I believe I'm done

Oh interesting, never really thought of stating a regional extinction without replacing in that region

No issues. I like the texturing, especially for the fins. It is a bit odd-looking, though. It looks like scales or a spongy texture, not filaments or veins. This does not need to be changed, though.

Template:
I’m pretty sure these are ectotherms.

Description:

“those these actions”: “Though these actions”.
“Being a meal”: becoming a meal.
“Taken care of”: it sounds grammatically better as “cared for”.
“Their is”: “there is”.

“Though these actions”. If these breed in the twilight zone floors, their breeding habitats are worth specifying. Ideally, you’d also specify the depth range at which they can be found, at least for breeding. In real life, there are a lot of fish whose ranges extend from the lower sunlight zone to the upper twilight zone, such as saithe (coalfish), Alaska pollock and plaice, and some fish regularly migrate between the two environments. (Generally, the upper margins of the twilight zone is 200 meters down.)

It’s worth mentioning it has a keen sense of smell, which would help it find carcasses to eat.

Do they still have teeth?

Updates for Coolstephs suggests and catches ought to be done before review.








I like how clean the image is.











@MNIDJM, can you implement the feedback suggested?
If the unspecified support is not a problem, this should be ready to review after the feedback is implemented.

"slimy clusters of eggs, which are cared of until they hatch."

this needs to be fixed somehow

Opinion: Pending sentence needs fixing.

I'll make my comments on this species once I complete the redraw of it's direct ancestor.

Oh I think I was registering the word "of" which to me should be "for" in

"which are cared of until they hatch"

But given it's literally just one word and you'll see this and make a decision I'm gonna give this an approval.
