Salamandor

Salamandor lives in an overpopulated swamp deep in the forest. The competition for food is fierce and being the only salamander here he has had to undergo a drastic evolutionary change to survive. Salamandor has grown a carnivorous-like flower on its back which uses its bright colouring to attract food that gets absorbed through this flower and into the stomache. This explains why its snout is so small, because it has no need of a mouth when food comes straight through the flower. The flower also creates great camouflage for the salamander as there are many others like it around the swamp surface and surrounding area, so it is easier to hide from predators.
