Fatty Diveskunik

The fatty diveskimo split from its ancestor, the diveskimo, and has spread throughout Northern Drake and Barlowe. Some of the diveskimos that spent much of their time inside the female box cryobowls adapted to filter-feed the abundant cryodome hydroutine out of the bowl. This lead to diveskimos that would, in addition to filtering out of the cryodomes, also filter the snow to feed on the numerous microbes that live inside the snow of Drake. Their new lifestyle meant that they didn't have to devote as much energy to movement as their ancestor, and their less powerful back legs became flatter and wider, to increase the photosynthetic area.

Photosynthesis is now their main source of energy, and they only filter feed to gain nutrients. To help break up ice and funnel snow into it's mouth, its lower jaw has become thick in the same way its legs did, and has grown longer. They prefer to spawn in cryobowls, but in biomes where they do not grow, they will spawn in puddles of snowmelt at spring.
