| T l Guitar ♥ l l Bed Police l S Excellent everyone! The lifespan tends to be around 5 years, but can be more, or considerably less due to irate farmers...
The Dugbog has very sharp teath and little finned feet that allow it to move so efficiently through the marshland. Though as stated, when stationary, they resemble a piece of dead wood. They have adapted to their environment extremely well, having one of the best natural camoflauge in the animal kingdom.
Ok, this next creature will be pretty instantly recognised I think... Moving to the tank again, she performs the steps and once again rips off the cover. Inside is a magnificently coloured animal resembling a tortoise.
Righto, what's this one? |

Nadia shoot up in the air before you could say Halloween -- "It's a firecrab, professor!" she said, a bit too enthusiastically.

Lily glanced at her notes and hesitantly raised her hand. "Well...they live on the coast of Fiji, and they have a bit of the coastline there that's like, um...its a reservation so they can be protected from wizards and muggles who sometimes want to use their shells."

Hogwarts RPG Name: Mari Elizabeth Allen Fourth Year | Mari looked around. All the class was quite interested in the lesson. She herself had to admit it, it wasn't a bad class. After taking enough notes she raised her hand and asked "Porffesor, do they only live there or can they be found in other parts of the world?" |

No, they don't. Quote:

Good deatil, 2 points. Quote:

No, they only live on the island of Fiji. Though they have been know to show up on the black market in other countries after a witch or wizard has smuggled them out. This is very illegal though so they are immediately seized and the perp. fined. They are however legally exported as pets, but you require a licence to keep one and must buy it through an authorised dealer. Quote:

Good question! 2 points. Can anyone answer that one?

Drusilla raises her hand. "I believe it´s because the shells are so beautiful, like they were covered with jewelry, and people want to make all kinds of beautiful things from them, like bowls and so on."

"They are used as magical cauldrons!" Drusilla states. "Because they´re so enduring."

| T l Guitar ♥ l l Bed Police l S That's right, it is cauldrons! 2 points. And yes, it is because the shell is incredibly hard, and also so beautiful and ornimental.
What M.O.M rating do they have? |

Ali heard a Ravenclaw ask what does XXX mean so he thought he would save the Professor the hasltle of answering it.
Looking at Lily,Ali told her that an XXX rating means that a Competent wizard should be able to cope.

| JayMay ♥ Big, yellow duckie <3 Jessica took notes once more as Professor Dainsie told them about firecrabs. She was really interested; she had decided that Care of Magical Creatures was her favourite subject. Keenly, she scribbled down the new piece of information and leaned back in her chair.

Pacilla listened intently at everything being said, taking a few notes while doing so. She wished she could have been quicker to answer some of the previous questions because their house needed lots more points. She listened and hoped she'd be able to get the answer to the next question.

Kalaya really wanted to answer a question, but she didn't know the answers to most, and the ones she did know she was to slow to answer. According to the Hufflepuff Herald Hufflepuff was in last place! Sighing, Kalaya continued writing down notes.

Kristal heard another girl ask what XXX rating was, so she decided to look smart and answer. "The fire crab's M.O.M. classification is XXX. That means that only a competent wizard should cope with this creature." Kristal was very proud that she finally knew an answer and greatly hoped she would recieve points.

Now the most important feature of the fire crab, is its amazing defence mechanism. Does anyone know what that is? |

Alex glanced down at her book and her hand shot up in the air. "It shoots flames from it's rear end when it is attacked."
