Ancestor:Descendants:

The montemsnapper replaced their ancestor. They have continued to grow larger, and have developed a thick coat of fur to protect from the cold. They are still nocturnal, hunting small creatures that hide near the ground. They nest high on the mountains, away from potential predators. The parents take turns watching the young, with one sitting in the nest while the other hunts for food. Their coloration has darkened, both to keep them warm in the colder climates and to help them become near invisible to prey at night. They breed during the spring, and during winter will venture down to more temperate climates to find food and nesting materials. Like their ancestor, they are solitary.
