Ancestor:Descendants:

The wright janit split from its ancestor and moved to Wright River and Wright Swamp. Due to the abundance of food and the lack of predators it has become twice as tall as its ancestor and also stands more upright. Its neck has elongated, allowing it to reach its food more easily. To prevent it from sinking into the mud, it has developed broad, flat feet. It doesn't dig holes anymore since the ground is to wet and there is little need for hiding anyway. It has become much bolder and can be seen everywhere in the swamp and along the river. It still reproduces through cloacally kissing. Eggs are laid in long strings on the water's edge. The young are less than 1 cm tall, but they grow quickly and will be close to their full size in days.
