Ancestor:Descendants:

The snowbelly replaced its ancestor, the pappopanton. Since it was isolated from the river now it had to spend all its life on the snowy peaks. It also has changed to a herbivore only since it is the only fauna around. Like tis ancestor it loves to play in the ice and snow and will frequently slide down slops on its belly. Its claws help it climb the peaks while the tail acts like a parachute to slow down the decent if it is sliding too fast. In emergencies it will even use it claws to break. During the summer when the snows melt in the lower alpine and rocky regions they will migrate to the top peaks to stay with the snow. They thrive in the snow conditions.

They use their sharp horn to break open the tough trunks of the hibernating carnoferns and will dig for it and snow puffs in the snow. Their eye are tinted to reduce the glade of the white blinding snow. And their bodies are covered in thick blubber to keep them warm.

They raise their young with broadcare in burrows they dig in the side of the mountains. All of the green eggs are laied in a single nest where they take turns keeping the eggs warm. They generally live in packs of up to 10 members in the winter but can live in huge packs during the summer when they are isolated to the peaks. Their furry crest color can chang color and is used for for communication. Males typically have orange colored crests while the females have green. When they are not communicating it can be a light blue or white to blend in with the snow. They also use the sense of touch a lot and will acress each other with their hands and tails.
