O-oh! Ahem, hello! Call me Cress!

I am a Limbi Conservationist, meaning that I assist with the research, breeding, rehabilitation, and public education on creatures called Limbi. (that is the common name for the Limbuscompanius genus!)

This post is a great resource on getting started with your journey on understanding Limbi!

Ah, I also frequently work alongside @ironbehavioralist so make sure to visit her! (Another great resource on Limbi)

Feel free to send me any questions or concerns! I am happy to share my opinions!

A bit about me under the cut. I just don't want to clog up the post!

Let's see! My name is Cress, she/her, I grew up in UCorp and currently live within the KCorp nest... O-oh! But I don't support the KCorp Limbi experiments! There are more ethical ways to learn about our friends.

I have two personal Limbi outside of my worklife. I have a Soda Hong Lu called Peppi and a La Manchaland Outis called Cherry (as aggressive as some La Manchaland Limbi can be, keep in mind with proper training they can build strong familial bonds with other Limbis).

*places a very aggressive Pequod First Mate Yi Sang on your desk.*

...

*Defenestrates and runs.*

Y-you didn't need to break my window! Um...

It seems quite defensive right now. I'll need to work with it to see if it's domesticated or not, but I'll provide a good enclosure for it in the meantime!

(It's trying to spear my hand... Guess I should find a net for it first...)

Pssst, you want Komer Limblets?

Um... If the alternative is someone unlicenced trying to raise them, then I'll take them.

But, if they are wild Kromer Limblets you found in a nest then please just leave them there. Hanging around a Kromer nest for long periods of time is just asking to be attacked when the mother returns from hunting. I know Kromers are cute but please don't try to take them out of their natural habitat unless there is a natural emergency.

*Hands you multiple Kromer limblets*

O-oh! Ah, thank you for bringing them to someone licenced to care for them. I'll work on getting them raised to be able to survive in the wild.

...Do you happen to know where their mother is?

Update: I won the fistfight, no I will not explain.

😰😰😰 please don't tell me you punched a Limbi in the face.

By the way, you've seen the shit going down on your friend's blog?

I have! I feel bad I couldn't go to TCorp with Ace. This whole situation must be so stressful!

Opinion on exotic Limbi?

Ah, well...

'Exotic' is somewhat of a difficult definition. All that simple means is that the animal does not originate from where you live. So even if Ishmaels are common within the Limbi pet trade, someone from the North side of The City may consider them exotic due to them being originally discovered in UCorp. Yet, Ishmael Limbi are so common that some have been integrated into the ecosystem of almost every District.

However, if we are measuring 'exotic' by how endangered a Limbi could possibly be then I would say that I'm excited about the attention they are getting! Publicity for critically endangered species is extremely important when there is only a handful of individuals left. Tiny things like educating about small life changes to help the environment (pulling plugs out of outlets when not being used/buying sustainable seafood/etc.) or encouraging donations of even a few dollars-- anything like that can help conservation.

The downside of endangered Limbi now becoming popular is that people are trying to illegally introduce these Limbi into the pet trade. 'Exotic' is a fun term coined for these illegal pets.

People may see a video of a professional-- like me-- working with a Cathy on enrichment and think "oh, thats an uncommon pet! It's so cute, I could see myself taking care of one." And that thought process could possibly lead to a Limbi going extinct in the wild if too many people act upon it.

O-oh, I rambled a bit. Hopefully my opinion made sense. I did a lot of talking, so feel free to add on with your own thoughts.

Cress! Good to see you on this site. - @ironbehavioralist

Aaa! Ace! Hello! Have people been nice?

[ironbehavioralist]

They have been nice, a lot of anons asking for advice and being normal. Which was a really worry when I was thinking about joining as i've heard from others that the anons can get a little wack.

[the-limbi-conservationist]

Yeah, I see... People are openly committing to crimes??
