The wading leafshell split from its ancestor, the leafshell. It has moved to the coasts and has become fully aquatic. While it can still walk it spend all its time in the surf. it keeps it head underwater most of the time feeding on marine tuffdra. It can do this because its butt-nostril is always out of the water. However they travel in large herd 50 to 100 members. Each take turns looking and listening for predators while the other feed.
Like its ancestor it can also photosynthesize using its "leaf shell" and green skin. They will migrate to the polar coasts during the summer and temperate waters in the winter. They each have their own mate and will both help raising their offspring. Since they spend all their time in the water the offspring sit on their "leaf shell" until they are old enough to wade around on their own. The parents pre-chew the food for the babies and then regurgitate them up for them to eat. They sleep standing up in the water.
