Longisketter

The longisketter replaced its ancestor in Darwin. The scales on its back have split into a double row of wing-like extensions, which it uses for gliding; it has still retained a small row of bumpy leaf-scales along its back. It has muscles connected to the upper part of these scales which it uses both for stearing and to pull the scales up along the top of the body. Combined with its muscular legs and smaller size, it can cover at least 5 meters with each leap. Its underside is colored purple to help blend into the leaves of the Qupe Tree and Tubeplage while gliding. They prefer to live in the upper parts of flora both for protection and as gliding platforms.

Its diet is basically the same as its ancestor, however it will now eat sometimes eat krugg eggs for the protein and fat content. With the onset of the tubeplage it has regained its anchient ancestor's behavior of eating the flora's sweet fruit, resulting in the longisketter to move to the tropical rainforest.

Individuals live for 6 years. They mate for life with the females taking 2 weeks gestation before giving birth to a batch of 2-3 babies. Young are born with smaller gliding scales, but bigger bumpy scales on their back. Because of this the female will birth the babies in the tops of flora so they have more access photosynthesis; parents will take turns bringing them regurigated krugg eggs and fruit for other necessary nutrients. Young will take a year to grow, the adults simultaneously teaching them to glide in the last weeks of childhood. Young males will have gliding races to impress females, who will pick mates based on airtime and speed.
