It is a well known fact that fat tailed gerbils are more aggressive than their skinny tailed counterparts. Therefore, the fat tailed gerbil is likely to attack the skinny tailed gerbil because it is jealous of its dashing good looks. However, the extra weight added by the tail will slow the gerbil down to the point of its exhaustion by the time it has crossed the tank. The skinny tailed gerbil will then take advantage of the pooped fat tailed gerbil and begin to claw at vital spots on its body. After a few minutes the fat tailed gerbil will be turned into a finger coat and sold to the highest bidder. These quality finger coats are normally valued at 1,000 dollars but avid collecters are willing to pay up to 5,000 for the rare ones.
