File:PDA Background Bottom A fast prey fish encountered in large schools in shallow waters. Developed, Side-mounted Eyes: Capable of discerning colors in a variety of lighting conditions, its reliance on visually identifying predators may nonetheless leave it vulnerable in low-light environments. Also rich in protein. Powerful Fins: Although strong underwater currents on 4546B have not been encountered, this species seems to have evolved powerful fins which would enable it to fight against the tide. They enable rapid acceleration in still water, and the ability to leap meters into the air to avoid pursuers. Beak: Likely used to break down corals and tough vegetation. An unusually large nasal cavity serves no obvious purpose, and appears to be specially evolved to detect a single, specific enzyme. Nothing encountered on the planet so far produces a matching odour. While the peeper is well adapted to survive in shallow waters, a string of evolutionary adaptations serve no discernible purpose. It would appear to be just as well suited to survive in deeper waters, and is somewhat more intelligent than the usual small herbivore. Assessment: Either the peeper has migrated to shallower waters in recent centuries and not yet evolved beyond the adaptations that helped it to survive elsewhere, or it engages in behaviors that have not yet been observed. Further research required.
