Imaginif...the spirit of Christmas lasted.

In every geographic reach of our planet, an ancient and predatory species has juggled its way through evolution. Often hunted for its ability to become domesticated, the Octomumus Protectus is discerning, fertile in its choice of partner, and focused on its rearing of offspring.

Appearing in a variety of shapes and colours, this adaptive, now domestic animal, shares some common traits wherever found.

• It is always female.
• It chooses to mate with a competing species that has poor understanding of Octomumus culture.
• It has eight arms, two only visible to other animals but all visible to its sister Protectus’.

The eight arms of Octomumus Protectus are used for juggling the different factors peculiar to its chosen environment. However, interbreeding within domestic spheres has forced Octomumus to remain vigilant and open to new ways of juggling adaptation.

Octomumus has long protected its young from sun, water, poison, road and farm dangers. The protective nature and adaptive survival of this animal is a force to reckon with. In 2006, Octomumus was filmed in the practice of a novel behaviour as they adapted to an environment where baby Protectus are more likely to be harmed in their den than in the greater environment. Renewing its juggling ability to include personal safety on its list of “will do’s” almost every Octomumus on the planet has begun to hold their arms open to juggle the five protective factors of domestic safety: Body ownership, Intuition, Touch, Say no, and Support network. Fiercely protective of its young, the eight arms reach out and join with other Octomumus worldwide. The joined hands form a protective ring around planet earth and give a message of evolutionary hope. The Octomumus refuses to be separated from its kind and its common language of protection screams out to competing species in a warning against hurting the young.

By touching the hands of its sisters world wide, a process of contact osmosis transfers personal safety knowledge from one to the other. Each Octomumus then retreats to her lair and hand feeds the acquired change behaviours to her offspring. This novel behaviour has resulted in an increase of self-reports of harm from deep within the dens that the competing species drag Octomumus off to. The increased reporting has allowed us to undertake Octomumus research previously unequaled. These studies will ultimately protect the survival of this amazing animal and her beloved offspring

1. Octomumus Protectus: global name, mum, mom, mother, mummy, mumsie.
2. Habitat:  Adapts well to any habitat and found worldwide.
3. Diet: Can go without hot food for an amazing amount of time. Ensures offspring are well fed fed and generally brings home the prize catches for them.
4. Needs:  A little understanding, laughter, love and companionship.
5. Enemy:  Any other species (or even other Octomumus) who endanger the safety of Octomumus Protectus offspring.
6. Prowess: Unequaled in the animal kingdom. Octomumus will hunt down and destroy any who breach the sanctity of the five novel behaviours being steeped into daily routine: Body ownership, Intuition, Touch, Say no, Support network.
7. Viewing: Can be seen juggling any day of the week and anywhere you choose to wander. Neither stillness nor activity inhibits the Octomumus from juggling.
8. Colour: Varies – black, white, yellow, brown, caramel or pink.
