Giant Capiri

The giant capiri split from its ancestor the rocky capiri and doubled in size to feed on the upper parts of plants, its toes became longer and it stands on the tips also for this purpose. Its neck lengthened and became free from the sail to give it more mobility for feeding and drinking, the sail is now used for collecting morning dew which the giant capiri drinks. The beak became tough and hooked for tearing open the armored bark of the firefur, allowing the giant capiri to feast on the sap and softer inner plant. They have become less social, and very aggressive towards other individuals of either sex, rarely interacting pleasantly when the intent is not breeding. They fight using their long head-crest to flip the enemy and slash at the underbelly with their beak. The number of offspring, from time of hatching to time of leaving the nest, is normally cut in half from sibling competition.
