This is my first day on the alien planet. I have landed on a plain of red and elongated plants thanks to the low gravity, similar to herbaceous plants of my height. From time to time I have found tree-like vegetation, and it seems that I landed in an area with a Mediterranean climate. These plants have roots suspended above the ground like some types of trees, surely so they can swell in dry seasons to retain water; They also have broad leaves that are weak to the wind, sometimes folded into cone-shaped spirals.
The leaves of trees and herbaceous plants normally have a highly distorted heart shape, to the point where it can even be imperceptible. This could indicate a common ancestor of all the flora in these plains
Exocarnivora[]
I have found several species of macrofauna, not very large due to the anatomy of their legs. I felt that I couldn't limit myself with a description, so I had to settle for a Harry Potter notebook that I had in the module. These creatures do not represent all the fauna of the plains, but only the animals of the auremammalia subphylum.
The being in the center is a Rabbit Hunter: a predator of small animals, which usually digs up or chases them. Let's start with its general biology: its cells are made up of organelles that live in a skeleton made of sugar and other materials, which reproduce in a similar way to xenobots, building their peers in the controlled environment of the skeleton with pieces of it. The skeleton is probably a living being apart from the organelles, although my observations under the microscope leave me in doubt about its nature. However, I speculate that plant cells descend from a common ancestor with this skeleton, which I have not seen reproduce in animals, but rather be stretched by their organelles until they split into two different skeletons. Unlike the organelles of terrestrial and plant cells (which are very similar to terrestrial cells) they are capable of traveling from skeleton to skeleton, with some types using them only to multiply.
The Rabbit Hunter, like its relatives, has a skeleton made of plastic and calcium fluoride, with muscles similar to those of animals. This animal also has articulated legs similar to those of tetrapods up to the ankles, where they become hydraulic and are supported by ring-shaped bone structures inside. The fluid used to erect the legs and be able to walk with them is stored in a crop in the neck, and then transported through a system of ducts and muscles. This way of moving is very inefficient, limiting the sizes of the auremammals to those of terrestrial animals, limiting their speed, and limiting their distribution, since this liquid freezes at 4ºC.
In any case, species with this type of feet have been able to spread across the planet, since the ground is covered by a layer of giant skeletons whose organelles act like cells, which carry out photosynthesis like flora, but they are surely more related to animals (in the case in which the plant cells are not organelles that got rid of their skeleton, which I do not believe since the structure of the plant cell is very different). I will call these purple photosynthetic formations as Mosspurpas.
Its jaw consists of two pieces that open and close, like terrestrial vertebrates, but it also has four appendages around it: arms similar to those of a mantis, and very small taste appendages. Its retractable teeth grow over black leather lips on both its vocal arms and mouth.
It has six eyes, four of them similar to those of snails, and two of them really interesting. These began to be small and similar to the eyes of flies, with white stripes between their multiple fragments, but over time they developed a black sphere at their base on which to move, which then went into the skull giving its strange appearance. I don't understand the reasons why they didn't increase in size like terrestrial insects, but it seems that some type of parasite could be the culprit.
