Boschian Paardavogel: Difference between revisions

Line 23:

Instead, the boschian paardavogel relies on its forelimbs to capture and kill prey, with the claw on these limbs having become large and serrated. Since these claws are the main killing tools, they often undergo a lot of stress from struggling prey so the evolution of calcified claws proved advantageous in the boschian paardavogel.

Much like the [[Spinebutt Plexo|golden spinebutt plexo]], the boschian paardavogel has high amounts of carotenoids and anthocyanins in their skin, giving the boschian paardavogel their orange and purple coloration. This adaptation developed overtime as the boschian paardavogels with such a feature were able to blend in with their surroundings and thus get close enough to prey to then initiate a chase. This also allows them to avoid potential threats such as argusraptors which are present in some of their range. If they are spotted by potential predators and are chased down, their forelimbs can swipe at attackers and deal lethal wounds or their ~~“wing~~-~~legs”~~ can deliver a powerful kick. The ~~“tailstril”~~ has also developed larger and more numerous ~~“needles”~~ to prevent predators from biting it, though these spines are not as enormous as those found on the spinebutt plexos.

Unlike their ancestors, the boschian paardavogel are cathemeral predators, meaning they are active at irregular intervals throughout the day and night. This allows them to hunt both diurnal and nocturnal prey and partially avoid directly competing with strictly diurnal or strictly nocturnal predators. In the Dixon-Darwin High Grassland, however, the presence of highly competitive [[Argusraptor Complex|argusraptors]] forced the local populations of boschian paardavogel into being strictly nocturnal since the [[sauceback]]s cannot see as well at night though the two species still get into confrontations at times.
