Ancestor:Descendants:

The taigashroot replaced its ancestor, the beardshroot. It lives much like its ancestor did, feeding on norats and chunky pipents. Its fur has become more woolly so it can withstand the freezing winters. They even have furn around their nostrils to keep out the cold air. Like its ancestor males will stick their chin into the blood of its prey so it is dyed green with plent blood. A male will hold its chin up high so the females can see. The higher they raise their chins and the more bloody they are the more attractive they are to the females.

They still live in small groups of about 8 members, and still dig burrows in the taiga especially in the cold winters. They exhibit sexual dimorphism males have very long snouts while the females are much shorter. Females also have a pouch, while males do not. They both have a brown and white coloration to help blend in with the dirt and snow when hunting. They live for about 10 years.
