Ancestor:Descendants:

The tall snoa replaced their ancestor in the southern polar regions. They are solitary creatures, preferring to stay alone in order to conserve food. They have very small brains in order to save room for their massive jaw muscles, which have a bite force of 1200 pounds psi to crack through their iron coatings of various organisms. Males have a red crest while females have a black one. If more than one male attempts to mate with a female, they will fight with each other by shaking their backs to wave their sail and making a dull "Vern!" sound. The winning male will then dance around the female in a mating dance. If she dances back, she accepts. The mother will only take care of the young for three weeks, then will abandon it to fend for itself. They reach full size in one month, but are not sexually mature until next year. They live to be about 5 years old.
