Ancestor:Descendants:

The ketterkeet split from its ancestor in Darwin Tropical Rainforest and Darwin Tropical Woodland. It has doubled in size alongside its primary food source, the rainforest trunkplage. Its greatest adaptation is its ability to rapidly flap its leaf-wing to provide extra thrust to its glide, to help with this the muscles attached to the leaf-wing have strengthened greatly. Its bones have hollowed out; except for the tip of the leaf-wing and the head to provide balance. The beak has become blunter and stronger for biting through the tough skin of the rainforest trunkplage fruit. Its diet has broadened to include the powder petitworm and the spiny raspworm. Its vocal chords (which are located in the butt-nostril) have increased in complexity, so much so that it can mimic the calls of other creatures (to some degree) which helps to confuse predators. Another small change is the ears have lost their green color, mostly out of the unnecessity of it.
