What is "yeep"

Usage examples of "yeep".

The Yeep, with their narrow-range, starch-oriented metabolism, depended almost entirely on the puffdocks for a food supply.

Botany Bay, Olie worked his way across the surface of Flannigan, finding more and more dead Yeep from which he took tissue samples, until his course brought him back in sight of Botany Bay station.

Terrans spread out from the three tall pods of the station to protect the inflatable sheds which housed the breeding stock of Yeep and the experimental flocks of both the new and old strains.

The old Yeep had stubby ears, a pair of curved, black horns, were covered with a thick, gray wool, and had four stubby legs which terminated in four-toed, manlike feet.

Their relationship with the other Yeep was evidenced by two small, vestigial toes, on either side of the foot, located above each half of the hoof.

Outside, the shouting was drawing closer, as the Gratchii warmed to their task of stealing as many Yeep as they could cart off.

They were hopping up and down in one spot and howling, with the earsplitting shriek that had inspired the Terrans to call them Yeep in the first place.

Gratchii would snatch up a groggy, confused Yeep, and start hot-footing it for the snow ramp over the stun-fence.

Terrans were trying to gather up the loose Yeep as fast as they could.

Once in a while, a Terran technician would grab hold of a Yeep at the same time as a Gratchii grabbed hold of the other end of the same animal.

Through his glassane window, he saw the Gratchii begin to thin out as most of the Yeep were secured by scurrying Terrans.

Gratchii trotted laboriously past, just outside the window, lugging a Yeep under each arm.

Olie could just engineer a way to reveal his Yeep to Elsa without getting laced up one side and down the other by her temper.

I care more about it than I do about you, or the Yeep, or the Gratchii, or this whole crummy icebox of a planet.

By that time the Yeep will be extinct and the Gratchii will be starving to death.
