Far: This is a copy of the book I used when I was studying veterinary sciences. Green underlines are the abstract of it-- what'll interest you the most. Blue underlines are purely scientific jargon, which I don't think you'll care about. Red underlines are outdated data, since the book is so old. Yellow underlines are things that were unconfirmed theory at the time and still are.

01 - Foreword

[The entirety of this chapter is arguments and counterarguments delving into the ideological and moralistic ramifications of war and the use of flora and fauna on it, with Green Touch remarking a few times the pronounced, even irrational dislike Clover had for large-scale conflicts of any kind.]

02 - The Venerabilis Genum

The Venerabilis genum is an evolutive group consistant on the Venerabilis Diptera, Venerabilis Diapanum, and Venerabilis Cotiledon -which will be the main focus of this book-, three species of amorphous, intellect-bearing plants, distinguishable by extremely long lifespans, high degrees of mobility, and the capability to develop sentience and eventually sapience in the right conditions. [...] and highly resistant to cellular and genetic damage, albeit not nearly impervious to it as dragons and alicorns are.

While highly successful in nearly all environments, they aren't as widespread as one'd expect them to be. I theorize this is because of their naturally low birth rate-- Dipteras, the ones with the highest, produce one child every two years. ¹

Footnotes

1. While Venerabilis broodmothers are known to have dozens of their young around at any given moment, it's incredibly rare for any of these to ever reach adulthood and hence be able to produce offspring. Due to this, their population often spends centuries completely unchanged. ↩
