The marine woollycoat split from its ancestor, the woollycoat. It has grown to twice its ancestors size and is now amphibious. It is an opportunist who eats just about any little scurrying creature it can get. The polar waters of Wind and Colddigger are high in diversity. So much so there is both plenty to eat and plenty to get eaten by.

Their woollycoats now are supplemented by waterproofing oils. This means it can stay "dry" when swimming in the cold waters. Its feet too are now webbed and help it swim They paddle on the surface of the water and use their eyes to spot prey below. Once spotted it will either snatch it out with its prehensile tongue or dive in after it. Its butt-nostril now can close up when submerged under water. it expels excess salt out of its eyes and can look like it is crying.

Like their ancestor they are social creatures. They live in large beach colonies and in which they build their nests. While they give live birth their offspring stay warm in the woolly coated nests. The parents take turns hunting for food both on land or in the ocean. When it gets too cold the beach colony will huddle together for warmth. Their offspring grow up fast. They are birthed in the summer and leave their parents as adults by winter. Each spring the males will butt heads over females. Each pair up for that year. While not always monogamous many females choose the same male year after year.
