Splitting from its ancestor, the '''ninth lake skimmer''' mainly feeds at the surface of the lake, avoiding competition with the [[Midwater Saltswarmer|midwater saltswarmer]]. In order to escape from predators, it has developed the ability to lead above the water for a few feet, not very far, but enough to cause ripples and confuse predators. To do this it has well-muscled fins and has adapted its tail to make a better fin. Since it relies less upon camouflage, it still retains strong photosynthesis over portions of its body the provide a bit of extra nutrients, and, like its relative the midwater saltswarmer, it has developed basic hearing ability in the form of sensory nodes along its sides that detect vibration. |

Splitting from its ancestor, the ninth lake skimmer mainly feeds at the surface of the lake, avoiding competition with the midwater saltswarmer. In order to escape from predators, it has developed the ability to lead above the water for a few feet, not very far, but enough to cause ripples and confuse predators. To do this it has well-muscled fins and has adapted its tail to make a better fin. Since it relies less upon camouflage, it still retains strong photosynthesis over portions of its body the provide a bit of extra nutrients, and, like its relative the midwater saltswarmer, it has developed basic hearing ability in the form of sensory nodes along its sides that detect vibration.
