Ancestor:Descendants:

The drake uktank replaced their ancestor the shellear. They have spread to the beaches of eastern Drake. They're the descendants of shellears that have mutated beaks. They have lost their pseudo-jaws, replacing them with a less front heavy alternative. Their top beaks are now elongated trunks, which they use to dig flora off the ground and into their mouths. Their 2 shell-like ears have shrunk slightly due to relying more on their eyes. Like its ancestors it will store up water in its hollow shell. The shell quickly fill up with water in holes and then are sealed off once they come to land. Their strong legs help carry the weight of the water. They do this in order to have water to breathe. However they cannot stay outside the water for very long and must go back to the water frequently to fill up again. They mate underwater and usually stay in shallow water. After they mate they will lay their eggs directly into the water. Like their ancestors, during late autumn they will lower their activity levels and enter a state of brumation, refusing to leave the water entirely and sticking to deeper waters so as to avoid low tide. They will only need to eat once or twice during this period, and will revive from this state by mid-spring.
