The swiftsnapper replaced its ancestor, the weavesnapper. Due to changes in the environment in the tundra and polar regions, weavesnappers began to migrate to a slightly warmer climate. In order to blend in with the ground their feathers became golden with a variety of different patterns of white. The swiftsnapper has an elongated bottom jaw which is capable of smashing in the skulls of its prey. It is also used during the mating season, a female swiftsnapper will seek out the male with the longest jaw as well as the most interesting pattern on their feathers. Once the male is found and the eggs of incubated the offspring are taken care of by the father whilst the mother hunts for food. The swiftsnapper is able to glide a long way, thus letting it avoid the danger from below and letting it seek out prey in silence.
