Predatory Glider
Evolved from S. kelpcetus this species had developed the hunger of flesh and became a carnivore due to competition from Synacodurus species and M. kelpcamotus feeding on Kelpflotensa species. They feed on anything meat related.
Found in zone 25 they get 60cm. They now live in groups of 2-3 feeding on L. byssumcoda, M. kelpcamotus, S. kelpcetus and A. tropheus(occasionally an injured one thats in water) This species uses its tail to steer itself when swimming. They are able to eat the occasional injured A. tropheus in the water that are not capable of flight They also use their jaws to suck prey like L. byssumcoda because they are tinier. They rather swim in the open waters rather then living in Kelpflotensa species as they require open space to truly hunt as its too big to swim in the small crammed spaces of a Kelpflotensa vegetation.
When breeding males now flare at females pumping blood into their fins turning their fins redder(females are attracted to brighter colours) and tries to attract females. Females judge by the intensity of the colour and males want to show that the male have a better circulatory system and therefore signaling that they have good genes. Mating occurs when many groups up to 2-4 groups come and mate with each other which they return back to their groups after mating. Once the female accepts the male, the male would mate with the female using its front limbs to grab the female as it mates. Once they are mated the male would not show any care for the female and leaves her. The female will be pregnant and the gestate its egg in its womb which would take 1-2 months.
The female would then give birth to 5-12 larvae however only 2-4 survive.The female will take care of her young as other groups (not her own) will try to eat her young as the young have soft shelled (when they are born )and are easily eaten by other groups of S. Cannibalisii. After 2 months they will molt their shell will harden but still live with its mother for the next 2 months which it would then be chased off by the mother to fend for themselves.
