Ancestor:Descendants:

The wading gringlo replaced its ancestor the black gringlo in Huggs River, then spread to Huggs Lake and Bone River. Its legs and neck have become much longer so it can wade in the muddy water. On its legs it has developed tiny hairs in which it can feel if prey is swimming by. Its jaw has elongated as well so it can snap up prey fast. It is no longer nocturnal and spends all of the day wading in the water looking for food as well as collecting light with its photosythetic butt-leaves.

They are solitary hunters and will only meet to mate. During the flood season they thrive on the amount of creature stuck swimming in the water. They must watch out for larger predators such as th ambush sauceback who waits in the mud to strike. It can defend itself from these attacking using its knee and elbow spikes on its front and back legs.
