With the evolution of the [[bannertail]], most of the
This presented itself with females who began to retain the eggs inside their bodies for longer and longer periods, while the eggs adapted to develop inside the mother. This got to the point where the mother never lays the eggs and they hatch within her body as small juveniles, having developed past the tadpole stage within their eggs before being born. Being born in their juvenile form, these youngsters would be able to survive without the need of spawning pools and thus cutting the population’s ties with spawning pools for good. By now, the rainbowtail was no more, the Drake Plains population having evolved into a new taxon. This new group of organisms are now known as the '''racing rainbowtail'''. The genetic bottleneck they went through has left its mark, however, as the racing rainbowtails have low genetic diversity as a consequence of their strained past.
