 The little lion boy had been trotting around the den for a long time. He was slowly learning how to walk properly and man did he love to walk! He happily walked around the family, occasionally stopping to look out the exit. He wanted to protected his adopted family. He didn't want any of them to be hurt. He just couldn't bare it.

 He was digging yet another hole when something slithered its way into the little home. The creamy pup jumped at the sight. Intruder! Stranger danger! It looked so weird. It was smaller than even him. It had a slimy looking body and two long things on its head. On its back was some sort of hard substance. 

 His fur stood on his neck and he did a adorable meanacing growl. This creature needed to be dealt with. What if he bought the storm back. The lion charged up to the creature, standing over it in a confident posture. He pawed at the shell. It felt like tree bark. He then pawed at the body, but quickly pulled back. It was nasty and wet! Like how he felt when the rain slammed on him.

 He slowly tipped the poor snail to its side. He watched it curl and uncurl. Eventually the snail somehow got up again. What the heck was this thing?!
