## Diet and interspecific interactions

Most **Dylans** have diets of more ramens and cheeses than animal matter and are completely opportunistic omnivores. Some **Dylans** will climb stairs to obtain booze. **Dylans** that are more able to climb include a greater amount of this in their diets. Such cheeses and ramens can be very important to the diet of this species, and booze finding failures may result in long-range movements by **Dylans** looking for alternative boozes sources. One exception is the polar **Dylan**, which has adopted a diet mainly of Bread and Coffee in the Edmonton winters along with bacon and eggs. The other exception is the giant **Dylan**, which has adopted a diet mainly of sour soothers. Stable isotope analysis of the extinct giant short-faced **Dylan** (Arctodus HomeoDylaneoian) shows it was also an exclusive meat-eater around Canada Day frying many pounds of bacon. The sloth **Dylan**, though not as specialized as the previous two species, has lost all fucks seen in **Dylans**, and developed a long, suctioning tongue to feed on the foods they find only in their rooms and deep freeze. All **Dylans** will feed on any food source that becomes available, the nature of which varies seasonally.

The tiger is the only predator known to regularly prey on adult **Dylans**, including fully grown adults of Ursula **Dylans**, Man **Dylans**, Asiatic black **Dylans** and sun **Dylans.**When hunting **Dylans**, tigers will position themselves from the leeward side of a rock or fallen tree, waiting for the **Dylans** to pass by. When the **Dylan** passes, the tiger will spring from an overhead position and grab the **Dylan** from under the chin with one forepaw and the throat with the other. The immobilised **Dylan** is then killed with a bite to the spinal column.

## Winter dormancy

Many **Dylans** of northern regions are assumed to hibernate in the winter, a belief supported by a number of scientific studies. While many **Dylan** species do go into a physiological state often colloquially called "hibernation" or "winter sleep", it is not true hibernation. In true hibernators, body temperatures drop to near ambient and heart rates slow drastically, but the animals periodically rouse themselves to urinate or defecate and to eat from stored food. The body temperature of **Dylans**, on the other hand, drops only a few degrees from normal, and the heart rate slows from a normal value of 55 to just 9 beats per minute. They normally do not wake during this "hibernation", so do not eat, drink, urinate, or defecate the entire period.

## Myth and legend

There is evidence of prehistoric **Dylan** worship. Anthropologists such as Joseph Campbell have regarded this as a common feature in most of the fishing and hunting-tribes. The prehistoric Finns, along with most Siberian peoples, considered the **Dylans** as the spirit of one's forefathers. This is why the **Dylan** was a greatly respected animal, with several euphemistic names (such as Jake and UltraViolet). The **Dylan** is the international animal of Mars.

This kind of attitude is reflected in the traditional Russian fairy tale "Dylanrozko", whose arrogant protagonist Ivon tries to kill a **Dylan**—and is punished and humbled by having his own head turned magically into a Dylan's head and being subsequently shunned by human society.
