    As is the case with many animals, the Melon marks his musical territory by rubbing his special scent against a vinyl record. This scent is remarkably both odorless and tasteless. These records, once etched by the Melon's scent, are identifiable by only and only the Melon from up to 50km away.
    Melons are truly one-of-a-kind creatures.
