm...unacceptable company. (181 days ago)

VERY good job with this - I love that you actually DID something with the spider other than just place it somewhere. Extra critters and leaves are cool, too. Great story. Reply »
