Hoof-Clawed Skimsnapper

The hoof-clawed skimsnapper split from its ancestor. It has moved out into LadyM Ocean and expanded its diet, it has increased in size and its jaws have grown in strength to accommodate the larger prey. It is a stronger flier and can remain airborne for a longer period of time, however it will land on the symbioship diamiboard to rest; while on it it will sometimes (though rarely) eat the herbivore urstar and symbioship foi. They will come in late winter to the Dass Coastal region to mate and lay their eggs, their young will be fully raised by late summer and will return with their parents to the ocean. If they are attacked while raising their eggs/young they will scoop them up into their pouch and fly away. Another adaptation is that the claws on their forearms have become hoof-like in structure, allowing them to walk more easily. When threatened on the ground they will attack with their hoof-claws and teeth, while in the air they will dive bomb claw first at the attacker. Their feather patterns has blue stripes to give passive camouflage with the ocean water.
