Written by Abbot the Acelet

The Panafau Perrot

The Parinata Lizzard drawn when put close to the ocean, proof of it being able to adopt to any colour.

As an isolated island with a quite diverse geography, Madina holds or is the orignator of many interesting and exceptional species. Perhaps the most commonly known specie is the Birdy Bird, or the Perrot and sometimes even named, 'tiki-tiki'. A typical Madinan bird, with bright colors and a long tail, the most exceptional properties of this particular specie is that it can talk, or better to say, copy it's master in speech. The bird is usually learned curse words as a fun pet, but the birds have also proven to be great navigators and used as post carriers, to rely messages over great distances. Parts of the message can even be quoted by the bird it's self, which is received as a very handy trait. The bird comes in many diferent colours and shapes so as all the other species in Madina. This book will try to point out the most remarkable of species on the Island. It will deal with these species region by region as they do vary from area to area.

The Great eastern jungle of Panafau and Lawataling

The jungles of Panafau and Lawatling are part of a big jungle area on the east of Madina isle. Some claim, the most diverse place of life in all the known world. The jungle is particularly known for it's beutiful tropical birds. Among these birds, the most known is most likley the talking bird, or Perrot. I've personally discovered 34 varieties and found that they don't only vary in colour or size, but also in inteligence. One of the talking birds really jumps out in this category, the gray northern Perrot. The Gray Perrot is not only the best learner but also a master of inovation, in the wild it's seen to eat a huge variety of food and the only animal able to crack open the Lawataling bush nuts. A though nut to crack, even humans don't bother to open it, it takes patientless man a good pounding to get to the delishes oily substance in the center. The Gray Perrot has found out that drying these nuts in the sun for atleast a week significantly ease the process of opening them. When there dry they carefully remove the husk and then take the nuts airborn, in the skies they aim for a rock or another object hard enough to crack the nut upon. It takes careful aiming and a lot of patience, but eventually the gray parrot has the snack of his life.

The Panabear

The Jungles are also nortious for the many bugs it harvests, some poisonois some not, they are all a wonderful snack for the Panabear(locally known by tribes people as the Aye-Aye). Panabears are in fact not bears but small primates with enormous night eyes, an exceptionally long tail and flexible, moveable ears, they hunt at night and have an extraordinary ability to jump great distances. That is how they hunt, they simply wait till they spot a bug nearby and jump it in a surpise attack. The Panabear is not bigger then 30cm and due to it's size, has many natural enemies, like the Poisonous Madinan red snake, who comes out at knight and lives in the same treas as the Panabears hunting grounds. There extraordinary hands and feet, combined with its strong long tail allows the Panabear to climb extremely well in any tree in the jungle. There hard to spot and it takes many years to observe them. It is not known where they nest or sleep during the day as no one has ever managed to fully observe there habits.

Another bug eating animal up in the many lush treas of the Great Eastern Madinan jungle, is the Parinata Lizzard, a strange, slow animal with indivually moveable eyes that can view it's entire surounding independently and a magical skin, able to adopt its colour to its suroundings. It uses it's enourmous tongue to shoot and grab its prey, mostly the green Talins, the biggest mantis of the jungle, the Parinatas favourite snack. The Parinata is worshiped by local tribes people for it's magical ability to change its skin into any colour and is believed to be an embodiment of the Forrest spirits.
