The '''neckeye''' split from its ancestor to inhabit the nearby rainy [[Wright Rainforest]]. It has evolved many different adaptations to its new biome, while the most noticeable is of course it colossal height it evolved to graze on the leaves of the tall rainforest trees. It also evolved much stronger legs to make its way in the forest and a thicker tail used for balancing its long body. They have much thicker necks. Also another easily visible adaptation is its eye arrangement. Its front eyes have become taller and have a bonier socket, the back
The neckeyes are monogamous and mate for life. They will build huge dirt and branches mounds for their nests. These nests are built near other mating pairs. They lay 3 to 4 eggs each year and will raise their young together. They take turns sitting on the nest as well as feeding the chicks pre-chewed leafs when they hatch. After a year the chicks join the herd as they migrate throughout the forest leaving leafless [[Stout Lamp-Palm|stout lamp-palms]] and mega orbitrees without low leaves. They reach sexual maturity after about 6 years and live and average of 28 years.
