Extinct (May 2nd, 2020): Outcompeted by Voltoslontus dasyatus

Evolved from Synacodurus primus their front limbs split and developed 2 fingers and became bigger. Males found a new way for attracting a female.
Found in zone 25. Growing up to 35cm they live in groups of 2-4. Feeding on F. foliumicroeus, K. anchorus, K. primaflotens and L. cytosol they use their mouth to suck microscopic food but also use their teeth to rip leaves of K. anchorus and swallow it whole.They use their lobe fins to glide in the water with its tail used to steer itself to different directions. They will not go down to the bottom area of the zone and more on the top and middle area. They molt their primitive chitin every 2 months on their backs. The species rest in the currents usually going with the flow. They use their 2 fingered limbs to grip on to mates when mating more effectively. 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 9-14 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. kelpcetus. 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 join the group and live in the group.
