double dumbass on you!

Despite its name and appearance, the Long Crane is actually closer to a mammal, as it gives live birth and breastfeeds its young. These animals, reaching in their adult sizes up to 1.20 meters are often described in Bajoran folklore as tricksters and friendly spirits -- unless wronged. A displeased long crane was told to be able to pull fowl and children underwater to drown them, set fire to wooden houses by stealing burning branches from settlements, and even claw people's eyes out. On the other hand, having a friendly long crane was said to bring prosperity and the Prophets' good will.

2. A juvenile long crane is fat, helpless and often left alone for hours. This would make them a perfect food source. However, cultural taboo forbids Bajorans from killing baby long cranes, even in times of hunger, as harming one of them was the sure way to make an adult long crane angry. Oddly enough, Cardassians stationed in areas populated by long cranes abstained from killing juveniles as well, perhaps because of their uncanny similarity to a juvenile Cardassian, both in appearance and tone of voice.

3. The desire to breed these fish for meat has led the Cardassians to flood almost the entire Litar region with water. The farming operation was quickly abandoned, but the fish have adapted very well, quickly destroying most of the native ecosystem.

4. The igj'ira grain is home to many small wasps and beetles, who nest inside of its heads. Instead of repelling them with pesticides, Bajorans harvest the heads of grain with the insects still inside them, and process them into flour. As a result, Bajoran "bread", vasu zhian, has a very high protein content and is not suitable for vegetarians.

5. One of the species of mosquito inhabiting the Litar region. Also commonly eaten.

6. A swamp frog. It has nothing to hide.

7. . One of the only native species of fish still surviving in the areas affected by Cardassian climate engineering. Named somehow inaccurately, as its one "eye", located in the same entrance as its mouth, is actually a multi-sensory organ, the exact workings of which are still not known.
