 For a few hours each Martian day they stick their beaks into the Martian soil, from which they gain nutrients in a similar way to how the roots of a plant gain nutrients from the ground.The Thoth reproduce asexually, with two members of the species making contact for a small amount of time until an infant "buds" between the two.The creatures are highly active and agile, and usually travel in tremendous, city-block-long leaps through the thin Martian air and also aided by the weak Martian gravity.
