The Tuki. For a long time, they’ve been living in the woods
near the Gulf of Bothnia in Finland.
Nobody knew them. Until now, they have been hidden in small dark dens and digging long maze under the ground.
As for what we know, their nourishment consists of tiny insects and water which they can extract out of air.
Like rabbits they belong to the Family Leporidae.
Because of the ongoing pollution of the earth by the humans, they're almost extinct.
To make things worse, they need others of their kind to keep a constant body temperature and
a lot of social interaction to survive.
Kept as pets, they easily get sick from nearby huge amounts of energy, pollution
or the absence of their natural surrounding.
That’s why they need us as companions but at the same time
they get sick from our exaggerated usage of energy.
The Tukis are rather quiet and slow creatures. With no other companions they really like to be petted.
They are very sensitive to the natural climate, so in wintertime they get
easily sick if it's too warm inside. In this case zits appear on their skin,
they can go blind, and faint.
They can be calmed down, by petting,
but usually what helps best is to change the room and therefore the temperature.
Every day spent as domesticated friends of man, they get more resistant (in terms of time) to their surroundings, but also more
sensitive (relating to the kind of pollution). So after some time, they also can't stand
energy waste in form of too much light. It's therefore better to turn down radiators and
use less light or have a good and relaxing walk with your pet. The next problem which
can occur in the second week is an allergic reaction to noise. This can be solved by choosing
other places to walk it or use less electric devices.
The last reaction is intolerance to all kind of electromagnetic fields.
So, in general speaking: Like the some birds in the wintertime, they need us.
And like the birds it's funny and educational to look after them.
The Tuki is representing a better future for all of us.
