"They seem very much alike our Dugbog friends here, aswell as bowtruckles..." Which could be a bit tricky. Or not.
"So how will you all be able to see the difference?" Maya positioned herself in the middle of the two tanks. With a flick of her wand, she cast obscuro over everyone - making a blindfold cover the eyes of each student momentarily. Maya needed to change the positions of the tanks.
Flicking her wand again, the blindfolds dissapeared. "Allright. The dugbogs and walking sticks have changed places. I need you to tell me what creature is where." And the trick is? "Grab a creature, carefully because they bite, and tell me if it's a dugbog or walking stick. Please wear your protective gloves. If you have none, you can borrow these." A basket full of gloves appeared by her feet."I assume you know what characterises the dugbog, so this should be easy for you."
"Well, let's go!" Don't be lazy, children!
OOC: Have your character approach the vivarium, pick up a creature and let Maya know what kind of creature it is and how you came to that conclusion. Feel free to get attacked by a dugbog (or walking stick) - BUT remember the dugbogs are babies, they can't harm you brutally. Anyone RPing in a gruesome way will be subject to pointloss/detention. Aaaaaaaaaaaaand be creative! =D
Alice had to admit, she was a little nervous about picking them up, protective gloves or not. She didn't really have an option though, so Alice slid on her protective gloves, walked over to the tank on the right, and gently reached her hand in.
Alice was paranoid about being bit but she figured if she could get the little creature in the right position it wouldn't be capable of biting her. Alice wrapped her hand around the creature, under it's armpits since she wasn't sure what they considered the area under the arms to be on this creature, and held it far enough away that it couldn't get at her face, but close enough that she could observe it.
To be honest the creature didn't seen phased. It merely stared at her with a bored expression and Alice couldn't help but smile. It was kind of cute. Alice smiled even wider when the creature wrapped both of its hands around her fingers. Although wait...was it about to bite her?
"Hey, now, don't you bite me," she said eyeing the stick in a threatening manner.
The creature merely stared at her with that whatever expression, and used it's hand to push itself up a little bit. Apparently where Alice had grabbed him was not very comfortable.
"Oh, sorry," Alice said apologetically, sliding her hand down its body a little ways.
"Professor I think this might be a walking stick, due to its calm demeanor, and well..." Alice leaned into to look at its mouth.
"Its teeth aren't sharp like the Dugbog."
