Cave Honker

The cave honker split from it's ancestor and moved to the Rabid Sandstone Caves. They moved there after climate change forced them to leave the desert. There they found food and shelter from the harsh sun. The cave honkers feed on cave brambles, a very unwelcoming meal of needles and thorns. To get past the cave brambles defenses, they have grown more rigged teeth to grind them up. Their inner mouth and tongue have thicker skin to protect them from the thorns. They are shorter than their ancestors to fit better in the caves. Being in the caves has caused the cave honkers to become virtually blind, and they can only see when their near the opens. To navigate in the darker regions between the light openings of the cave, they rely on their specialized butt-nostrils for echo location. They live in herds of 5-8 adults and their litter.
