As the Fagamagalagalus population continues to increase, a team, which scientists have begun affectionatly calling the Fagaflamafamateam, of some of the best researchers and other scientists of various fields has been formed to further the study of the Fags.  Together they have given a name for the Fag species as a whole, which includes not only the Fagamagalagali, but also the Flamagali and Famagali.  This new name is Fagaflamafamalus. 

 

With the help of the teams linguistic scientist, Dr. Matthews, the Fagaflamafamateam is slowly interpreting the Fagaflamafamalus language, which has become much more complicated since the Fags branched into different species.  Dr. Matthews, who has actually created a language himself, has interpreted many different movements and gestures that the Fagamagalagali have done to mean certain things.  For instance, when a Fag lowers its head and turns its feet inward, that means the Fag is afraid of somthing.  This is just one of many movements that Dr. Matthews has interpreted.  Dr. Matthews has also been able to break down some of the Fags language, which differs slightly from that of the Flamagalus and Famagalus language.  The Fags communicate, besides body language, with a language consisted of different combinations and pitches of the three sounds "Honk", "Ah", and "La".  The most difficult part of translating this language is that the same combination of sounds, for example "Honk, Ahla", would mean two completly different things when said in a high pitch and in a low pitch.  This makes the Fag language even more in depth and complicated than the english language that many people speak.

 

Much is a mystery about the Fags, Flams, and Fams, but the biggest step of learning more about the Fags in particular is learning their language.  Many other things have been observed outside their language, but the information the Fagaflamafamateam has gathered about the Fags language has proved to be the most useful.

 

"The Fags are a very intricate creatures.  It is very hard to learn much about them, especially because all of these animals are wild.  We haven't learned nearly enough about the Fags to try to domesticate them.  Once we are able to tame one of them, we will learn so much more about them."  Says the team's linguistic scientist, Dr. Matthews.  Dr. Matthews stated later that the path to learning the Fags langauge would be simplified greatly if the one or more of the Fags were made domestic animals.

 

The Fagaflamafamateam tells that there is much much more research to be done, and that the path to finding all about the Fags, who at this time are their primary focus, is far from reaching a conclusion.

News has just been released that the Fagaflamafamateam's linguistic scientist, Dr. Matthews, is now in the hospital and very badly wounded.  It seems that Dr. Matthews went out to research the Fags by himself, and the Fags went hostile.

 

"I saw Dr. Matthews going out by the Fags after the sun went down."  Said Dr. Lafollette, a general researcher of the Fags.  "I knew he shouldn't have been wandering around by himself after dark, so I followed him to make sure he was ok.  I saw him go up to the Fags, but I didn't say anything because I didn't want to scare the Fags.  Dr. Matthews tried to imitate some of the behavior of the Fags to get close to them.  I think he was trying to make friends with one of them.  He believed that we should try to get one of them domesticated so we could learn more about them.  He lifted his head up and brought his legs in and kneeled on the ground.  This is what Fags do when they try to be friendly with another Fag.  But the Fagamagalagalus knew the difference between a Fag doing that, and a human imitating it, which shows that the Fags are even more intelligent than we thought.  The Fag let out a "Hoooooonk Ahlaaaaala!!!", which is apparently the Fag war cry, and all the Fags in the area, about 50, attacked Dr. Matthews at once.  I rescued Dr. Matthews, but I almost got mauled as well."  Dr. Lafollette explained to us that Fags, Flams, and Fams always travel in packs of anywhere from 20 to 100.  This was very unfortunate for Dr. Matthews. 

 

"He will survive, but he is going to need a couple of weeks to recooperate."  Said one of the Doctors taking care of Dr. Matthews.

 

The scientists on the Fagaflamafamateam are being very cautious now around the Fags, and unfortunatly all the research on the Fags' language is beig postponed until Dr. Matthews gets well.

Despite the cold weathers and the approaching holidays back in the states, the Fagaflamafamateam still continues their studies of the Fagamagalagali in temperatures nearing the 100's.

 

Dr. Matthews, though still healing from several cuts and bruises, as well as a broken arm and two fractured ribs, has come out of the hospital ahead of schedule.  He is feeling much better, and he is already continuing with his research. 

 

"He is very dedicated to his work."  Said fellow scientist, Dr. Ashley DeCamp.  "I don't think I would have been able to recover if the Fags had attacked me like that.  He is a very strong and independent individual."  Dr. DeCamp and Dr. C. Cooper are starting to research the Flamagali and Famagali.  They, along with a small team of three or four researchers, are going to study the behavior of the Fags and Flams, and then compare their results with that of the Fags.

 

"Things are going especially slow."  Said Dr. Matthews.  "The Fags have become even more territorial since my encounter with them."  When asked if Dr. Matthews would be returning to the states for the holidays, Dr. Matthews said "The Fags have become a huge part of my life, and I can't celebrate back in the states until I've unlocked the mysteries behind these intricate creatures.  It looks like this year I'm having Christmas with the Fags."

 

News Update!!!

 

February 2nd, 2006

 

It is unfortunate for me to have to report that the reporter that usually does the Fagamagalagalus updates has died. He tried to get close to the Fags, but without proper knowledge of how to interact with them, the Fags turned on him and killed him. Because of this, no one, with the exception of the Fagaflamafamateam, can be anywhere around the habitat of the Fags. Because of this, Dr. Holt will be doing the remainder of the Fag updates. The update following this will be an audio update (click on the link below) about the language of the Fags.

Note: The language for the Fags is the same for the Flams and Fams.
