Ancestor:Descendants:

The boreal crackplent replaced its ancestor, the cracking pipent in Flisch-Krakow Boreal and Flisch-Krakow Alpine. It has doubled in size and thrives without any predators. It eats mostly solar carnoferns but will time to time eat boreal supershrooms as well. It has developed stronger jaws and arms to help it break open the solar carnofern's tough bark. Its front set of wood teeth are serrated to help it cut like a saw. It has thick blubber and a dark gray back to help keep it warm. The coloring also helps camouflage it among the black flora during the summer when there is less snow. Its "butt-nostrils" has become shorter to retain warmth.

They travel in herds of 10 to 20. The herds consist of both males and females as well as juveniles. Females give birth to 3 to 4 offspring each spring. Many do not survive the first winter. They stay active all year round. In the winter they will dig out solar carnoferns in the snow. They do not move very fast and take their time making sure not to waste energy. When winter blizzards get bad they will huddle together with the juveniles in the center to keep them warm. This close social bonding not only strengthens the herd but encourage mating during the winter.
