The grazing diveskunik split from its ancestor, the diveskunik. Even after approaching glaciers covered Day Tundra Island and Justin Polar Bay, the diveskuniks managed to hang on to existence by spending much of their time inside box cryobowls. Some of these diveskuniks began venturing out of their cryobowls more and more often to find food to eat. These out-competed the ones that spent much of their time in the cryobowls, and natural selection favored the diveskuniks that spent more of their time out of their cryobowls, enough so they evolved into a new species, the grazing diveskunik. Their head has evolved so it bends downward, which allows it to graze more comfortably on their food. To help digest the glass and crystal flora, the hardened cellulose patches found on their legs has evolved to cover much of the inside of their mouth. Their tentacles have evolved into legs, which allow them to move by placing their front legs first, then middle, and then last. They still spawn in cryobowl species, but while a male will spawn into any cryobowl, the females now check for genetic material before spawning, and will then guard the cryobowl until the young diveskuniks are old enough to live on their own.
