Catogs and togcats, are small animals. They can breathe and eat only in water. They were found and discovered on September 27, 2007 by the famous explorer Sir Humbert Bumbert while he was in South America. He was on a business trip and he never suspected to find an animal like this!
Catogs and Togcat are about the size of a normal cat. They are brown and very shinny black. They have fantastic whiskers green and blue eyes. They have long, pink tongues. Their beautiful small faces can be seen from miles away.
Their height is 3.4m. If you planted a tree the leaves would be gone in 1 min!!! They have very, very, very sharp teeth, they open their mouths under the freezing water and swallow the prey without chewing it twice... The catogs and Togcats have a very long tail... which help it glide through the dark, deep blue water.
Catogs are omnivorous. That means they eat both meat and plants. They are attracted by the lovely shoots of the purple tip tree. They can do very bad damage to the trees. In the water Catogs can eat up to 100 leaves (blue leaves) they also eat yellow tip grass, orange spotted sticks and purple sticks.
The jungles of South America appear to be the only place where Catogs and Togcats can be found! They sleep in the cliffs of South America they are really big, cosy and warm. The jungle has never had a man visit it. They make nests out of mud, water and any other stuff they see about. It hardens and makes a nice home for a pair and their offspring's. They live up to 100 years. They mate for life. During this partnership a couple can produce as many as 3,000 offspring's known as catogsogs!
