The reaching hoofbear has split from its ancestor. When some blind hoofplents wandered out of the Ferret Limestone Caves into the Darwin High Grassland at night, they found themselves in a place far different from what they have lived in for years. Some of these blind hoofplents died, but others managed to adapt to their new environment. The reaching hoofbear has re-evolved pigment that not only gives it better protection from the sunlight, but also acts as camouflage that hides it from potential predators. While it has regained its eyesight, it mostly uses hearing and it is crepuscular, which means that it is awake primarily during dusk and dawn. The reaching hoofbear gets its name because it has evolved several ways to help it feed on the arid sapshrooms and arid ferines. It has done this by not only becoming taller and evolving a longer neck, but its whiskers have modified into dextrous tentacles that allow it to pull arid ferine branches toward its mouth. However, because the arid ferine's leaves are sharp, the skin around the tentacles and mouth have become thicker.
The reaching hoofbear now lives in small herds that consist of 7-10 members that are all led by one male. The reaching hoofbear has also evolved a set of sharp teeth that are used for biting and fighting off rival males that would seize the herd for themselves. They no longer use echolocation since they have regained their eyesight and live in more open areas. The reaching hoofbear also stands completely on its wooden hooves. They now live to be 10 years old. Other than these changes, it is much like its ancestor.
