Three toed scrambler(macello letalis )
Creator: Thistle and Rose
Ancestor:Scrambled shrew
Habitat: Vivus taiga, Vivus alpine, Vivus boreal
Size: 45 cm long
Diet: carnivorous (Kehaida, Pikashrew,Phouka)
Reproduction: sexual (male and female, live birth, pouch and milk)
In the Vivus cold ecosystems there are little predators, especially the alpine. All the boom and bust cycles of this robust, but un-diverse region quickly get out of control, as a small prey animal, the pikashrews, explode in numbers every few years. Due to a lack of any predators in some cold biomes it causes an almost annual crash and recovery of flora that it can consume. Due to this almost untapped resource of small prey, it was guaranteed some fauna would come to take the role, and so the three toed scrambler did.
With a number of adaptations to survive in the colder environments of Vivus, the three toed scrambler is a species of wholly carnivorous shrew. Their greatly shortened tail and slightly less pronounced ears minimise heat loss in the cold environments, and their wide feet help them to walk through snow with minimal difficulty. The teeth are more pronounced and the claws are larger, to help catch and kill their prey. Their usual prey is other shrews, with the pika shrew making up almost all its diet in some biomes, however they will hunt animals such as the kehaida given the chance. They have also lost a toe, due to the slightly scrambled genetics of the ancestor. It is still affected by its relatives' scrambled traits, however its genetics have begun to stabilise rapidly.
The animal is largely solitary, however occasionally will hunt in pairs. They are reasonably intelligent and adaptable, surviving on their wits and their prowess. And just as well, as in the taiga and alpine food is hard to come by. It is not likely, but the chances are not zero a vivus slither worm will attack, and despite the felines mauling jaws, will fall prey to the predator in this inhospitable environment.
Its interactions with other species are similar to cats, like the bobcat and lynx. Where the Terran hunter shares declines and rises with the snowshoe hare, The boom and bust cycles of the pikashrew directly correlate to the success of the shrew. In those harsh years the species can almost vanish from the Vivus alpine entirely, the only food source being the declining fauna. However in the rest of its range it can stabilise albeit at a lower level due its taste for other prey as well.

The art needs to be at the top and not be sideways.
Can you try to get a clearer image? It looks like you used a flash; I suggest not doing so, it actually comes out with more even brightness without it.

i have used a image without flash this time,
-and i also fixed something where i called fauna, animals

You need to capitalize the things in the template, such as species names. It is also customary to not use double-spacing when submitting organisms.
"the three toed scramble" should be "the three-toed scrambler". (I personally prefer capitalizing species names, but it's fine as long as you're consistent in the description.)
"bye its relatives" By its relatives.
The art needs to be on top. I recommend using GIMP's contrast enhancement options to improve photographs, if you can't scan a drawing. I noticed there a few dots on the organism. Are these drawing artifacts, or does the the Three-Toed Scrambler actually have a few small spots?
"come bye" should be "come by".
" is not just finding food for yourself, but making sure yourself wont come up on the menu." That can be easily omitted, or rewritten to mention that other organisms occasionally eat it.
"felines" This is technically a "shrew" (Cynosaur). Calling it a feline is kind of like calling a thylacine or fossa a feline, but even more inaccurate. Using "feline" as an adjective, particularly a quantified one ("with feline-like grace", etc.) should still be acceptable, though.
" will fall prey to the predator. In this inhospitable environment." That needs to be merged.
" Like the bobcat and lynx." The "like" should not be capitalized here.
"a albeit" An albeit, though I'd recommend the more normal-sounding "albeit at a".

i think ive made all the relevant edits now, thx
also yes they are drawing artifacts
also yes they are drawing artifacts
"vivus slither worm" needs to have "Vivus" capitalized.
The template still needs to be capitalized. Please consult other organism submissions to see the correct formatting.
The picture still needs to be moved up to the top of the submission topic. I also recommend removing the dots, because the dots are so many and so obvious it could easily be construed, outside of viewing this thread, as actual features of the organism.
"Felines" still needs to be fixed.
While I strongly recommend cleaning up the image using GIMP or other photo programs, merely trimming the image to remove the partial image of that other organism would work. I also recommend trimming the left side of the image, as there's a lot of blank space there.

Thistle and Rose Hey, unfortunately I'm temporarily rejecting this until the issues brought up in this thread.
