The wading leafshell was in decline in the crowded waters of Fermi Polar Coast, especially with the success of its close relative the icejumper leafshell. Thus it was pushed out to a nearly empty neighboring biome, Fermi Polar Coast. There they found endless groves of fermi tuffdra where no other large herbivore was feeding upon them. And there were no large predators on the coast. Sure there were some on the beach but they were already adapted to wading in the water where they did not have to come to land. There their populations soared and evolved into the fermi leafshell.
Like their ancestor, the fermi leafshell keep its head underwater feeding while its butt-nostril is always out of the water. Their photosynthetic shells were no longer needed for protection from predators to it go smaller. The rest of their green skin was just as useful for photosynthesis as their leaf shell. And their front limbs were so small and useless over the generations it finally disappeared from view. Only small bones within the body still retain of their front limbs.
They travel in large herd 50 to 100 members. Where the population is only limited by the amount of fermi tuffdra to sustain them. Unlike their ancestors they no longer need to migrate and stay in the temperate waters of Fermi Polar Coast all year. Like their ancestors their offspring ride on their backs until they are tall enough to wade in the water. The adults sleep standing up in the water.
Their ancestor is now extinct in Fermi Polar Coast.
