Line 32 ⟶ 26:
The sitting dundi's gastrointestinal tract is loop-shaped. It has two valves, one of which prevents a bolus (a ball of ingested food) from going up, and the other valve prevents a hornball from going down. Usually, a sitting dundi's intestine holds two hornballs as "ammunition", but the intestine can store three.

Their diet of organisms with a global distribution means they also have a wide range. Some populations even live on the Darwin coast and the lower parts of the [[South Darwin Rocky]] environment.

Line 41 ⟶ 36:
They feed much like their ancestor, but even more lazily. A sitting dundi will lick its claws and hold them out to catch flying insect-like organisms. It often sits on a rotting carcass, which both dartirs and xenobees are attracted to. It only licks its claws to catch prey, and never to clean them. Thus, the claws can become very stained with blood and even excrement.

Line 46 ⟶ 42:
Its throat, originally wide to accommodate hornballs, also allows it to survive birthing offspring too large for its ancestor to manage. Despite its ability to birth larger offspring, its reproductive strategy relies on having fairly large litter sizes, rather than heavily investing in one offspring.
