Quilbil

The quilbil replaced its ancestor, and has spread across most of the land on Glicker. Its success is largely due to the appearance of the migrating phlyer. During mating season, the migrating phlyer will use the quilbil and its berries as a food source. The hard seeds hidden within the grape-like berries will pass through the digestive track of the phlyer, thus dispersing them across the land. Another adaptation of the Quilbil that has helped with its success is its trunk. The trunk brings the berries within the reach of large animals. As opposed to its ancestors berries, which were hidden in a bed of needles. The trunk also stores water much like a cactus, and thus it fares better in the desert. The leaves have also gotten softer than its ancestor to make the plant more appealing to herbivores whom can help spread seeds. The berries are now very sweet, while the leaves are very bitter, to ensure that the quilbils leaves are not eaten.
