A month through the life of a Shrecko

Going through a month for the Shrecko is very complicated.

Day 1 The Shrecko is born today. The parents are very proud Dad teaches him how to catch food and other organisms. The Shrecko has to get used to his habitat and surroundings. They Shrecko tries to catch its first food ever. Sometimes it is lucky and sometimes he doesn't catch anything. The Shrecko sleeps until morning time.

Day 2 The Shrecko doesn't wake up at any specific time. They Shrecko learns a new skill to survive every day from Mom and Dad. Some of the skills he learns are how to hide from predators, what to eat and what not to eat, and how much he should eat a day and so on. Today Mom teaches him how to hide in trees when predators are coming. They also tell them about the population of their species. There are not very many Shreckos on the islands but the population is growing. The Shrecko learns that he should get along with the following animals in his ecosystem. After each eating and lesson the Shrecko goes to sleep.

Day 3-10 The Shrecko wakes up, by now the Shrecko knows how to catch its own prey or food. If it can't find prey it eats mangos. Every day it switches between taking lessons from its father or mother. It eats goes to sleep.

Day 11- 20 The Shrecko is now becoming an adult and as learned almost all their necessary skills. For most Shereckos this is the time they are weened. Some of the Shreckos don't get weened until they are ready.

Day 21-30 This is when the rest of the Shreckos are weened. The Shrecko is now an adult but still doesn't have its shell. He will grow his shell later in about 4 or 5 more months. Some of the Shreckos stay with their mom and dad until they grow their shells but most don't. They must be able to catch their own prey by now or they will die. Some Shreckos have to immigrate to other islands. The islands stay populated by emigration or the moving of the species. That is a month through the life of a Shrecko.
