Description
Umadons became so dependent on their hunting strategy that they followed a very unique evolutionary branch. Four finger-like appendages connected by a skin membrane grow out of the front of their skull as they age, forming a sort of fishing net around their mouth. They hunt by trapping fish in this "net", and can also store their prey in their gular pouch for later consumption. This unique appendage can also be used as a tool for building nests and picking up objects much like a hand, because of this the umadon is believed to possess rather high intelligence. Umadons are semi-aquatic and only live around bodies of freshwater.

Interesting drawing.  Real animal?

Whatever it is, we don't want it on this side of the pond.

Haha, not a real animal unfortunately, but if where it would most likely just eat the fish in people's backyard ponds.
