**Object Class:** Skótos[[footnote]]Skótos is defined as limited or ongoing research in an object.[[/footnote]]

**Special Containment Procedures:** All instances of SCP-9968 have been removed from the wild and split between Site-1912,[[footnote]]Locally named "Cypress."[[/footnote]] Site-1907,[[footnote]]Locally named "Grouse."[[/footnote]] and Site-1908.[[footnote]]Locally named "Seymour."[[/footnote]] No further instances are to be sent to Wilson’s Wildlife Solutions under any circumstances.

Unless specified, SCP-9968 instances are to be placed within a containment cell with acrylic viewing windows. Plastic materials other than acrylic should not be used for containing SCP-9968.

SCP-9968-A-64 is to be deployed to select sites within the Canadian West Coast to serve as plastic waste and trash disposal.

SCP-9968-B-1’s containment is to resemble the natural habitat of the Great Bear Rainforest as much as possible in its hybrid containment cell. Once a month, SCP-9968-B-1 is to be fed plastic waste from accumulated trash collected at Site-1907.

Select SCP-9968-D-20 and SCP-9968-D-21 instances are currently on loan to Sites 1912 and 1908 in a special pride theme exhibit.

SCP-9968-E-150 has been handed over to WWS as compensation for the damage caused by SCP-9968-B-1. Additional select SCP-9968-A-64, SCP-9968-D-20 and SCP-9968-D-21 instances have been sent to WWS for further compensation.

**Description:** SCP-9968 refers to species of animals consisting of anomalous edible plastic. Any shed fragments of SCP-9968 take twice as long as their non-anomalous counterparts to degrade in the environment.

**Discovery:** SCP-9968 was initially discovered on 12/26/1991 by Site-1912 personnel in the northern portion of the Great Bear Rainforest near Prince Rupert, BC. At the time, it was presumed that animals were repurposing plastic for their own use until a sample test of shed skin from a SCP-9968 instance found its anomalous properties. An SCP designation soon followed after a search of Hecate Strait found multiple SCP-9968-A instances.

From 01/01/1992 to 06/01/2007, Foundation vessels from Site-64 and vessels backed by Site-17 and Site-19 captured and secured every SCP-9968 instance. All instances were transferred to Sites 1912, 1907 and 1908. The last SCP-9968 instance was contained on 06/01/2007.

Since 2008, Wilson's Wildlife Solutions has repeatedly called for the aforementioned sites to improve the care of SCP-9968 instances or send them over to WWS. Between 2008 and 2019, money was raised and construction was conducted to expand WWS Center to take in the SCP-9968 instances. By 04/01/2019, WWS was capable of housing all SCP-9968 instances at Sites 1912, 1907 and 1908.

**Incident-9968-WWS:** On 05/01/2019, a call was received by Site-1907 in regards to health concerns about SCP-9968-B-1. At the time of the call, SCP-9968-B-1 was contained at that site.
[[div class="blockquote"]]
**Call_Log_05012019**
**Caller:** Wilson's Wildlife Solutions Representative Sera (On behalf of Tim Wilson)
**Receiver:** Site-1907 Board Member Kira, Site-1907 Director Min

Begin Log…

**Sera:** Hello?

**Kira:** Identify yourself.

**Sera:** Tch… I’m calling you on behalf of Wilson’s Wildlife Solutions. We’ve been made aware of the concerning treatment of SCP-9968 instances.

**Kira:** Hang on… I’ll connect you to our Site Director.

**Sera:** Say again?

//No response recorded for 120s.//

**Sera:** Hello?

**Min:** This is Site-1907’s Site Director. What are your intentions with our SCP-9968 instances? And why call us specifically?

**Sera:** Wilson has requested for the instances to be moved to WWS. Via the Boring Agreement,[[footnote]]Currently disputed by Cypress, Grouse and Seymour on WWS operational range limits since the 2017 Boring Agreement Amendment.[[/footnote]] you are required to do so given that SCP-9968[[footnote]]Instances held at Cypress, Grouse and Seymour did not have names at the time.[[/footnote]] can be raised here at WWS without holding back on your resources.

**Min:** Who told you about this?

**Sera:** Site-64 personnel.

//No response is heard for 30s.//

**Min:** Sera. We do not have an obligation to give you every animal anomaly that can be safely raised by your organization. You do not have jurisdiction over our anomalous animals.

**Sera:** Director, I am simply relaying the orders here. The Boring Agreement-

**Min:** I am aware of that agreement. You had to amend it with Site-64 to cover our province and expect us to follow that shit. We were never consulted, nor did we even sign it.

