Descendants	Nuisturgus sturgensis Sturgocau lamenta

A direct descendent of Oslontus angelosis, this species occurred when O. angelosis migrated north into the cooler waters of zone 1, where they were able to adapt and become O. sturgeous. This species has much tougher skin than its ancestors, as well as having 2 stabilizing fins on the tip of its tail. It also has grown 5 whisker-like appendages that it uses to sense the floor of the ocean and search for food. This species eats both living and dead plant matter, and it is not picky. Any and all plant matter is fair game for O. sturgeous. This species reproduces with batches of eggs ranging from 30-50, and the eggs develop fairly slowly due to cooler water temperatures. To avoid the eggs becoming easy picking, these animals bury their eggs so as to keep them out of harm’s way. The young then hatch and dig themselves out, and begin their search for food in the new world.
