Ancestor:Descendants:

The ouranocorn split from its ancestor, the desert tilecorn. It has moved to higher elevations. It has grown twice as large as its ancestor and now has a back sail to help regulate its heat even in cooler climates. Their hoofed feet help them climb rugged environments. And its longer neck allows it to reach up to tall trees and show off its colorful dewlap.

Like its ancestor it communicates using its color changing neck frill. They are deaf and must rely upon sights and smell. Its horn is mainly used to attract a mate and is not very useful defense anymore due to its huge size. However it can still scare off predators.

Since they still lay frog-like eggs they must find puddles and ponds in the spring with the snow melts. Their offspring show up quickly before they dry up in the summer. Juveniles start out eating smaller flora and work their way up to larger flora. Most adults live in Dixon Boreal due to the larger flora. Then the migrate down to lower elevations to lay their eggs.
