Panting, Bill Nye stops to take a breather in a mostly barren land filled with trees decorated sparsely around.
Random Cat: *Takes eggs from trees and smashes on ground* Oh! Hello!
Bill Nye: Hi, I'm -
Random Cat: Oh, is you, isn't it? Nill Bye? The Kitty Science? We know all about you! You're here to learn all about our clan- ReproductionClan!
Bill Nye: Wait, what? ReproductionClan? And my names not Nill Bye, it's -
Random Cat: Of course it is! Anyway, I'm Ovumtail!
Bill Nye: Uh, so I'd like to learn about, ah, Reproduction?
Ovumtail: Of course you do, Nill Bye. SexEdStar can tell you a lot about that, but the Queens and kits know quite a bit more of you know what I mean!
Bill Nye: ......
Ovumtail: Anyway, I can tell you the basis of reproduction. It happens when-
Spermclaw: Oi! Let me help!'
Ovumtail: Fine. It happens when two morphologically distinct reproductive cells, called Gametes, fuse together, involving a females large Ovum -
Spermclaw: And a males much smaller sperm cell. Each gamete contains half the number of chromosomes than the average cell. They are created by a specialised type of cell division that only happens in eukaryotic cells-
Bill Nye: Hang on, what are eukaryotic cells?
Spermclaw: I thought you had that chapter already?
Bill Nye: Oh, yeah. Carry on!
Spermclaw: Anyhow, from the dead twoleg collections we have, we've discovered that each human cell has 46 chromosomes in every cell except Gametes which have 23 chromosomes and the offspring have 23 chromosomes from each parent.
Bill Nye: huh, interesting- Waiiit a minute, Dead twoleg collections?!?
Ovumtail; Oh, yeah! ReproductionClan hunt twolegs and eat them. Preferably we hunt and kill pregnant females as they have the most meat.
Rio: *watching from distance to find Bill Nye~Senpai and teach him backs off slowly* Should I be worried?
Ovumtail: TWOLEG! YUMMY! *runs*
Rio: AHHHHHH!!!!!! *runs*
Spermclaw: Well, we've reached camp! Say hi, Nill Bye!
Bill Nye: It's not Nill Bye it's -
SexEdStar: Welcome, Nil Bye! I am Sexual Education Star and I am Here to tell you that-
Dusky: When a mummy and a daddy love each other very much
Olivia: *whacks* OUT! MY CHAPTER!
Dusky: Your chapter that you should have published yesterday!
Spermclaw: TWOLEGS! *chases*
Dusky & Olivia; *runs*
SexEdStar: Now, as I was saying, when the sperm and the ovum cells fuse together, they become fertilised and a fetus develops. If the cell receives X chromosomes it will be a boy, IT it receives Y chromosomes it will be a girl. Slowly the fetus/embryo becomes a young kitten ready to enter the world.
Bill Nye: Huh, interesting.
Gestationbelly: Come to the nursery! We can tell you more!
Bill Nye: Okay then.
Gestationbelly: These are my kits; Fetuskit, Embryokit and Fertilisedkit. Now a Gestation Period is how long the baby takes to develop. Sometimes called Pregnancy by humans, but we cats simply say we're expecting. The Gestation period varies from animal to animal. For a human it is nine months, for a cat it is 64-67 sunrises.
Fertilisedkit: Sometimes, animals of two different species have young but their offspring can't produce young Of its own. Gestatationbelly says I'm like that and I was adopted.
Bill Nye: K then
Periodblood: Hi there! I was just teaching my kits some scienc- Torture! Yes, definitely torture.
Bill Nye: Torture?!?
Periodblood: Yes, I was teaching my kits how to torture humans, and of one torture that the female gets every month-
Eggkit: STOP THERE ARE CHILDREN READING THIS
Bill Nye; Goodbye!
Feeling very uncomfortable Bill Nye leaves, waiting for the next clan.
