Do you have info on globes?

fun fact, i've actually worked with a couple globes before! they're fascinating creatures. their patterns, which can resemble their inanimate counterparts (but never fully match due to being living creatures), are unique to each individual like a fingerprint and can vary in color and shape. their highly specialized bodies have long been a mystery with lots of theories proposed over time, but only in the last decade or so have scientists studied and come to agreements on their many adaptations. for starters, their patterns are used to identify each other in the wild... but they're more well-known for their bizarre body layout.

see, their anatomy is BIZARRE. almost all their organs are contained in their "stand", aside from their faces. the inside of the actual sphere is mostly filled with fluid. their brains are contained within a long axis that the sphere is able to spin around. contrary to popular belief, the sphere cannot spin more than once without returning to its original position! due to the shapes of their bodies, they have a limited field of vision so being able to turn their heads in any direction helps them immensely to see their environment. due to their spheres being mostly fluid, there's been reports of globes missing most of their spheres and living full lives. in one case a globe was reported to have lived for six full years with only a fifth of its sphere intact!

as for behavior, these objects live in temperate areas and are rather solitary in the wild. they mostly consume insects but are known to also occasionally forage for nuts and seeds. they live near water sources, sometimes moving from lake to lake if their primary water source dries up. they need a LOT of water to remain healthy! they separate from their parents after around three months, though it isn't unheard of for them to stay around for much longer, even for years. as pets, they dislike being around other objects and i wouldn't really recommend them as a pet to anyone who already has a pet, be it an animal or another object. they like to play and need lots of enrichment!

globes were domesticated over a thousand years ago. in antiquity, they were often given as gifts to royalty and frequently seen in ancient artwork. they've been captivating to humans for a very long time!
