So, what type of creature would a Tribble actually be? Mammal, insect, reptilian? All answers are welcome, some reasonable justification would be even better! Um, yes, I do tend to have odd conversations on road trips.....

Watching the original episode, I sort of got the idea that they were like a more extreme version of a chinchilla or an Angora rabbit.

Seriously? Tribbles are mammals of course. They lactate and reproduce sexually. They maintain a stable body temperature. Look for the naval on their underside, just above their genitalia.

I'm calling this chatfilter, but they are CLEARLY MAMMALS.
