Fansnapper

The fansnapper replaced its ancestor on Vivus Island. It has developed extra muscles on its tail-fan, allowing it to raise and flatten it at will. This has become especially useful for navigating the volcanic winds of the island. Other than this, its the same as its ancestor.

Individuals live for 5 years, reproducing the same as their ancestor. Chicks are born with golden feathers to blend in with the golden sands; their feathers dull as they age. If threatened, the chicks will attempt to hide by digging into the sand with their feet and tail.
