'''Icejumper leafshells''' live on the environment of sea-ice plains. Unlike their ancestor, they do not wade to obtain food. Instead they stand on the rim of a chunk of sea ice and plunge their beaks into the water to obtain food. They may also skim the surface of the water from their spot to obtain floating food items, such as [[snotflora]], [[Bubble Droopgea|bubble droopgeas]], and [[buoygea]]s. They prefer purple flora, with [[Marine Bubbleweed|marine bubbleweed]] being a favorite food. Their wider diet, preference for marine bubbleweed, different feeding technique and disinclination to swim means populations of icejumper leafshells and [[Wading Leafshell|wading leafshells]] can coexist. |

Their huge feet, akin to the paws of a polar bear, help them spread their weight on snow and sea ice. Though their huge, flipper-like feet make them even better swimmers than their ancestor, they prefer not to swim, for their shorter tails make it harder to keep their butt-nostrils out of the water. |
