-Several [[species:clade:takmoid]] lineages resulted in species that made their living further afield from the wetlands that had appeared circa 1.7 million cycles ago. The ancestors of the takmids were among these, arising in what are now the [[avishraa:geography:sekhaa:region:Sea of Grass]]. Relatively small, social predators, they transitioned slowly from hunting solely on the water margins like their relatives to roaming the grasslands in search of more terrestrial prey.+Several [[species:clade:takmoid]] lineages resulted in species that made their living further afield from the wetlands that had appeared circa 1.7 million cycles ago.

 This flexibility served them well when the wetlands began to dry out about 200,000 cycles years ago. Although the terrestrial lineages still required water for keeping their scales moist, they were not as dependent on water bodies for their livelihood as their evolutionary cousins. So it was that by 91,000 cycles, the takmids had fully diverged from their fellows, and thrived in their environment. This flexibility served them well when the wetlands began to dry out about 200,000 cycles years ago.
