Pokémon Biology: Horses, Hippos and Hogs, the Ungulates of Pokémon

Really fun video! I did a bit of research and slowbro is a Sazae oni, sea monster that have a habit of eating people. also it is said that is mostly look like a mollusk. anyway, it's cool to see your vid after some time, happy new year!

Thanks for the feedback, will look into the origins of the Sazae to see what animal it’s like, I think the mollusc part probably refers to the shell creature as slowbro definitely doesn’t fit with in with the Bivalves (Clams and Oysters), Gastropods (Snails and slugs) or Cephalopods (Octopi and Squid). I should probably put a dotted line showing that connection as it is definitely part shelder. I plan on posting a lot more as a New Years resolution and have a few videos in the bank so hopefully will be more consistent. Thanks

@@Rigamarolled I forgot to mention it is a fictional creature from japanese culture. the slowpoke not having the mollusk is nintendo taking the myth of a shapeshifting creature and rewriting it into slowbro where it obviously is a symbiotic relationship between the two. I still think slowbro can be classified as a mammal, maybe related to a hippo but I think it is also look close to a rodent to me.
