Tips for designing your own animal species
The following guidelines will ensure not only that your species survives but is entertaining to you!
1. It may seem risky to place the command center precariously high above the ground (Fig 1), but there's always a trade off between risk and humor (See Naked Mole Rat).
2. Bipedalism will allow your species to reach higher fruit!
3. A good way to guarantee long-term survival of your species is to place sexual maturity significantly before mental maturity (Figure 2).
4. Giving birth should not be too easy, lest it happen too often and sap the parents’ resources. Some ways this can be accomplished are:
a. A long, uncomfortable gestation period
b. Require the rearrangement of bones prior to fetal passage
c. An opening that is normally 1/20th the diameter required for birth
5. Give males vestiges of lactating organs (Figure 3). No one will know what to make of this.
6. Intelligence is a delicate balance. Make it high enough to aid survival, but low enough that the average individual will not grasp the meaninglessness of their existence (see Chapter 8: The Goat).
