The arctic hookmouth phlyer split from its ancestor; it moved southward and spends virtually all its life in the air gliding over the waters on its long wings. Much of its body has now become colored black to keep it warm in the cold air. The blood flow to most parts of the wings are minimum when in flight to cut back on losing heat. Its front legs are bent and used to hold their young due to no longer having enough building material for nests. The mating pair takes turns caring for the offspring during their early development, one holding them and protecting them on the ice sheet while the other goes out to collect food for the family. Breeding pairs are not for life, separating after the young leave them. At the base of its front legs are flaps of flesh which blood pumps through after moving through its black skin, this means that the blood is warm and in turn warms the young. Its hind legs are more paddle like and are used for pushing the phlyer across the vast ice sheets while sliding on its front legs rather than walking. During the long winters flocks migrate northward to Blocks Volcanic Island, Vivus Volcanic Island, Northern portions of Dixon Volcanic and Darwin Tundra where they rest and feed on the various coastal faunas.
