Ancestor:Descendants:

When the leaping tree dweller was being constantly hunted by plume-tailed azelemurs, some have adapted to living on the ground and have evolved into boundwellers, which split from its ancestor. Since it lives on the dry ground, it had to adapt to its environment. In order to protect itself from predators, it has evolved a sharper tail-spike, which is used to slash its predators. It also uses its claws and kicking feet to defend from predators. In order to look out for predators, its lower set of eyes have evolved into eye-stalks that point backwards.

An important adaptation is a pair of small canines which are used to tear plants apart and make them easier to swallow. The boundweller can lift its long neck to reach for leafy palmshrub leaves.

During mating season the males fight each other to get a mate. The winner gets its mate, they start laying 3 to 5 eggs and females will sit on the eggs while the male collects grasses for its family. Each mated pair belong to an extended family of about 10 to 12; this group will travel together and feed.

The adults are able to leap and hop for long distances, while young and elderly walk similarly to Earth's great apes. When trouble is sensed, the young climb on to the parent's backs and grab on while the parents leap out of danger's way. However, the young only do this until they are able to hop.

Their color-changing ability is limited, with only the head and stripes changing color, and even then only for interspecies communication. Normally it stays purple to blend in with the grasses they eat but will appear as a bright red if there is trouble.
