Placviscoslontus shorus
Gigoslontus shorus evolved from G. panterus. While it’s ancestors may have lived in the sea, it’s taken to breeding in April and laying it’s eggs on the shores of Zone H, which has already damp soil and gets wet every time there’s a wave. This means the eggs don’t need a protective shell, and are hunted less by G. panterus since they get camouflage qucker from the sand. Eggs are laid in batches of 8-12. When they hatch, they’ll wiggle themselves into the ocean of Zone 7. After doing this, they’ve likely gotten some sand stuck to them due to their slime they use for protection. Juveniles are small and may get picked off by large predators sometimes. Most are 5-7 inches, while the adults are around 3.5 feet. As juveniles, they’ll eat anything on the ocean floor, such as dead organisms or plant matter. However, when they’re an adult, it’s much easier to just drift around. During their lifetime, plants may begin to grow on the dirt and sand plastered to their back, which creates a natural camouflage which assists them in the water and during breeding season. The adults aren’t as great as maneuvering, so will eat literally anything floating through the water. Seeds dropped by the plants on their back are often an ample meal when they don’t use as much energy. As juveniles swim, algae and Taxonomomum sp. may be flowing behind them, giving the impression of a moving plant. They’ll often surface as adults for a few minutes at a time. They often circulate air through themelves using their mouth. It has small swirly hairs on the front of its mouth. This species lives mostly in Zone 7 but does lay eggs on the shore of Zone H.
