Kankles: Patient Zero

Zippe-Tron Industries has stumbled upon what it considers to be a miracle.

“There it was lingering in the front of our Wisconsin based headquarters, mowing our lawn, The One, the first living being to have kankles,” stated co-founder, XXXXX.

Zippe-Tron scientists have not yet been able to determine whether the creature used to be a human.

“What we have been able to conclude is that the creature has no ankles, but definately has kankles and it is the worst case of kankles that we’ve seen to date. The creature has managed to stay mobile while having kankles. It seems to have evolved a thick layer of fat directly underneath the foot. It uses this large fat deposit to gracefully roll itself around, kind of like roller blades. This is the method it was using to mow our lawn,” said XXXXX.

While it has not been determined how the creature initially developed kankles, scientists at Zippe-Tron are positive the creature is the first kankle case known to mankind, and may very well be the key to unlock the great mystery that surrounds the cure to kankles. Zippe-Tron reports that the creature has been locked in a containment bubble until tests are conclusive.
