Challenge: Design a Martian

Chris & Mrs. Pena's 6th period

This creature has the same skin texture as the surface of Mars and it
smells like dust so not many predators if any can find it. It has sharp
teeth and pincers to attack it‚s enemies with. It also has gold eyes that
are able to see ultra violent rays. It has little sticky arms so it can
hold on to rocks if it‚s trying to climb up steep mountains and down steep
holes. It‚s gold circles on it‚s tail both warn weaker creatures that it
will eat them and are a sign for mating. It is a omnivorous, it‚s
cold-blooded and can ingest rocks and dust incase of a lack of other
organisms. It also has very strong and durable bones, muscles, and organs
to protect itself against any strong pressure. It has little gills that
allow it to breathe carbon dioxide and it‚s lungs have filters so it can
filter out all the sand, rocks and dust. If it had to be in any animal
group, it would be with the reptile‚s group. It is both a male and
female. It can grow up to 7 feet long and half a foot wide! They can
live 20-27 years and usually have 5-7 babies. These babies start with all
the same features (skin, lung filter, etc.)but are only 1 foot long and
aren‚t very strong.
