Ancestor:Descendants:

Splitting from its ancestor, the slender seaswimmer has shrunken in size in order to exploit smaller prey. Forming small packs of five to six individuals, they hunt down their prey, corralling schools of prey should they come across and then take turns darting in and out in order to feed. Their needle-like teeth help them by preventing slippery prey such as filtersquids and gilltails from escaping their jaws. They breed once a year, producing several offspring that eventually all head off on their own and either join an established pack or start their own. Females are roughly ten cm longer than males.
