From OurFoodChain
Extinct (May 2nd, 2020): Outcompeted by D. chadensis and Amfivioslontus megaloceros

Species name: draco robustus
Ancestor++: descended from D. major to take advantage of an unexploited resource
Zone(s):4 and the coasts of c that are in contact with zone 4
Size: roughly the same length as D.major (8 inches in length) but are way more bulky roughly twice as heavy

Reproduction:they form pair bonds similar to D. major and lay up to 3-4 eggs a single time each year at the beginning of the wet season during a 1 month period and they lay the eggs in the beginning of the dry season to prevent the young from being killed by adverse weather and groups care for their young at the same time as they lay their eggs in the beaches they inhabit and will guard the nest for a few weeks until the eggs hatch and then the young will hang around the adults for up to a year until they leave to find mates of their own
Food/Sustenance:they exclusively eat members of the Fibonnaccus genus in order to take advantage of a food source that was previously unexploited

General description: their ancestor D major already ate fibonaccus and so a coastal population within major were able to take advantage of an unexploited food source and so these animals became twice as heavy their ancestor and it helps make them more stable while swimming without fins. The large round body is also used to help stabilize them in the water while swimming. Their belly scales have become wider and thicker and Their coloration changed to better suit their lifestyle as they became countershaded to better protect themselves from the predators of zone 4
