The '''River Hikahoe''' split from its ancestor the [[Hikahoe]]. It has become amphibious and lives in the waterways of Dixon-Darwin, except for Blocks. Those that live in Dixon-Darwin Boreal mainly live by small ponds. Most of the species live in rivers and wetlands. It has developed a longer streamline body for swimming. Its back feet now have webbing which it uses to swim with. Their tail has also gotten long and is used as a rudder. On the end the butt-nostril no closes air tight so it can holding its breath underwater without water leaking in. Its light golden coloration help it blend in with both the white Dixon soil and the Golden Darwin soil. |

Their beaks have become more duck-like and help it both eat aquatic flora but also sense small aquatic fauna that hide in the muddy river bottom. Unlike their ancestors they no longer climb trees but they still burrow underground for their dens. These dens are made in the river banks and are hidden underwater to hide from predators. Mating pairs will share these burrows. Their front claws are mainly used to dig these burrows but can also be used as a defense against predators. |
