The tanteato replaced its ancestor, the wading emulsifly. It lives most of its life in the water and only comes on land to mate, give birth or sun itself. It has a more streamline shape and its toes now have photosythetic webbing. They will eat any fruit or berry that falls into the water and will occasionally eat the laves off aquatic flora too. Its tongue is so sticky it can rip off leaves even underwater.
They mate in the spring and give birth in the summer. They have 5 to 10 tiny babies each year which are so tiny they can fit out of their mouths. They do not raise their young, thus they must defend for themselves. Only a few survive. Males will fight over females by jousting with their long snouts.
