Rolling Flune: Difference between revisions

Individuals live for 7 years, reaching sexual maturity at 2 year. Because their eggs could easily die in the cold climate, their reproduction has changed from their ancestor. Males and females mate by locking themselves together. After they mate, the female lays her clutch of 10-20 eggs in a special indentation in the back of the male's shell. The male then carries the eggs for about 3 weeks, the babies will let their father know its hatching time by vibrating (while they can't hear, they can feel vibrations). Babies are born independent of their parents, however their shells are to small and too weak to protect themselves. Thus the young will burrow just under the soil, feeding on whatever scraps they can find. They will also eat minerals (sand, small rock, etc.), not for nutrition but to help build a stronger shell.
