Smili - A species by Spotty - Posting open -

[Spotty]

There are four new smili, two that I donate for this round and two that might go next round^^.

The bottem one is epic!! I have to go for him, I swore I would never apply at TaN again but darn I am going to have to.

Spotty with boars unnual tusk would she have a bit of trouble killing her prey in the usual fashion?

[wibeke]

I'm not Spotty, but I was watching something on boars the other night and figured I might as well answer.
I doubt it would make a huge difference. If you look at a boar's mouth, these tusks are huge and pointed. If you get one of them angry at you for any reason, they'll tear you apart.
Though boars aren't carnivores (they're omnivores and would rather scavenge), they certainly have no problem bringing down prey with those tusks.

Thanks Wibeke ^.^

Yes, I doubth that the killing part will be very different for the boar, it's likely to develop an own slashing technique that works with it's unique set of fangs. However there might be other problems assosiated with the teeth, perhaps it hurts. Perhaps it will have social problems if other smili find it funny looking.

This reminds me of TJ09's reason why, on DC, two-headed dragons can't breed with any other breed. xD It might think one head is funny. /offtopic

Perhaps also, if it uses the stabbing technique that modern predators with long canines usually use, it has to be more careful with its bite, since the lower jaw is much more easily broken than the maxilla? It can't, for example, bite through particularly hard bones, perhaps, because the pressure required could snap the jaw or teeth?

Or am I completely wrong, and should go to bed? xD

[Spotty]

That does sound very likely 3B, I also thought that they vere likely to be malfunctious, but I wasn't sure how^^.

And here are some colourswabs for the wasp smili if anyone needs:

[EarthStar]

I like the bottem one, will definatley go for that one when it's donated. The orange ones pretty two.
