---|---|
The snoronk replaced its ancestor in the Ichthy Tropical Riparian. The snoronk has developed a very strong stomach acid, allowing it to consume many kinds of flora and fauna. The expansion of its diet has permitted it to grow double its ancestors size. They have spread to the Javen Tropical Woodland, Javen Tropical Scrub, Javen Savanna,and Darwin High Grassland in search of more food. The snornk has developed a fleshy extension at the end of its proboscis with many small teeth and a hard cover that the fleshy part can retreat under. Its skin has become leathery. Under its proboscis is an expandable throat pouch which helps the snoronk make simple vocalizations and can be filled with stomach acid to be sprayed onto predators from the proboscis. the males crest has larger and brighter and completely absent in the females.
They have become much more aggressive. Males keep a group of females with them. The males each have a large territory to guard. The males often fight over feeding grounds and over mating rights. Sometimes the males will fight until one is dead. If they are threaten by a predator, they will spray them with acid and charge them with their sharp horns and claws. If they kill the predator, they will eat it. In Spring, the females of each male will lay their egg in a collective mound of dirt and debris. The young when they hatch look like a mix between Uksip Terricola and the snoronk. The parent will vomit pre digested food for the young until they can forage with the adults of the group.
