Dibles (genus)

Scientific classification

Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Subphylum: Vertebrata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Theria
Suborder: Haplorrhini
Family: Operatissystematia
Subfamily: Linuxi
Tribe: Ubuntusia
Subtribe: Gutsiati
Genus: Dibles
Species: Kubuntu Veteranis

Description
The exact description of the dibles (common name 'dibl') has yet to be settled upon. When originally discovered, the dibl could be described as similar to any number of like mammalia of germanic origins. The dibl may have chameleon like abilities, as recent confirmed sightings describe an older, hairier appearance. The dibl is very quick. Its presence generally precedes what can only be described as 'gifts' which seem to be eagerly awaited by other mammalia linuxi.

Natural history
The typical dibl is found frequenting gatherings of other mammilia linuxi.

Classifiction
Official classification remains hotly contested. Until such time as consensus is reached, official classification is on hold.

ROFLMAO !

Snowhog, I doubt you knew that I majored in biological sciences!




Back when it was barely beyond witchcraft!




(at least you didn't classify me with the tapeworms ....) :P

Dibles Prolificus (genus)

Scientific classification

Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Subphylum: Vertebrata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Theria
Suborder: Haplorrhini
Family: Operatissystematia
Subfamily: Linuxi
Tribe: Ubuntusia
Subtribe: Lucidia Lynxiata
Genus: Dibles Prolificus
Species: Kubuntu Veteranisia

Description
The Dibles Prolificus was discovered on May 14, 2010. Believed to be the first of its kind,
and the first, direct metomorphisis of an existing speci (Dibles) to another, ever observed.
A quick review of existing data on such metomorphisis found no previous observations.

What makes the Dibles Prolificus different from its antecedent, is the shear volume of its 'gifts.'
Although similar to the Dibles, the Dibles Prolificus is truly unique. It is believed by this observer,
that the Dibles Prolificus is an evolutionary 'quantum leap' never before seen in a living species.
Fossil records exists that suggested such quantum leaps in evolutionary development have occurred in
the distant past, but until now, the evidence was hotly contested.


Natural history
The Dibles Prolificus, like its antecedent, is found frequenting gatherings of other mammilia linuxi.
The verdant expanses of the Kubuntuforums midlands seems to be its preferred habitat.

Classifiction
Official classification, unlike that of the Dibles, is on an acceptance 'fast track' by the scientific community.
