artist: FunkytownP
concept:
The color and shape of the frog-like creature helps disguise itself among the falling leaves. It hops from one to the next catching unaware insects one by one!

artist: JakkaS
concept: BZZZYK
These huge non-flying butterflies live on the archipelago Kauui. Because they can't fly and inhabit small islands they had to learn how to survive. When the mating calls, they build small boats form the K'a's leafs and put fertilized eggs in. Boats with offspring in eggs float on the ocean reaching occasional island. In this way they can survive and be sure that their genes mix inside their species.

artist: Main Loop
concept:
These rodents take in air as they jump from branch to branch, inflating themselves enough to float to their destination. The youngn's air pouches arent developed enough to be able to float like their mothers, so they are carried in a makeshift "basket" of leaves in which they ride. the mothers then use their hind feet to land.

artist: Lady Medusa
concept: Leaf Hugger
During mating season at fall (autumn), the male Leaf hugger will grab a leaf and let the wind bring them to the ground where the female has gotten before them. The female will pick the leaf hugger who seems more able to ride the leaf and dodge birds, and also do the most impressive acrobatics at the same time. Baby Leaf huggers camouflage better whit the ground so they make the nests under tree roots. When the winter comes they're fur gets white and they climb up the trees, making a new nest that they keep until the next Fall.
The mother usually gets 4 babies a year, that stick to her until mating season.

artist: rawwad
concept: clammy marmot
clammy is the key word for this animal, which has amazing sticky slaver. Which use for very typical form of moving. His legs are short and weak, not good for long travels. When are these marmonts young, they mostly use for quick movement variant A - 1.when is weather windy, they find plant with big leafs. 2. Stick on the leaf with their slimy sticky slaver which have in mouth and around all head, neck, hair, ... 3. Just they fix with leaf and use leaf as wind awning. 4. Now they can fly, because their bodies are very light but strong too.
When are marmonts old and big, there is not easy find so big leafs and strong wind for them, then they use other metod of fast moving, variant B - 1. big marmonts make small travel group and collect every tree leafs around them 2. with using of their sticky slaver they make big ball from these leafs and go in ball 3. They starting moving with their srong bodies into ball and with help of gravitation ball starts to move 4. Mostly they prefer hilly lands, which are perfectly for fast traveling, but also very dangerous. Usually moving ends when ball is break and marmonts are spring out ! Which is very funny, for the marmonts too, because they like adrenalin.

artist: davi
concept: Baby SquidMonkeys, aka "the leaf riders"
In the future, monkeys will be outclassed by the evolution of landbased squid. As seen in this documentary photo above as infants they are hardly squidlike in appearence, their tentacles aren't seperated which makes travel difficult, so they attached themselves to leafs and use their unformed tentacles as a rutter in and adorable attempt to guide them through the wind drafts. Their discint characteristics are their red brains that have protruded forum their body and the egg shell which they stick themselves to for protection.
In the photograph you can see the adult mother of the baby squidmonkeys following her spawns, she will often loose some, but she only needs at least 2 to survive out of a breed of over 100.

artist: Trashy
concept: Leaf Harrier
Large bugs that attaché themselves to leaves to create small leaf air ships. They use their long wings and appenges to balance and fly the leaf. The bug uses it as a means of transporting its young place to place or to migrate its nest. It's eggs are usually the shape of little bomblets and more often then not, many of these eggs fall off these leaves into other tree's while being transported.
