Springing Ketter

The springing ketter replaced its ancestor. Save for a few adaptations it has changed little from its ancestor. First, its leaf has joints located at the points of the diamond which allow it to fold it up or expand it out. It will keep its leaf folded up when resting or walking, but will fold it out for gliding. Second, its back legs have become stronger, allowing it to run on its back legs for a short time. It is called the springing ketter for this reason, when threatened it will dash off on its hind legs, then jump up high and glide, when it reaches the ground again it will kick off with its back legs to get more air. Its last adaptation is expanding its diet to the lardworm, which it can now chase down and eat for added energy. It was so successful that it not only replaced its ancestor, but also its other relative, the wide-wing ketter.
