Corvisnapper

The Corvisnapper split from its ancestor the Mountsnappers. Like Earth's crows and ravens the Corvisnapper is an opportunistic generalist. It will scavenge on carrion as well as hunt for small prey. Their black color paired with their thick feathers help them in the cold of high elevations as well as polar biomes. Like their ancestor they have efficient lungs so as to cope with the lack of oxygen at high altitudes. Due to their now omnivorous diet, they have a variety of teeth with some sharp and suited for tearing flesh, and others peg-like for chewing on flora. The jaw shape is similar to that of Earth's insectivore birds.

Their claws help them grip cliffs and crags where they make their nests. Unlike their ancestors their wings are strong and larger than their ancestors were. In addition their tail rudder is more flat like a bird's tail feathers.So much so other feathers support the shape in a tail feather-like shape. This give them more control in how they fly. thus spending less energy when flying. Normally solitary, they tend to end up clustered around carrion resulting from other predators' kills. They are quite aggressive to each other and will fight for the scraps. They mate in the summer and will congregate in the hundreds.

The eggs normally take around two weeks to hatch, during which the mother shall not eat a thing and will simply stay with the egg, guarding it. After they hatch, they age rather quickly, reaching sexual maturity in just one and a half years and having an average lifespan of just 5. Their nests tend to be constructed on the side of cliffs, out of the way of predators, and are made from a mix of the stems and leaves of flora with own warm plumage.
