Stanisław

From OurFoodChain

  • Reproduction: A group of males will surround a female, who then swims off starting a chase. The male who is able to catch up and keep up with the female is selected as a mate. Females will lay batches of around 30 eggs covered in mucus like its ancestor, which the male will then fertilize. Both individuals depart after that. Hatchlings hatch at the same time as their prey and feed on them, as well as scavenging when the opportunity presents itself. During a part of their lives they have to compete with X. quadrambiguus for prey, as they are not large enough to tackle adult N. brachiupinna yet.
  • Description:

X. bronislawvenator evolved to inhabit the deeper parts of Manalacus (3-90 meters) and prey on the larger N. brachiupinna.

Adaptations: The colors on this Xenoslontid have changed for better camouflage. The brown top allows it to bled with the mud when seen from above, while the light underbelly makes it harder to see from below. The overall size increase also means larger muscles, which gives the Stanisław a stronger bite force.
