What did we say about vague votes?

How about, incorporate fruits into the diet.

That requires a digestive system and teeth evolved to do that. You either need to ferment like an iguana or chew like a mammal.

Which means you need to either put votes toward flat teeth or a specialized hindgut full of microflora that can break down the cellulose.

If you want an example of how the iguana works: http://reptile-parrots.com/forums/showt ... ive-System

If you want an example of how the mammals work: Eat an apple.

Then, let's eat fruit that has a high sugar content and that my species can swallow whole. I am sure the sucrose and fructose can be digested.

You're missing the point. ALL FRUIT HAVE CELLULOSE. No matter how soft it is, if you swallow it without chewing it'll come out the same. You have no teeth to grind up even a soft fruit. You have no crop with grit in it to grind the fruit (an alternative I forgot), and you have no specialized gut to digest the cellulose.

You can't automatically eat the fruit. You need to work up to it in some way.

-start developing crocodilian jaws

Change my sting jawed vote to digesting cellulose.

Fine. Adopt cellulose digesting bacteria.

Votes:

- Better camouflage

- Better claws

If I do not vote for those two things, they continue to evolve on their own?

[dinoman9877]

I gave you a warning Combi. You didn't respond in time and you kept trying to do useless or impossible adaptations. Quite frankly if it takes you this long to respond anyway then this game would be moving at a snail's pace. I'm sorry but next time do something that's viable, and respond in a timely manner.

And please refrain from spamming the thread. Thank you.

Nothing else will change if you do not vote for it. If you, for instance, changed your vote for your claws to something like a longer tail, then you would only get the camouflage and the tail. Your claws would stay the same strength as they currently are.

I didn't vote Yet right?

Longer tail to balance while walking

Tree/grass-like camouflage
