Having split from its ancestor, the beaked bandersnatch has developed its photosynthetic abilities by evolving a sail alongside its "wings" as well as its frill. A peaceful herbivore, it forms small herds of 8-10 members and tends to flee rather than fight when threatened. Youngsters are cared for by all herd members, and are fed pre-chewed flora as their beak, which is in fact a highly specialized jaw, is not yet strong enough to tear and chew them. They huddle together for warmth during the night and are very social with one another. They mate for life.
