Ancestor:Descendants:

The Pampobison has Replaced it's ancestor, the Amplafeo in the High Grasslands and High Deserts of Yokto, but not in the North Tundra. This is because it has added plants to it's diet, and, like it's distant ancestor the Pappopanton, has become the top omnivore in the Arctic Circle. it's front legs have become bulkier and stronger than ever, and it's tail has curved into a third leg with a thick flipper-foot. This stronger gait allows the Pampobison to run and charge against predators, prey and enemy Pampobison. Its blubber got much thicker than ever before, even more than the Totoro, one of it's bigger dishes (a.k.a. prey), and can even withstand it's sharp claws. The only thing that can penetrate it's skin is another Pampobison's two newly developed horns and/or gigantic mouth, (which looks like a Hippopotomas' mouth and has a jaw force of 400 psi.) It's feet also look's like a Hippo's and have spikes on it's feet for a better hold on the ice while moving. It has also developed Sexual Dimorphisum (a male has a taller sail tissue and a longer 2nd horn than a female's.) because of it's size, it requires to swallow stones to help digest food. At a staggering 4.4 meters in size, it can easily compete for food with other animals.

It usually eats plants during the summer, and usually eats meat during the winter. The western subspecies of Glicker move to the Northern Tundra during the summer, and migrate back the Yokto Region during the winter. While the hardy eastern subspecies of Wright inslulate during the Winter. Both subspecies can interbreed with each over, however, as they share no physical differences from one another. They also still love to swim and wade in the water like their ancestors did. This comes in handy when forced to cross rivers during migration. They live just like their Pappopanton ancestors some 25.5 million years before, with these exceptions: they now roam in herds up to 40. (one pair of the herd splits up to start a herd of their own when the herd exceeds 40 individuals) They form a defensive circle around their young,(like musk ox do) when threatened and when asleep (so infants rarley fall prey to predators at night) And that during the mating season, all adult males become very aggresive at each other, which lead to fights (at which both competators charge at one another, clashing their horns and mawing each other) for the title for dominant male. These animals also weigh a ton and have an average lifespan of 35 years.
