The fangs of the lotan have lost the dimorphic nature of their ancestors, wherein one was notably larger than the other, even if it was already limited within [[Ringtail Limbless|ringtail limblesses]]. This came about due to a lack of selection for the trait, as well as due to their change in diets. With a gradual switch from larger prey to smaller species, as well as the inclusion of much more fruit in their diets, smaller fangs were selected for and thus became the norm within the species, much like it once was countless generations before.
Reproduction is not that different from other limblesses, though some changes in parenting has occurred. Two individuals will meet up, and should conditions be right - both adults are healthy, well-fed, etc... - they will go on to copulate. Once mating is done, they will work together to dig out a burrow so that they can raise their young within it. With up to three dozen young born at only around 3 to 4
