Description

    Clongers are legless tribbets that evolved in the Pangeocene and take over the world. Most of them were burrows, but a basal lineage went back to the surface and became tree climbers, using their belly and their tail claw to hang in tree branches and catch small birds. By the Early Ultimocene, there was cold-tolerant forms that lived in the trees of the temperate forest of North Serinaustra and developed hibernation to survive the cold winter.

    One of these species were brought by floating woods to the Dixon Island early on, before Serinaustra totally froze. Some basal specie still do the same their ancestors did for millions of years, but others developed new and intelligent ways to catch their prey.

    The Trap Clongers are a clade of sparrowsnatcher that are found only in the Dixon Island. They are very intelligent for tribbets and use their claws and body to makes traps to their prey, sometimes building their own camouflage with leaves, saliva and fesses. One group return to the ground, like their ancestors, but others hind themselves in the tall grass or in bushes.

    Above we see a Bush ambush clonger, a specie that camouflet itself in a bush and wait for birds to catch them if their claws or mouth. Bellow, in the left we have the Feet Trap, a clonger that burrow it’s body in the ground, but their tail claw stays above, cover in grass and soil, that are glued together by the clonger’s saliva. The minimal sensation in their feet trigger an reflex response that close the claws, grabbing the animal, usually a small circuagodont.

    The Tall grass clonger is a naturally camouflage clonger that utilizes it adaptation for sustain their body weight in a tree branch to project itself in a fast bite direct to their prey. They usually prey on birds, but molodonts and insects are not out of their menu.
