Abstract: We have found through field studies that interbreeding between M.dianectis and M.deanitis has resulted in a new species, M.dumbassis.  This new species is primarily distinguished by its mating call, a painful, nasal drawl, in contrast to the hysterical, obnoxious laugh of dianectis and loud, frightening  yell of deanitis which are characteristic of those species. Although the homozygous species of Moonbatus are both known to be prone to aggressive behavior and species-specific forms of mental instability, this new heterozygous variation is highly susceptible to severe neurophysiologicial deficency, and is believed to be a primary host for the prion that causes the affliction known as cretardation (aka Coulter-Limbaugh Syndrome). For this reason, culling of the entire hybrid species in order to prevent further brain damage to the human population is recommended.
