Ancestor:Descendants:

The scrub tasertongue split from its ancestor, the tunnel tasertongue. It has left its subterranean lifestyle on the savanna and has moved to the scrublands. While it will still dig dens to raise its young in it mainly stays aboveground. There were many small fauna to eat and abundant berries as well. It even will snatch eggs from the scrubland sauceback if it can keep from getting eaten itself.

Like its ancestor it can produce a mild shock in its long tongue to stun small prey. Once stunned it can use its prehensile fangs to bite into it. During mating season males fight for mates like Earth's rams by butting its small skullcap. It uses its tongue for smelling like its ancestor and will use it to "sniff" out small prey. They can also run quite fast to catch quick prey. They normally hunt alone but will sometimes team up in order to ambush its prey. One will run after it while the other sits hidden ready to strike as the other leads it to him.
