Wadesnapper

The wadesnapper split from its ancestor the vermisnapper. It has grown much taller and has become amphibious. it now wades in the water feeding on small aquatic creatures. Its long legs help it keep its body outside the water. It will wait motionless until it sense prey and then uses it long snout to snatch them up. Due the the lack or large flora they must make their nests out of smaller flora and mud or sand. These nests becomes large mounds. They build them in colonies to help protect them against predators. The parents take turns looking after the nest and getting food. Males have orange fluff while females have grey fluff.
