Descending down from the rocky, volcanic biomes of their ancestors, the '''zigziraber''' found a habitat equally rich in opportunity and danger. Splitting off from the [[ziraber]], this population has found more abundant food sources, but have also opened themselves up to increased predation, particularly from [[Ornitheres]]. Behavioral analyses have documented increased aggression levels in the Zigziraber when confronted by potential predators as a countermeasure to increased predation risks. When aggression is not enough to deter, the zigziraber has biomechanical adaptations that help compensate further. Locomotion in the Zigziraber has adapted further towards bipedality, with pronounced modifications in its lower limbs conducive to sprinting and agility. This shift to a more upright posture and enhanced bipedal efficiency underscores a possible evolutionary response to environmental pressures, as increased agility is beneficial for escaping predators in the dense foliage of the forest and woodlands.
This shift in bipedalism had the consequence of freeing up the forelimbs for more specialized uses. Biomechanical analyses of the forelimb structure reveal enhanced deltoid and
