Ancestor:Descendants:

The ringtailed ketter split from tis ancestor the pudgy ketter. It has doubled in length and has spread throughout Darwin. Their back leaf has gotten smaller and is no longer used for gliding. However it is still used for photosynthesis. They now have developed a symbiotic relationship with the segmented carnofern. They help clean off stickyball relatives from its branches and trunk. In return it can drink the nectar of its flower using their long snout and neck. This in turn helps spread the pollen of the segmented carnofern.

It is immune to the digestive enzymes in the segmented carnoferns leaves so it can climb around on its branches without fear of being digested itself. In addation they help out the segmented carnofern by picking its seeds and planting them in the ground.

They have also devloped wooden claws on their feet to help them climb up the trunks of the segmented filterferns and to dig their burrrows. They typically build their burrows close to segmented carnofern. When its gets too cold they will shelter inside and will even raise their 2-3 babies inside each year. When attracting a mate they will wave around their striped tails and will make tooting sound from it. These toots also double as an alarm call to other ringtailed ketters if there is a predator in the area.
