Diamond Sail Snapper


Large semi-aquatic reptiles dressed in blue, adorned with orange stripes which saturate its smooth scales. Hunting beneath the surface of warm, shallow waters surrounding a particularly arid region on zerottakída known as arjrid. Maremaxillasaur, the diamond sail-snapper is a distant cousin to the infamous apex predator of medalos; the spotted sail-snapper. This strange and morphologically perplexing cousin measures at 20 - 23.7 feet in length, and weighs between 7,500 - 9,200 lbs. Diamond sail-snappers possess a set of forearms equipped with three elongated, webbed digits each. Each digit is tipped with hooked claws used for grappling onto prey. Over the course of their evolution, diamond sail-snappers have slowly shifted more towards a fully aquatic lifestyle. As a result, their body plan has undergone numeral changes to accommodate for their marine environment. For instance, the diamond sail-snapper dons a long and slender body that is armed with a sail used for herding fish underwater. By swiftly maneuvering their flexible necks, diamond sail-snappers ensnare prey between the bone-crushing force of their sharp, uneven jaws. Diamond sail-snappers have lost their hind legs due to evolution, and instead possess a pair of fins in their place for enhanced underwater locomotion. Because of this, on land diamond sail-snappers must haul their lengthy bodies across rugged shores with their muscular forearms. || If you‘d like to read the rest, click here: https://imgur.com/a/RpNUyFy
