Description for JABS:
JABS are an aquatic animal and are five times the size of bacteria. It uses its pores to absorb food, water, and oxygen. It has three eyes and reproductive pores to reporduce.

Our animal has very unique skin. It is rubbery and has oil in it. It is rubbery so it can transport itself. It has oil in it to pretect it from UV radiation.

JABS has reproductive pores. The will grow and start to fall off. These pores will soon turn into a new JABS.

JABS's pores are very important to it. They absorb food (bacteria), water, and oxygen. Each pore has a different job.

JABS has three eyes are are hidden under its pores. One is on top and is used to see the surface. One is in front so it can see where it is going. Another is on its bottom so it ca see and control what it bounces on.

A. Pores - their job is to absorb water, food (bacteria), and oxygen.
B. Eyes - hiden under the pores for protection from UV rays. One is on top so it can see the surface. One is in front so it can see where it is going. One is on its bottom so it can see where it is bouncing and control where it is bouncing.
C. Skin - the skin is rubbery and bouncy ans is used for transportation, by bouncing everywhere. The skin is oily to protect it from UV rays.
D. Reproductive pores - as our creature grown its reproductive pores grow too. When they grow big enough they reproductive pores will fall off and turn into a new JABS.
