Its closest living relative on the outer surface is the thylocine, or Tasmanian Wolf. The Spectacled Baublehead is an omnivore, relying mostly on shrubbery but occasionally supplementing its diet with a small animal, such as a rodent or fish. It hunts no large food, as it is actually a timid and wary animal. This is in part a learned habit, for it has long been the preferred quarry of Yelff hunters. The Spectacled Baublehead produces to valuable recourses: its flesh, which is tender and flavorful, and the baubles to which it owes its name. During mating season, male Baubleheads produce shimmering spheres, which grow out of their antlers. The purpose of these baubles is to simultaneously intimidate males with less luster and to impress females. The baubles also impress Yelffs, who in tribal days used the baubles as decorations of status, as well as valuable currency. In more recent industrialized years, the baubles have been put to use in making ornaments and other such holiday pretties. In the mid twentieth century, the Baubleheads had nearly gone extinct. As a result, the Yelff parliament passed legislation prohibiting the killing of Baubleheads solely for their baubles, and sharply reduced the amount of Baubleheads that could be hunted at all. It is considered the first great victory for the inner earth environmentalist movement. Thylacine: 1. A doglike carnivorous marsupial with stripes across the rump, found only in Tasmania. There have been no confirmed sightings since one was captured in 1933, and it may now be extinct. 2. "The Queensland tiger sounds very similar to the thylacine (marsupial wolf) that went extinct in Australia.

If one fell down that chasm, after plummeting for a time one would find that gravity had reversed. If our hypothetical traveler chose to ascend the rest of the way through the chasm, he would eventually reach a temperate paradise of eternal light and creatures unimaginable. He would have reached the land that time forgot and that science denies: the inner surface of the hollow earth. Should he choose to explore further--and who could not, having come so far to such a wondrous place?--he would soon find that he is not the only human being to be found in this world. The interior of the earth is inhabited, and the people, short in stature and quite industrious, call themselves Yelffs. On the surface of the earth, the word has been changed over centuries into "Elves." Yes, Elves, Santa Claus, and his legendary workshop do exist, but on the inner surface of the earth, not on the North Pole, as in myth. Millions of years ago, the inner surface of the earth was more accessible to creatures from the outer surface. However, as continental drift has moved the sole opening between the two surfaces into ever more remote and inhospitable terrain, the creatures of the inner earth evolved in isolation.  Marsupial: a mammal of an order whose members are born incompletely developed and are typically carried and suckled in a pouch on the mother's belly. Marsupials are found mainly in Australia and New Guinea, although three families, including the opossums, live in America.
