LAGA'S
AQUATIC ANIMALS
 

Early Animals

  

B-Prima Cell Clumped B-Prima Cells

The first single cell form that created animal life on the planet of LAGA was the B-Prima. The research indicates that life began on the planet of LAGA due to a mysterious and unexplainable explosion 3.8 billion years ago. LAGA scientists at the Institute of World builders Scientific Research Lab have been diligently trying to explain and uncover the grand mystery for years.  What we have found, is that this B-Prima cell is the ancestor to all living life on LAGA which began near the volcanic vents at the bottom of LAGA's ocean.
 


B-Prima cells become a Chinli, a multicellular organism

As the years went by the cells from the B-Prima cell began to clump together as one single whole.  That single whole began to evolve and here LAGA's animal life began with the first multicellular organism called the Chinli.

A Primitive Multicellular Animal

  
The developing Ilucalis floating around the 
deep volcanic vents of LAGA's ocean floor with cilia helping them move around into open oceans.

The Ilucalis evolved from the Chinli, which began its evolution in the aquatic environment of LAGA near the warm volcanic vents at the bottom of the ocean. It  began developing organs to help it eat and digest microbes found in the deep ocean, the organs also helped it to move out of this environment and into open ocean. It also developed cilia to help it move around the ocean floor.

Environment Two:  Open Ocean

  
  The Aluneba moved into open oceans without cilia.

When the Aluneba  moved into the open ocean and semi-tropical waters, it left behind its cilia. The Aluneba simply stuck its sticky transparent  poisonous body to other animals and fed off microorganisms living on the surfaces of these animals. The host animal did not die because the poison was used to kill the microorganisms found on the host animal.  Here the Aluneba stayed until the host animal was close enough to the shallow waters of LAGA. The Aluneba simply let its sticky body go and attached itself to seaweed  found in the shallow waters.

Environment Three: Shallow Ocean

  
The Niori waited on beds of seaweed to lift it up and onto LAGA's shores.

The Aluneba evolved into the Niori and became longer, which helped it to move around in the shallow waters of LAGA. The shallow ocean was warm and semi-tropical, a good temperature for the Niori to begin the reproduction of it's eggs. Once the Niori washed up on shore, it began laying it's fertilized eggs.  The Niori was asexual, it's organs produced a fertilized egg because the almost transparent Niori was hard for it's partner to see. It was very important for the Niori to wash up on shore on time to lay it's eggs in the warm sand for the survival of its species and then to return to the shallow waters.

Pulpis
After thousands of years, the Niori developed into the Pulpis. The Pulpis, like the Niori enjoyed the warm shallow waters of LAGA. This animal, just like its ancestors had a soft poisonous outer layer, although not transparent any longer, it hid from other predators by using it's colors as a camouflage. It developed three leg like moving tentacles, that helped it swim quickly, and away from danger. It simply lay on the shallow ocean floor and disappeared into the sand for protection. 


The Pulpis leaving the safe  shallow ocean floor, where is uses the sand as a camouflage for protection. The Pulpis also uses its disguise to capture it's food, usually small creatures that roam around LAGA's shallow ocean floor.

Octocrustacia
One of Pulpis cousins is the Octocrustacia.  This animal developed a hard crusted body, unlike the soft layered skin of the Pulpis, the Octocrustacia protected itself with it's hard shelled body, and poisonous tentacles found all over it's body. This animal developed four legs, which helped it move into LAGA's shores for reproductive purposes.  The Octocrustacia also lived in LAGA's shallow waters.
 

The Octocrustacia developed a hard tough shell and poisonous tentacles for it's protection.

Sargassus
The Sargassusalso descends from the Niori.  Like the Niori , it is slick and poisonous. This fish has extraordinary colors and shapes on his body, that both protect him and hide him in the shallow ocean between seaweed and other water plants.  The Sargassusis not a predator, it eats microbes and the seaweed and water plants found in LAGA's shallow ocean.

The beautiful Sargassus uses it's beautiful colors to hide itself and protect itself from others.

Risata
This is one of LAGA's most fearful predators.  The Risata is a cousin of Sargassusbut this predator is known to eat all of it's relatives.  Although the others might be poisonous, this 6ft animal has a special chemical that protects it from any poisonous animals.  The poison is destroyed as soon as it enters the mouth of this fearful predator, therefore leaving it fearless of any animal which might get in its way.
