The tiger shrew split off from the shrew lizard. Since there were many predators, the Tiger Shrew has adapted by becoming much more larger than them. It has also become much more aggressive than its ancestor. It now hunts most of the lifeforms in the Huggs Temperate Forest and Huggs-Yokto Savanna, which makes it the apex predator of these biome. In order to hunt for a lot of its prey, the Tiger Shrew had to adapt.
The many ways it has evolved include its pink skin becoming a dark brown, which helps it blend in with the dirt. The first set of eyes have moved to the top, so that it can easily see its prey while crouching. The Tiger Shrew's teeth have become better at grabbing and tearing prey, and its sense of smell has also improved a lot.
Its legs have also become much more muscular than the Shrew Lizard. This helps them run much faster and leap higher into the air. Another amazing change it went thorough was that the jaw can stretch out much wider than before, this is useful when it is scavenging off a carcass or killing its prey. The way it kills its prey is that it bites on either the butt-nostril of a plent, or the neck of other animals.
However, the most unusual evolution is a tiny third claw on its front legs. The baby uses it to climb into the pouch of the mother. Though when it grows up, it has barely any use.
