Makognathusensis filtertaurus

From OurFoodChain
Extinct (May 2nd, 2020): Outcompeted by M. filterocetus and M. makonenzii

Evolved from M. hyenadonus that wandered to zone 25. Their teeth become smaller so they can eat plankton and now waste energy carrying large teeth to not feed on large prey. They become larger so they do not get eaten by potential predators (A. tropheus and S. cannibalisii). Their pectoral fins, pelvic fins and tail fins that have their skin overlapped the ray fin resulting a bulkier fin better in open waters and steer more accurately.

Found in zone 25, they grow up to 2.5 feet long. They swim in the open waters avoiding the dense kelpflotensa species. They feed on L. byssumcoda, L. cytosol, F. foliumicroeus, young S. cannibalisii and S. kelpcetus. They also would eat A. tropheus that are injured and floating in the water. They are usually found solitarily due to their size and food however they can be found in small groups of 1-3 but show no social interactions.

When breeding groups would go to the shallow shorelines near zone E. Females would lay up to 70-140 eggs (but only 2-5 survive). The eggs hatch with fry with a length of 5cm and would eat plankton. They are not seen food from the adults and would be seen next to adults used as protection.
