_______________________________________________
(Alice p.238): A {ngIbvay} is a weird animal found on Qo’noS that looks like a rock but can suddenly open up and stick out something and grab a piece of food (like a frog does with flies). It doesn’t do this very frequently, so I guess it makes sense to say it’s patient. But it’s really just not hungry very often.
