Ancestor:Descendants:


Having split from its ancestor, the dusty bandersnatch's wings have greatly developed and has thus allowed it to partially regain the ability to fly, a trait lost by its original ancestor, the bandersnatch. While it can only glide, it has proven to be a major gain for the species and has aided it in spreading far across the continents and has allowed it to form several separate breeding colonies. They tend to form tiny flocks of up to 10 individuals, and form group nests in which the females aid one another in rearing their young while the males gather food. Their butt nostril has split in two in order to allow for an increased intake of oxygen, though both are connected to the same tube leading to the lungs. Their powerful jaws are capable of slicing through their food with ease as well as keeping unprepared predators at bay. Males tend to be both larger and more brightly colored than females, and young snipes have a pale red coloration that is lost as they reach maturity.
