BEHOLD #353 – Rowan The Pom Rooster

Pom Roosters have been crowing on farms for over 5,000 years. Although Pom Roosters are not always in charge, they do keep the pecking order among the hens. Pom Rooster reproduction is driven by the sun. They are known for their distinctive combs, which they use to mark territory and attract mates. Clearly, Rowan’s is spectacular. Their combs and gobbles help to regulate their temperature. They have excellent eyesight and can see colors that humans can’t see. They protect their flocks and use their complex crowing vocalization to communicate. They are omnivores and they are also good as natural pest control because they eat bugs. Pom Chickens don’t need them in order to lay eggs, but they do need Pom Roosters in order to fertilize eggs (which they can do up to two weeks after the eggs are laid). The Pom Rooster is a sign of the Zodipom that symbolizes courage, strength, and fertility. There can be more than one Pom Rooster in the hen house. So, Rowan rooms with his best mate, Rex, in the bachelor pad section of the hen house where they take shifts protecting the ladies and the egg babies. Luckily they take Thursday nights off and grab a couple of bottles of Pomweiser together so they can have some work-life balance. 

BEHOLD #352 – Pommermint

Pommermint is an herb that’s been used as a flavoring and as medicine throughout Pom history. Ancient Greek Poms thought Pommermint could cure hiccups.

It was also used medicinally in Ancient Egypt. National Pommermint Latte Day is December 3rd. January 19th is National Chocolate Mint Day. Pommermint is the number one non-chocolate flavored candy. It helps to promote healthy digestion and fresh breath. Now go eat a Pommermint and kiss your sweetheart! 

BEHOLD #351 – Adora The Pomigator

There are 2 species of Pomigator – Pomerican and Chinese. Pomerican Pomigators are larger than Chinese, with the largest ever being almost 15 feet long. A group of Pomigators is called a “congregation.” After injury, they can regenerate skin, cartilage, connective tissue, and up to 9 inches of their tail. Like birds, they build nests. Unlike Pomcodiles, they have overbites and rounder snouts. The sex of their offspring depends on the temperature of the nest in which they are laid. Higher temperatures produce males. Since they are cold–blooded, they get their warmth from external sources, and they can lie dormant for months in mud tunnels in the cold season. They have webbed feet and their roars can be heard 150 meters away. Since Pomigators’ teeth are constantly falling out, Adora has a career as a specialized dentist called a pomsthodontist. She can help rebuild teeth for Poms. Her practice is in Miami and (while she’s awake during the warm season) she treats fellow Pomcodiles and famous clients with many big teeth such as Pomzilla, the Apominable Snowpom, and Pom Cruise.
