Cryptids & Creatures of Folklore Drawtober Day 4 — The Not-Deer
Many stories have been told of people encountering deer that are just...not quite right. Some of these Not-Deer are said to walk on their hind legs, others appear to have extra joints in their limbs, some have forward-facing eyes like a predator, and other have mouths that split back just a bit too far.
Whatever they are, it's probably for the best if you just keep your distance from them.

AVNJ on youtube is having a invent a fish contest so I made the False Orca Shark!
Here’s the bio I wrote for this dude:
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Chondrichthyes
Order: Orectolobiformes
Family: Lucemaculidae
Genus: Occisornus
Species: O. falsus
The false orca shark (Occisornus falsus) is a slow-moving, bottom feeding carpet shark that feeds on mostly sea grass and detritus. False orcas live in tropical epipelagic waters. It ranges in size from 16-23 ft long, making it one of the largest extant shark species, behind the whale shark and basking shark. It is also comparable in size to a small orca whale, which it imitates in appearance and behavior. Evidence suggests that the false orca mimics the orca whale as a defense from predators. The false orca’s other defenses from predators include their large size, and their tendency group in schools of 2-8 individuals. Though theses schools look similar to a pod of orcas, their social dynamics are much simpler. The false orca feeds by sucking plants and decomposing organic materials from the sea floor into its downward facing mouth. It has sensitive barbels that can detect food through touch and chemoreception. False orcas are very gentle and rarely, if ever, attack humans.
