@Slipte, there are a lot of problems on the image, template, sentence, paragraph, and conceptual level, including typos, puzzling word and phrasing use, and errors in capitalization, punctuation, and formatting. Using Microsoft Office or LibreOffice could allow you to catch some errors, as would using Grammarly. (There's a free option.)
Since I need to help an influx of new members, some of which need a lot of help, there’s a limit to how much feedback I can reasonably give to any one entry submission. Therefore, you'll need to fix most of the problems yourself, or try again with something simpler, before I grant feedback on your entry submission. If you choose to start with something simpler, which I really recommend, I recommend the following list of
easy-to-draw flora.
Try looking at the
compendium for clarity on how descriptions should look.

@KiwiPistola15, given your level of English proficiency, I really do think it would be better to start with a simpler organism that’s easier to write about. But, since you seem to believe you can handle it nonetheless, I’ll direct you to certain classes of problems which need correction, and you can see for yourself whether you ought to start with something simpler. Keep in mind that with the influx of new members who’ve had trouble with making their first submissions, there are limits on how much help I can grant you specifically per submission. Try looking at the compendium for samples of how to write descriptions.
Art
1. While that leg shape is technically possible, it would surely be impractical as a weight-bearing posture. It looks like it’s crouching. Its toes are separated from each other, like one is a dewclaw. While a possible anatomical development, its foot structure consequently looks too flimsy to hold the weight of a 1.8 m long, 1.5 cm tall creature. Imagine a human with legs bent like they’re sitting on an imaginary chair, except they must balance their weight on only the balls of the foot. That would be uncomfortable. Now imagine something even bigger in body size. Generally, the bigger an animal gets, the straighter its legs become. Squirrels’ legs are more curved than elephant legs, for example.
Language Use
1. Capitalization errors (pointed out before, which you did not respond to): “Jaguar”, “Carnivore”, “Parents”, “The”. I will count the capitalization of the second word in the scientific name as a capitalization error.
2. “Paardavogel” in the diet ends with a period. “Scavanger” [sic] ends with a period.
3. Typos: “Scavanger” “wich” (x3)”eyestrills” (it’s “eyestrils”, like “nostrils”), “life’s”, etc.
4. Word misuse: “preys” (you’re using it as a verb, not a noun), “into the prey’s neck” (when you meant “onto”) [……]“his” (for most instances, this is not appropriate, while for one instance, it is semi-coherent but odd), “got a better vision”.
Conventions & Customs:
1. Size: if it’s above 100 cm, it’s 1 m. Therefore, it’s 1.8 cm long, 1.5 cm tall.
Other:
The paragraphs are all blurred together, and need to be separated. Subparagraphs for related sections, however, are acceptable.

@DemonicTigerBr and
@demon7sword, do you intend to finish your entry submissions? Technically, there's not a time limit on entry submissions, but it's been a while with no responses to feedback.

@mayith, while some errors remain in your entry submission, and MNIDJM should have waited to admit you to the team until those were corrected, you have nonetheless been admitted. (See January 29 post from MNIDJM on Page 10) Given this is a topic for entry submissions for new members, no further feedback is needed now for your Sun-Eyed Phlock. When Generation A167 opens, re-submit it in the forum, and I will provide further feedback.
