Sanashi

The sanashi replaced its ancestor, the megatusk sauceback. Its ancestor was a bit front heavy and would use its tail to prop it up. Over time the tail evolved into a 3rd foot and now when walking they have a tripod walk. However when sprinting they will lift their tail and use only 2 limbs. like their ancestor they have tusks which are used to defend against predators and for males fighting over mates. Their mouth has become a longer trunk with a beak on the end. This beak helps grasp and snip off pieces of flora to eat. Their back shell has become larger and wider to form short of a head shield. This makes them look larger and more intimidating. It also helps attract mates. Like their ancestor, they are completely herbivorous and survive off what little flora there is. The adults will dig holes with their tusks for their eggs to grow in. They make sure to bring the hole water and glass flora for their larva to eat when they hatch. Both the mother and father will protect and care for their brood until they reach adulthood. Once the larva grow into adults they join the herd and feed on mainland chime slingberrys. While blind they navigate through their sense of smell and hearing. They have huge bellies because digesting flora takes much longer. They sometimes even eat stones to help with digestion. These stones stay in their gizzard. During the winter, they will grow thick white feathers and then shed them in the spring and have a red-rusty coat.
