Scientists at the Glenn Commission Science Exhibit released an update today regarding the popular Bunyip hatchling. The creature is still growing, and has apparently reached a stage of early maturity. Fittingly, scientists are now referring to the creature as simply "Bunyip." The report notes: "Indicators of ongoing maturation continue to emerge, particularly in digestive development, tail elongation, and motor skills. Maturation is progressing somewhat more quickly than anticipated."The caretakers of the exhibit also said they are continuing to see signs that some visitors are feeding the Bunyip, which is a serious violation of commission rules. Exhibit officials have reiterated their requests that visitors refrain from feeding all confined creatures, especially the Bunyip.
"Of course, we urge people not to feed any of the creatures in our exhibit, but in the case of the Bunyip, this is particularly important. We are still trying to determine the Bunyip's nutritional and dietary needs, and we don't know how it might be affected by the various types of food that visitors have been feeding it. Please leave the feeding to us, as we need to gauge the effects of various dietary supplements."
