Spagus stor vanlig |
Spaghetti Yetis are bipedal mammals sometimes kept as pets. Although the name Spaghetti Yeti applies to many species in the Spagus genus, in common usage it almost always refers to the Common Spaghetti Yeti (Spagus vulgaris). With a total population of around 500,000, the Common Spaghetti Yeti is the most common species of the Spaghetti Yeti in the world. The total population of Spaghetti Yetis altogether ranges from 1.5 to 2 million - this is due to a few rarer subspecies.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
Spaghetti Yetis are best known for their spaghetti-like fur. Domesticated Spaghetti Yetis differ from ones living in the wild in several ways. Wild Spaghetti Yetis have a wider variation of fur color, ranging from pure white to dark chocolate brown and black. Other fur differences include spotted and piebald. The nature of the fur varies widely (among all breeds of Spaghetti Yetis) from dense and matted, to long and hairlike.
Depending on the breed, Spaghetti Yetis show a range of heights and weights. Their rate of growth and mature weight is a heritable trait that is often selected for in breeding domesticated Spaghetti Yetis. Female Spaghetti Yetis (commonly referred to as "fettuccines" or "fettes") typically weigh between 100 and 220 pounds, and males (termed "alfredos") between 125 and 350 pounds. When all the baby teeth have emerged, the Yeti has 20 teeth. Mature Spaghetti Yetis have 32 teeth. The front teeth are then gradually lost as sheep age, making it harder for them to feed and hindering the health and productivity of the animal. For this reason, Yetis begin to slowly decline from four years on, and the average life expectancy of a Spaghetti Yeti is 15 years, though some Yetis may live as long as 25 to 30 years.
Spaghetti Yetis have heightened senses, and are occasionally frightened by sudden movements or loud noises. This happens more frequently in undomesticated Yetis, possibly due to more isolated territories and sporadic human-Yeti interaction. Many breeds have only short hair on the face, and some have facial fur (if any) confined to the area of the mandibular angle; the wide range of vision apply to these breeds. A few breeds tend to have considerable fur on the face; for some individuals of these breeds, vision may be greatly reduced by "fur blindness", unless recently shorn about the face.
Diet[edit | edit source]
Spaghetti Yetis are largely herbivorous mammals, aside from occasional meat intake that is part of their natural diet.
