The Jinxsonite

The Jinxsonite is the beast with the highest mortality rate of the animal kingdom.
It is estimated that in one brood, and only once per year, the Jinxsonite gives birth to eight hundred and forty-three thousand seven hundred and sixty-three dot two (843.763,2) cubs. Yes, eight hundred and forty-three thousand seven hundred and sixty-three dot two (843.763,2) cubs, of which only twenty-four dot zero five survive. This fact marks the Jinxsonite for the rest of its life. Socially secretive and repressed, the Jinxsonite avoids mating at all cost, for that would mean to bear the loss of eight hundred and forty-three thousand seven hundred and thirty-nine dot fifteen Jinxsonite cubs. Thus, mating amongst these beasts is almost accidental, which would come to explain the huge amount of cubs in each brood.
