The rainbow fraboo split off from its ancestor and moved to Darwin Tropical Rainforest. Here its colors have diversified, and are much more intense. This did not disadvantage it though. Its back is completely black, and with its new eating method of swinging its horns back and forth across the ground to gather food, its colors are normally hidden. However, if it feels a predator approaching, which it can feel with its more sensitive feet, or smell it, it lifts its head up, revealing its colors. Usually, this startles any the predator, but if it doesn't, it can retract into its shell just like its ancestor could. Its horns are smaller, but the size of its shell is the same.
