Oartail Bronisław

From OurFoodChain
(Redirected from Nantibronislawia remucauda)

  • Ancestor: Thalassiosthalassas paratiritis
  • Size: 8-11 cm (length)
  • Reproduction: Sexual with external fertilization. Due to now being better adapted for water ande their limbs not allowing them to do the same flexing movement, Oartail Broinsławs do their mating rituals underwater. Instead of intimidation, this species’ males swim around other males and engage in battles consisting in trying to push each other down to the muddy bottom. They still preserve T. paratiritis' numbs to acomodate mud over the eggs.
  • Food/sustenance: Zone 22 Taxonomum sp. like T. bonsanicus, T. longiceedus and T. bubblensis.
  • Predators: A. lutosquama and X. quadrambiguus.
  • Description:

Adaptations: T. remucauda has adapted to a more aquatic lifestyle. The hands have turned into more fin-like appendages, pointing more backwards and with a thick layer of skin between the digits. The tail has developed a vertical fluke supported by a keratinous structure and covered in muscle and skin. It inhabits both the shallow and deep parts of zone 22 and has developed countershading, with a light belly and dark back, to grant camouflage from predators attacking both from above and below.
