Oucher-pouchers are a semi-sapient species native to Venus presented as an imaginary example of extraterrestrial life in the non-fiction book Pictured Atlas of Our Universe, by National Geographic.
Biology[]
Oucher-pouchers exhibit bilateral symmetry and a round body. They are bipedal tetrapods, showing some dexterity with their upper limbs. They have a tail just slightly shorter than their body. However, their preferred method of locomotion consists of inflating their pouch-like bodies and bouncing off.
Their diet consists of metal and rock, and at least one specimen has been observed to feed on the remains of a human-made space probe from Earth.