**Sera:** Director. We’re just worried about your SCP-9968 instances being mistreated and abused. I get that you don’t like the agreement, but you have an obligation to follow it.

**Min:** I am not going to repeat this again. Our SCP-9968 instances are being properly cared for and we are not going to let your Boring Agreement dictate our site’s choices. Tell Wilson that he has no jurisdiction in the Province of British Columbia, alright?

**Sera:** Director. Deflecting is not going to-

//Min abruptly hangs up the call.//

End Log.

**Followup:** Following the call, multiple calls were made to Sites 1912, 1907 and 1908 to force SCP-9968-B-1 to be transferred to WWS. Mediation efforts were conducted by Sites 17, 19 and 64 to enforce the Boring Agreement.

A deal was reached on 05/25/2019 between Site-1907 and WWS. In the deal, Site-1907 will hand over select SCP-9968 instances to WWS under the supervision of Site-64, Site-17 and Site-19 personnel assigned to oversee the transfer process. Site-1912 and Site-1908 pointed out that Site-1907 was effectively forced to sign the deal under the threat of losing all SCP-9968 instances to WWS.

Select SCP-9968 instances were sent to WWS in the days following the deal, including SCP-9968-B-1.

Wilson. An update on the SCP-9968 instances we've received.

They're adjusting well to our other critters. Some have made some new friends in the process. SCP-9968-A-64 has been very useful in cleaning up the plastic waste in our marine habitats. We've deployed a few of them to prevent anyone from trying to dump trash into those critter's homes.
 SCP-9968-B-1, or "Eden," has adapted very well to its new home and is expected to be introduced to a similar critter soon. I believe one of our current bear critters will be suitable for Eden to be with.
SCP-9968-D-20 and SCP-9968-D-21 are currently being evaluated on accommodations due to its constant shift in biological sex, while SCP-9968-D-21 is currently working with us to neutralize hazardous chemical spills.
SCP-9968-E-150 is cleaning up plastic remnants that we've been unable to find. In return we've harvested some reusable materials to help build any future enclosures.

Seymour kept the SCP-9968-C-44 instances for research purposes into SCP-9968 compositions. Regardless, the caretakers here believe that we've given the instances a happier home. You made the right call, Wilson. We've given them a place that they can thrive in.

It's nice to see our new arrivals adjusting quickly to our care. I've personally met the SCP-9968-A-64 and SCP-9968-D-21 instances. The right call was made and I am happy to have done so.

Please keep me updated if there are any changes to Eden. It would be lovely to try to introduce Eden to another one of our bear critters.

Wilson. We have a problem.

That anomaly that Grouse was forced to hand over is breaching its enclosure over and over again to eat from the trash cans. It’s a repeat behaviour of Eden escaping, eating trash, then returning to its enclosure as if nothing happened.

Attempts to prevent the escape attempts are failing with Eden successfully escaping each one. It managed to successfully break open a bear proofed trash can in the process. How do we handle this bear, Wilson? Because none of our methods are working so far.

I will let Site-64 know to send over a few researchers and figure out how to better accommodate Eden. I saw this critter escape while I was at the Wildlife Center and it’s breaking my heart that it’s stressing out our collection of critters over it. I fear that the frequent escape attempts will inevitably lead to a tragedy.

Wilson. An update on SCP-9968 instances.

Aside from the issue of Eden, we're making some progress in naming. However, we're still using the SCP designations[[footnote]]WWS was unable to name all instances in time before the 06/13/2019 call with Site-1907.[[/footnote]] for the time being.

As for the other SCP-9968 instances, we've seen some good changes at WWS from the anomaly's presence. SCP-9968-A-64 and SCP-9968-E-150 instances are currently deployed long-term to specific enclosures to help with cleanup. With permission from the American Branch of the Foundation, SCP-9968-D-21 is currently being used for chemical spill cleanup across several habitats under our supervision.

SCP-9968-D-20 instances are halfway through being named. Other than that, the caretakers are having a field day with the low maintenance requirements for these instances. I've heard only positive feedback about them so far.

We came to the conclusion that SCP-9968-B-1 associates trash cans with food. While your collection of SCP-9968 instances have proven useful to keep the center clean and free of garbage waste, SCP-9968-B-1 will do anything to eat garbage.

If SCP-9968-B-1 keeps escaping, then the time might be right to return it to Site-1907. I wouldn’t want you to deal with the aftermath of the damages over a bear running loose in your center.

