There's a Pokemon called Cubone. It evolves into Marowak

Best argument for captivity I have ever heard ever.

[argent_eyes]

They don't do as well in captivity. Can't evolve naturally.

[kicktothebeat]

I wonder why they don't just hang out with the other orphans, if they're all born around the same place. Stubborn.

[argent_eyes]

Nobody knows. Cubones are mysterious like that.

?

[godisagirl]

I want to help them.

[argent_eyes]

People've tried. But it seems like it can't be done without harming the species.

[maraihi]

Won't they go extinct that way?

[argent_eyes]

No. The BIRTH still happens. The mothers die AFTER.

[maraihi]

If every female gives birth to only one young, eventually they'll go extinct.
Let's say there were ten, 5 females, 5 males.
5 females give birth, to 4 males and 1 female.
Now you have 9 males and 1 female left. And she's going to die (and MAYBE make another female...)

In other words, the death rate is higher than the birth rate if they can only give birth to one baby.

[argent_eyes]

Dunno what to tell ya, man. They're rare but they're still around.

[ringsthatbind]

Hn, nature is cruel.

[argent_eyes]

Yeah

[bloodred_flamel]

... That's a little depressing to know.

[argent_eyes]

My world is just made of sunshine and rainbows.

[bloodred_flamel]

Like every other world is.

But I've never heard of an entire race of orphans.

[argent_eyes]

Yeah. I'd kinda like to meet one. I'm curious about these cries.
