Tundra Hook Tusked Waxface

The tundra hook tusked waxface has split from its ancestor the hook tusked waxface and has moved back to their ancestor’s home the Jaydoh Tundra. The tundra hook tusked waxface has not grown in length, but has become much more husky to deal with the cold environment. Its adaptations include large wrinkly legs and a thick white coat of feathers. They have multi-shaded purple spots to blend in with various types of purple flora. Their tusks became less curved, but much larger. They have large breathing and smelling nostrils and ears to hunt their prey and watch out for their only possible threat, the massive snoa. The tundra hook tusked waxfaces live in packs of usually three searching for prey. They are now diurnal to keep warm, but sometimes hunt a little bit into the night for some easy kills. Like their ancestor they are good at being quiet. Also like their ancestor when a tundra hook tusked waxface finds a target the waxface will slowly sneak up behind it and bite the prey’s neck. When dealing with their main food source the big-horned quilltail, because of how both of their tusks are shaped, when the tundra hook tusked waxface puts its tusks over the big-horned quilltail’s head the tusks will lock together and the big-horned quilltail will not be able to escape. Their thick coat of feathers protect them from the big-horned quilltail's back quills. This method is not as necessary with smaller prey like the whiskerpick and the icicleback. They also hunt the scaleback tamow during their annual migration south to the tundra. Due to the size and shape of it's tusks, they have evoled a flexable lip to help the eat meat. During the spring tundra hook tusked waxfaces will migrate north near the border between the Jaydoh Tundra and the Jaydoh Desert to mate and raise their young. They do this by follow the income of scaleback tamows. The female tundra hook tusked waxfaces will keep their young in the feathers on their tail and will feed them crop milk until they are capable of eating meat. The parents will then give them the riches parts of their kills. When they start to develop limbs and their snorkels start to disappear they will often venture away from the safety of their mothers tail and hunt small or baby fauna. When their old enough, they will leave pack to make their own, although they sometimes return to their childhood home if they get too scared or hungry.
