Ancestor:Descendants:

The wetland hoofbear split from its ancestor. After the ice comet disaster, some of the hoofbear plents found the Slarti River and Swamp to be a place free of predators. In order to live in the water, it had to evolve big, tough pads on its feet to prevent it from sinking in the mud. Its leaves have also enlarged and are able to photosynthesise. The wetland hoofbear's teeth have also become more specialized in plants, but it still has some of its sharp teeth, which are used to tear up carcasses. Its body has also become much more massive and its neck has elongated. Since there are no predators, it has lost its flaps. In order to eat the swampmeans, its skin has become significantly thicker, which allows it to eat swampmeans without getting hurt. However, young wetland hoofbears can still get wounds from eating swampmeans. Overall, it has physically changed a lot.

The wetland hoofbears have different colors for each region; River wetland hoofbears have blue with green stripes help it blend in with the water and the crystal flora, while the Swamp wetland hoofbears are blue with brown bellies to help blend into the water and mud.

The wetland hoofbear no longer lives in a herd, but instead lives in a small family consisting of a mother and her offspring. Males live by themselves but will fight over the right to mate with females in the early spring. Males fight by biting and jabbing each other with their back legs. After mating, the male immediately leaves the female to raise its baby.
