Ancestor:Descendants:

The archipelago uktank replaced their ancestor, and have fully adapted to the tropics of the Ramul-Steiner region. They fill a niche identical to their Laetiticoncha relatives, acting as forest grazers. Their top beaks are act as hocked trunks, which they use to dig flora off the ground and into their mouths. Their hearing is much more improved than that of other Drake uktanks, as they us them to seek out humflora to forage. Like its ancestors it will store up water in its hollow shell. The shell quickly fill up with water in holes and then are sealed off via a skin-like membranes once they come to land. Their strong legs help carry the weight of the water. They do this in order to have water to breathe. Their skin has mucus membranes that keep them moist on land, and their pigmentation has darkened to provide more protection against UV damage.
