Bestiarium - Mayra


 Mayra is a very rare and exceptional animal, for it appears only as a female specimen. There are no male Mayras in Nature. The way of its conception still remains a mystery.  Locals say she lies like a dead under a great oak tree for three days, after which she impregnates. On the twenty seventh day the shell-like cover on her back opens and the baby Mayra comes out.  Mayras dwell in the trunks of big trees near the water and feed on fruits and leaves.