Mitch, authorized by the Site-64 Director.

To all the Site-64 researchers who came to help us with our critter, I thank you for your efforts to do so.

It has come to a point where Eden is a hazard for us at WWS. Eden is eating into our operational budget just to repair the damages caused by escaping its enclosure. While SCP-9968-A-A is cleaning up our marine habitats, SCP-9968-D-B is cleaning up chemical spills and SCP-9968-E-A is removing the trash from our enclosures, Eden is breaking into our trash and leaving a mess. While I do want to keep Eden at WWS for longer, our finances will be strained if that happens.

I’ll be in contact with Grouse tonight. If Grouse decides to take Eden back, then we are to respect that decision. If not, then we’ll find a way to accommodate Eden and reduce the risk of escape.

Wilson.

**Caller:** Tim Wilson
**Receiver:** Site-1907 Director Min

Begin Log...

**Wilson:** Hello?

**Min:** Wilson? Why are you calling me? How is SCP-9968-B-1?

**Wilson:** Director. I can’t handle Eden anymore. It’s breaking out every single day and it’s stressing out our critters. We’re at our limit with our patience with this bear.

**Min:**  Funny for you to say that. Wilson. You really thought that a large plastic bear was something that you could handle? Let alone a polar bear?[[footnote]]The [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/critter-profile-the-polar-bear Ursus Maritimus] [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/uiu-file-2008-21 Incident] of 2008 where an anomalous polar bear wrecked havoc on an entire town. Incident led to the creation of the Boring Agreement.[[/footnote]]

**Wilson:** Do not remind me of that, Director. I’m forced to return Eden to you and break the deal.

**Min:** And who started that deal? Wilson?

**Wilson:** You do not have to remind me. Director. Remember the Boring Agreement before you attempt to capture another animal anomaly, alright?

**Min:** Assuming we ever decide to come to an agreement on the treaty boundaries. Wilson.

**Wilson:** That discussion will be for another time. Director. Right now, all I ask is whether you are willing to take Eden back to Grouse.

**Min:** You will break the deal if you do so.

**Wilson:** I’m serious. Director. The deal is being broken for the safety of everyone here at WWS. What do you want us to do when Site-64 and us are at our breaking point with Eden?

**Min:** . . . Wilson. I told your rep that you had no jurisdiction in British Columbia and yet you and your American Foundation reps had to shoehorn a deal in my face to make it like that. You wanted to prove yourself capable of handling that anomaly while undermining what we’ve already achieved. All of this over the belief that SCP-9968-B-1 was unhappy in containment. If you’re serious about returning SCP-9968-B-1 to us, then we’ll gladly accept it.

**Wilson:** . . . I understand, Director. Expect to see Eden back at Grouse within the next 48 hours.

End Log.

**Followup:** SCP-9968-B-1 was returned to Site-1907 on 06/15/2019 and has since been used for escape proofing containment cells. SCP-9968-B-1 has not repeated the same behaviour seen at WWS and Site-64.

Hello Caretakers.

Grouse has given us permission to keep the SCP-9968-E-A and select SCP-9968-A-A instances to assist with cleanup at our enclosures. This has been done to compensate for the damages caused by Eden at our center.

Further compensation has come in the form of SCP-9968-D-A and SCP-9968-D-B instances that are now being cared for full time by our caretakers. A naming contest will be held for the instances in the coming days.

While Cypress, Grouse, and Seymour have vehemently refused to support us for the foreseeable future. The compensation should be enough for us to clean up our image and improve the quality of life for our critters.

Wilson.

SCP-9968-B-1, aka Eden, has a niche for being a very mischievous escape artist. SCP-9968-B-1 will escape its containment cell, seek the nearest trash can for trash consumption, and then return as if nothing happened.

SCP-9968-B-1 has a dedicated hibernation cave built into its containment cell during its hibernation period.  During that time, personnel spend their time cleaning and maintaining the containment cell until SCP-9968 awakens from hibernation.[[footnote]]Length of hibernation is approximately 5-7 months between October and April.[[/footnote]]

Since 07/01/2019, SCP-9968-B-1 was deemed safe for personnel interaction. SCP-9968-B-1 enjoys the frequent back scratches and petting from personnel assigned to it.

Prior to 07/04/2019 SCP-9968-B-1's biological sex was considered indeterminable. On 07/04/2019, a thorough medical checkup confirmed SCP-9968-B-1 as hermaphroditic. A subsequent medical exam has found that SCP-9968-B-1 prefers a male appearance.
