The standing ukslerp split from it's ancestor and moved into the uninhabited Fermi Alpine and Fermi Boreal region. They are still colonial thought the colonies are much smaller consisting of only a few dozen individuals. A colony is started when a group workers, guards and a single queen find a gully with a stream. Workers then begin excavating the gully to make it deeper an more uniform, piling the excess into an earthen dam at the mouth of the gully and into large mounds near the middle of the pit. The resulting pond is then used for cultivation of large algal blooms which the colony will feed off of and for the raising of the young. Often, one or more of the workers will bring a mouthful of water from there birth pond to seed the new pond with the best strains of algae.
While all of this is important the most striking difference between the standing ukslerp and it's ancestor is the configuration of the legs. Because they are specialized for digging above ground ponds and transporting dirt the inner pair of limbs have bean modified into large scoops and the outer pair have become column like legs ending in hoofs to support the weight of the organism and to keep the scoops from dragging on the ground . Because of there configuration they have difficulty fitting into tight burrows, thus they spend most of there time on the surface nesting in wide, shallow burrows on the island mound in there ponds
