Hydraby ~Hyrotrioskjan

Not what you expect, or?
The real hydra is extinct in the wild but a few specimens are alive in zoos (not normal zoos

)
But how is it possible that the old greeks see something like this: [link]

The answer is, again, easier as the most think.
When the mating season is coming the smaller males of the region comes together and build a mating ball with one or two females (maybe you know that behavior from anacondas). And even in this state they can be very aggressive.
Dendroaspis is a member of the mambas and is able to rise the front half of it's body.

Nice

I like that mating ball theory. Sound logical

By the way, I'm Greek <:

Even Greek`s great strides in philosphy and mathmatics, they were still primitive.

~Hyrotrioskjan Jun 17, 2012 Professional General Artist

I think primitive is the wrong word, it's a basic property of humans to make mistakes, to exaggerate and to lie... and there are always people which will belive in the crazy stories they hear

~horse14t 1 day ago Hobbyist General Artist

The word "primitive" I find is misused way to much. That's just my opinion.

Are you going to make one for the Kirin?

~Hyrotrioskjan 2 hours ago Professional General Artist

Yes, there will be a Kirin

~Arbiter10123 Jun 17, 2012 Student General Artist

Yrue, it is harsh.
