Sucker Bite - Tumblr Posts

pilcer, more commonly called a sucker bite, are small ray like hypocarnivorous omnivorous fish which eat primarily crustaceans and the caps of capped branches, they are the only ray without the venomous tail, it is vestigial and can be seen as a hollow piece of bone at the end of their tails, when feeding they will inhale and suction feed their food then cover their mouth with their flexible lips and start chewing them without letting any of them escape, during autumn they will go around taking caps and shrimp over to small burrows and then will spend the winter rarely leaving said burrow surviving mostly off of the stockpiled food, only leaving during late winter to collect more, back in the early days of dumuno, people would spend a week watching a lake during winter to see if winter will end soon, they decided that when a plicer left their burrow there was only a week left of winter, of course this was just a superstition, they are rarely found in rivers thriving primarily within the lakes of dumuno, they spend the winter slowly swimming around the interior of their burrow, if you have any questions about this organism please dont be afraid to ask
