Ancestor:Descendants:

The floating bandersnatch split from its ancestor, the blueback bandersnatch. It has become a full herbivore and has become more aquatic. It floats on the surface of the water looking for any floating fruit. However they will sometimes come to land to directly eat flora on the river banks.

Their "butt-nostril" has become longer to keep it from going underwater so much. Thus they can put their head underwater and still breathe. Their "leaves" are almost non-extant and just have vestigial nubs. Their feet have all evolved webbing to better help them paddle in the water while inside the body they have developed a large air sac to help them float on the surface of the water.

Males use their pink waddle and crest to attract females. The females do not have a waddle or crest. They stay in large "flocks" of up to 20 individuals and breed rapidly. They must breed frequently since they are easy prey. They can breed any time of the year as long as there is enough food.
