Ancestor:Descendants:

The dusksnapper split from its ancestor and adapted to eating the sky phlyers. They are nocturnal, hunting their prey when they are sleeping. They use their wings and claws to grip onto their preys underbellies, puncturing their hydrogen bladders with their tusks so they can drag them to earth easier. Dusksnappers are in direct competition with duke yuuvee, but usually end up eating them if they ever encounter. The young that are too small to eat large prey will practice their flying skills by eating the parasite phlyers. Their downy feathers have turned dark blue in order to blend in when the moon shines. Their sense of smell has improved, allowing them to hunt in the dark. They sleep on the sands of the eastern Drake-Darwin coastline during the day, waking as the sun leaves the horizon. They sleep in large groups, huddling well away from the surf.
