Are Tribbles are alien pets?

The sea of the changeling planet, covered in an ever deeper layer of tribbles.

I'd like to think that tribbles would find changeling goo tasty.
Here we go:
Jimbo Kirk's Deep Fried Tribble Gumbo.
Sounds like State Fair of Texas food. They deep fry everything. And it's good.

Has OP confirmed the title is not a typo of "pests"?

How come Tribbles wasn't on TNG? I wonder how Worf would react if he saw tribbles? After all Worf is half human.

 

[trekshark]

Worf is full klingon biologically, just raised by humans. Alexander is quarter human
The tribble Odo had did not react well to Worf iirc in the DS9 episode

 

[The Wormhole]

Also, according to DS9, Tribbles are extinct in the 24th century, explaining why we never saw any on TNG.

Of course, there's the idea presented by the "filk song" composer Voltaire.

But given the tighter rules governing this site, I dare not directly link the video. It's rather, uh, "randy".

Just go to YouTube of your own accord and type the words "Voltaire" and "tribbles" within the search field.

Just be prepared to either be offended or laugh off your a$$, or both!

Sincerely,

Bill

Find an unpopulated planet somewhere in space and just drop them all there to live a happy existence on their own?

It may lead to the first time in cosmic history that a planet is knocked completely out of orbit by the weight of its own inhabitants.

Would one be likely to find a Tower of Tribble there, do you suppose?
