Polar Skysnapper

The polar skysnapper split from its ancestor the skysnapper. It is similar to it's ancestor except it has adapted to the polar environment. It now has downy feathers covering its body and is warm-blooded. It lays hard shelled eggs now and takes care of them in the ice caves. They pair for life and take turns taking care of the egg. They make their nests inside to protected ice cave in high ledges. They will build them very close to each other and will huddle together to keep warm. They use their sharp claws to hand on to the ice and snow as well as carving out the ice for the nest. They only have 1 to 2 eggs and will raise them until they are young-adults. Their wings and membrane are black so it can help them warm up better when the sun is out. Since they are deaf they communicate through gestures with their wings and tails. Normally they will go out to the coasts to get food but during lean times they can survive on just cave swarmers within the cave.
