About Buppies

Wait...that's not a buppy?!
Mantabuppies are silly, playful, and very inquisitive. They have no sense of danger so parents must keep a close eye on them!

Mantabuppies start off as an egg, which is kept in a clutch of 6-10 eggs in a safe spot anchored to a reef or rocks. The parents will guard and care for the eggs, but the reef’s local Mantabu community will also chip in time to guard them so the parents can get some rest.

After four weeks, the eggs hatch. About 4-8 mantabu eggs in a clutch will hatch into buppies. The buppies are then moved to the parent mantabu’s pouch, where they’ll live for 6 weeks. All mantabu have a pouch, regardless of gender, so both parents can carry babies in their pouch. After 2 weeks from hatching, The buppies will open their eyes, and they’ll come out occasionally to float about and see the world!

After 10-12 weeks from hatching, they’re strong enough to swim on their own and move out of the pouch, and the parents will begin to teach them how to hunt and forage for food. They stay with the parents until they reach maturity after 6-8 years. Mantabu can live up to 80 years, but can only produce young once every 10 years.
