Schrooms are considered a delicacy and are often only consumed at (or sometimes before or after) rites of passage such as the 'year 10 formal' or the 'deb ball'.
For those interested in wild life, the Bogan can be identified by their fur, which tends to be short on top, but long at the back and sides, and their distinctive odor, often described as skunk like.
Unfortunately, the species remains endangered in part due to natural selection, and in part due to cross breeding; there has been many reported cases of Morwell Bogans mating with an introduced species, the Bludger, as well as the Common Bogan, and there are few remaining full-bloods of the native Bogan species.

The Morwells consisted of Maurice "Blacka" Wellington, Eric "Bingy Bunny" Lamont and Louis Davis.
All the riddims are laid down in the rockers style; King Tubby's mix is suitably mellow and his use of ambient sound effects sparing and subtle.
