Ancestor:Descendants:

The Tejdaw split from its ancestor the Proto-Tejdaw. It moved from the Vivus Tundra to the arid areas of Dixon, Darwin and Vivus. There it adapted to being a predator of small fauna. Its body is now longer and thinner to help it slither through the sands or around rocks. Its head now has all its sensory organs in one spot to help it pinpoint prey. This 6 eyes are all lines up on the top of its head for a complete 360 degree view. And its chin-spikes have grow into long thin whiskers which it uses to sense sound vibrations. They both allow them to feel their surroundings at night but work as a very primitive ear.

Its skin is yellow to blend in with the golden soil of Darwin, but regional sub-species will be more pale to blend in with the white soil of Dixon or darker to blend in with the black soil of Vivus. Like their ancestors their skin is like chainmail and helps protect it from larger predators. However they are much more agile now and can typically slither away quickly from larger predators. They are also semi-warm blooded and can better regulate their temperature. However their arid lifestyle helps heat their bodies anyways.

After mating it take only about 3 months for gestation. They have live birth to around 5 to 8 offspring. The offspring are not cared for and must fend for themselves scavenging on carrion until they are large enough to hunt. Most do not make it to adulthood.
