Ancestor:Descendants:

The diamond-leaf ketter split from its ancestor. It has followed the trunkplage and has changed colors to camouflage itself to it. It has gained the ability to glide thanks to several adaptations. Its leaf has grown in length and now forms a diamond shape. It uses new muscles attached to the leaf to hold it upright while it glides. Its legs have become more muscular to aid in jumping, thus giving it more gilding air. To help balance itself while airborne, the tip of the leaf contains a denser wood. Due to the competation with the wide-wing ketter it has expanded its diet to include the fruit and leaves of the trunkplage, though it still prefers the nectar-sap. Its vocal cords (which are located in the butt-nostril) have become a little more sophisticated to increase interspecies communications.
