The Cat Faced Two-Legged Humbug by Jennifer

The Cat Faced Two-Legged Humbug is a rare and endangered mammal. With under two thousand of these left in the Sri Lankan rainforest it’s life is changing and in danger.

The Cat Faced Two-Legged Humbug is the most intelligent,most creative creature there is in the rainforest. In fact its face is Cat-like with oval eyes and delicate ears,cat facial details. Its body all the way down to the waist is like a Dinosaur’s. With their sharp claws they can check if their prey is dead or is still alive.It digs with them too. The bottom part of it’s body is like a Tiger. To run fast they use their paws.

The Humbug can weigh about 5 kgs and is about 14 centimeters long when it is a baby. When its an adult it weighs double that!When the female has babies,they are born live. They are as green as the grass and scaly with wings.The mother should have up to sixteen babies at a time. The babies nest is made of bark and mud.The female has to rest on it plus push to get the babies out. However,the male doesn’t do anything but guards the babies when the mother goes hunting.

The Humbug eats animals that live under ground. Such as Worms and Moles. To drink they have to drink mud.It’s got protein to make hem fit and healthy.

To hunt and get food the Humbug uses it’s excellent hum. It can hear the slightest movement even from the quietest worm. To get their prey they dig with their Dinosaur-like claws.To help get the prey that they want the Humbug must hum to make them fall asleep.They then stand and squish them till their flesh comes out. After,the female eats her share and the rest of the family eat to get stronger and stronger. If the female doesn’t catch anything,then she and her family will starve.

The Cat Faced Two-Legged Humbug lives in the Sri Lankan rainforest.Among the leaves they take shelter and it’s their home for safety. They make sure the leaves have no harmful bacteria that will cause the babies to die.

The Cat Faced Two-Legged Humbug survives by using it’s feet.Their Tiger-like feet can run a mile in 400 mili seconds.That is the fastest animal in the rainforest. Native tribes in the rainforest feast on Humbugs to celebrate the rainforest’s anniversary. Luckily the Humbug can run really fast and avoid being caught.

The Humbug has two relatives.The Cow-spotted Quaver and the Ring-Necked Memble Fud. They are rare indeed.To communicate they meet in the exact middle of the rainforest.They all use sign language.Some scientists say that they don’t communicate that way,but they communicate by howling like a Wolf.

The Humbug runs fast to keep away from enimies and has about 16 babies at a time. The female has to make and do everything for her family.
