Habitat
The Nettas Chihabatron's native habitat is Sydney suburbia's wild west, explaining her sophisiticated swear-word vocabulary and her unusual appreciation for rugby league, rock climbing and boxing.She has recently been spotted fighting her way through the crowd of 99 first cousins to grab the last lamb kebab at a Chihabatron family BBQ.The Nettas Chihabatron specie is highly fertile. Concerns of possible extinction have been allayed due to blood links identified in Lebanon, Venezuela, Brazil and Canada.

Food Groups
A proudly carnivorous animal with high levels of energy, she can be seen devouring platters of meat much to the disgust of her herbivore neighbours.
The Nettas Chihabatron is sometimes classified as a nocturnal animal having been caught on camera ordering three cheeseburgers in the wee hours of the morning.

Evolutionary Influences
Oscar Wilde for his wit and feminine ways. Khalil Gibran for his literary prowess and for forcing the western world to pronounce the guttural "Kh" which provides much entertainment to native Arabic speakers.
Also, Mills and Boon novels for the insightful lessons on the art of mating.
She can be found listening to Jeff Buckley, Grinspoon, Lior, Silverchair, Ben Lee, Powderfinger, Alex Lloyd Sparkadia and The Hilltop Hoods.

The Nettas Chihabatron is often recognised by her palm-sized hoop earrings (which double as a weapon) and her dark, tangled mane. She is also known to spit when excitedly telling a story.

Predators
The Nettas Chihabatron was reporting on scary white supremacists on Australia Day who hope to put an end to the immigration of her species to Australia.
