Another creature of the week entry...might take a break from it for a while~ Always neglecting by other work for it haha

Living Trap

The creature's bizarre anatomy give it perhaps one of the strangest prey trapping technique. The unique curvature of the creature's spine, twisting to the underside of the body, gives the creature a the ability allows it to traps its prey in a whiplash like motion. As it burrows under its surrounding, the creature extends its long appendages, which are connected by strong stretchable membranes acting as trapping mechanism. The vibrant red color on top of the spine is used as bait, as its prey is lured into the trap, the creature stands up and the membrane contracts to trap the unsuspecting creature. As the leg locks in place, smaller prey often suffocates, the trap as muscle contracts, while more resistant prey are neutralize with the paralyzing sting of the tail.

The stinging tail may be overkill, but this creature is still pretty awesome. Really creative design too. I want one as a pet now!

I just wanna ask: If it catches prey and devours it there...why does it even have a mouth? Water? Cause I thought it drains the fluids from its victims...
