Snorkpiper

The snorkpiper split from its ancestor the buttpiper. It is now amphibious and feeds on aquatic flora in Pipcard waterways. The have grown twice as large and lazily spend their time eating and sleeping in the water. Their snorkel-like butt-nostrils allow them to breathe while submerged. If they go into deeper water their butt-sacs and lungs can store air for hours.

There are no real predators so their population has boomed. Rivers can be packed with them and they are only limited by the amount of food available. Like their ancestor they use their "butt-sacs" to attract mates. These calls are very complex ranging from warning signals to mating rituals. They still live in social groups and migrate around grazing. Their snorkel-like butt-nostrils give them their own unique call.
