Springtrap Limbless

The springtrap limbless is a hybrid of the flailing limbless the sanddigging serpentsaur. With both related species hunting in the same biome over the same food they were bound to interbreed. Overtime a new hybrid species evolved which replaced both of its parent species. Some of the traits that set it apparent from its ancestor was the new way of ambush. Rather than swing its tail towards its body or off to the side it now spring it out backwards. This prevents them from stabbing themselves in the back it also keeps them well hidden in the sand.

Another helpful adaptation is that another pair of eyes are on eyes stalks as well. Thus it can look in all four direction looking for creature to approach. Once it gets close enough it will hide its eyes and nostrils in the sand and wait for the vibrations to get close enough and then it will strike with its spiked tail. Its nostrils too now can close up so sand will not fall into them. And of course eyelids for clover the eyes.

Unlike both ancestors they do not save up as much fat. Thus they are more streamlined. This allows them to actually serpentine through the sand like its water. Thus they do not have to come to the surface to move on the beach. When moving nostrils and eye stalks lie flat against the top of the body closed and if they need to see they use the eye on either side of the head. Matting and egg laying also occurs under the sand. The eggs are now laid in wet sand and are very similar to turtle eggs. When they hatch they in fact have a lot of fat like their ancestors use to have. This can sustain them until they can grow large enough to hunt for themselves. Laying the eggs on the beach has helped it keep them away from aquatic predators which commonly are the ancestors eggs and babies before they even reach the beach.
