Ancestor:Descendants:

The grasshoe replaced its ancestor, the grassprint in the grasslands and scrublands of southern Wright. With the lack of flora and so many herbivores it specialized in eating the sugary roots of the vangrass. Its woody beak is now shaped like a garden hoe so it can uproot vangrass to eat. It also depends more on its photosynthesis. Not only have its leaves gotten bigger but its crest has gone down its back and gained its photosynthetic cells. Its feet also have developed wooden claws to help it dig. To escape predators they will dig burrows to hide in. They live in small herd of 8 to 10 which all live in community burrows. They will raise their young in the burrows. They will also store extra roots in their burrows for the community's offspring to all eat. Males will fight over females fighting with their beaks. These battles do not last long and usually end without anyone getting hurt.
