Description There are some small animals from jungle of Planet coatlicue.

- 5 species of freshwater arrowfish. One of them is sedentary doublefunnel

- 4 species of Kite birds.
Small, 10 cm. long mosquito-like one feeds ot tree sap.
Twotail, the one with two yellow tails, hunt aerial plankton (mostly tree larvae) under tree canopies.
Fast stragnemouth, is aerial filterfeeder, if flies above forest, filtering aerial plankton.
The one on the left is small predatory species hunting in air. It would eat those "birds" on the right if it would have a chance, but would not misprize some aerial plankton too.
As you can see some species of kite birds have legs, but those specialized to live in flight have lost their legs completely. They spend their entire lives in air and cannot take off again if crashed on the ground.

- And one species of spider-like creature, distantly related to Velorans. This creature when is very young burrow into hollow space inside tree trunk of blueplants and enclosed from the rest of the dangerous world it feeds on tree sap. After first few hours of its life it would never leave its tree anymore.
