The Grapefruit

Unicorn Dragons
Translated by lowly scum, Kameron Maier, period 1

Hello, We are the Grapefruit Unicorn Dragons, a

population of red and orange dragons who hate
grapefruit. I know, our species name is weird. Are little
groups birthrate is 1 every 1200 years, so our population
size is small. We run the risk of being endangered, and it
would be awful to have such a small group. Right now we
are the only population of Grapefruit Unicorn Dragons
living on earth right now.

Our size is so small, our entire population is

threatened. It’s not as bad as being endangered, but it
is still not good. At least we didn’t go extinct, unlike the
flying ace unicorns. They all died out because they
spent all their time doing tricks and not eating. They
were kind of disgusting, they were detritivore so all they
ate were dead rainbow beaked gophers.

As many people do not know, we are not herbivores,

we are omnivores. We eat itchy blue flower moss and
pink pelican carp. Our food web is quite small, as is our
community. Our main predator is the acid spitting red
frilled gerbil. To us, even though we are over 3 tons, it
regards us as prey, and always tries to digest us in its
giant mouth.

Our habitat is the north side of yellow gold

mountain. It gets its name from the two tiny bugs,
golden blade wasps and the yellow 7 ton grass bugs. For
years they had lived in symbiosis, the mutualism was
stable, until the golden blade wasps stopped getting
the yellow 7 ton grass bugs food, and kept taking its
regrowable wings. To the grass bugs, this was war. It had
moved from mutualism to commensalism, and when the
grass bugs started starving it turned to parasitism. That
is why the mountain is yellow and gold, it is littered with
the thousands of bodies of deceased bugs, perished in
battle. They had a treaty, so they went back to
symbiosis.

So now you know about us, where we live, our

history, and our food chain. It is hilarious when people
try to document our story, or when they try to help us.
They do help us though, they are delicious fried. They
heard the rumors about our birth rate and tried to help
us. A little known fact is that our death rate, or lifespan,
is about 60000 years. We are the second longest living
creature in our ecosystem, topped only by the granite
flamethrower cats, who live up to 3 million years. Please
come visit us, we would love to eat, i mean meet you.
