LU' AFRA

The highest land creature, looks like Earth's giraffe. There are only two ointments - white with black spots and dark with white spots, the latter is rarer. Males also have blue spots on the scales. They grow up to 15 meters, some males up to 17 meters. Lu' Afra has two pairs of eyes with black sclera. Due to the nature of feeding the animal it is devoid of teeth.

Lu' Afra have a very specific lifestyle. For these animal's reproduction is responsible a woody plant with moving lianas, which grows up to 30 meters in height and occurs every few kilometers. At top of the trunk are growing bell flowers which Lu' Afra reachs by its long tongue to get a nectar and insects. In exchange for food animal gives plants feed on their DNA and gelatinous mucus from the cervical spines that shine all the time. Dna is taken by a long lianas from which part of it is consumed. Rest of the DNA, the plant is dedicating to impregnate females.
Firstly, the plant takes DNA from male, then is looking for a female with different DNA. Then she is fertilized with cells and genes of the male by appendages on their neck - they absorb the 'seed' and it is then delivered into uterus of a doe and fertilizes the ova. Pregnancy lasts 22 months and birth looks normal then.

Both sexes do not pay attention to themselves, the plant is responsible for their survival. If all trees would be removed, the species would be seriously endangered. In the critical case of both sexes may 'accidentally' rub the outgrowths.
