The leafshell replaced its ancestor, the tuffchub. Since the time the tuffchub evolved, the Hydro River and wetlands have gone from polar climate to temperate to now tropical. Thus it no longer needed to store up fat in a tropical environment. They are much leaner than before. They have developed a photosynthetic shell that not only protects it but absorbs sunlight. Also the rest of its skin have regain their photosynthetic cells which makes them green. Like their ancestors they have a butt-nostril than can seal up under water and webbed feet for swimming.
They are migrating species that will spend their winters in the Clayren Tropical Coast and Clayren Tropical Beach. Then Hydro River and Hydro Swamp in the spring. Ovi River and South Barlowe Boreal in the summer to mate and give birth. Then in fall they will make their way back south following the Ovi River to Hydro River and back to the coast for the winter. They spend most of their times in the water feeding but will also come on the riverbanks to relax and sun themselves. They will only go farther from the river when they are in South Barlowe Boreal.
They stay in large herds 50 to 100 members. They each have their own mate and will both help raising their offspring. They will even build a nest for the 5 to 10 offspring to stay in until they are old enough to leave the nest. Each nest is made of leaves and branches. The parents pre-chew the food for the babies and then regurgitate them up for them to eat.
