They eat the spores that drift around [[Teledahn]], and are eaten by [[Shroomie|shroomies]]. Close inspection of the flapper shows that the central core of its body is comprised of a mouth with teeth. It seems logical that the flappers' "popping" into the air is to move higher in order to reach the spores on which it feeds and as a mode of transport. This is accomplished by closing its dorsal aperture, creating a vacuum under itself, and then the Flapper opens its dorsal aperture, causing an inrush of air. It is this inrush that causes it to pop into the air with great force. | They eat the spores that drift around [[Teledahn]], and are eaten by [[Shroomie|shroomies]].

Several "baby" flappers can be seen in the FryMan Aquarium in Sharper's Teledahn office. A small amount of research has also been performed by the [[D'ni Zoological Society]]. | ||
