(Ichtyoraptor thalassa)
Like many other species in our world have done before, these theropods have returned to our marine origins and have evolved to be able to live in water again, although they are still in an intermediate phase of this evolution process. They are capable of living and feeding in water like penguins and seals, but they can also live perfectly without water in their surroundings if they are supplied with a considerable amount of fish.
They have a great sense of family, pack, mutual protection and loyalty. As protective and loyal to the humans they consider their family as huskies could be.
Their plumage is dense, very insulating and waterproof like that of penguins, allowing them to control the temperature in very cold waters.
There is no visible difference between males and females and both care for young and hunt equally.

Differences:
The main differences between the two species, if you can't tell them apart by their colors and patterns, are that the sea ones is larger, more sociable, has a taller dorsal fin, and more evolved arms that resemble flippers. The river ones is smaller, lives in pairs, has a flatter dorsal fin, has wing-like feathers on their arms and are much fluffier.
Breeding:
These two species can reproduce and produce offspring naturally, but the hybrids would be sterile.
If a potion were used to mix different species, the offspring would be fertile, but of one species or the other, never hybrids.
Interactions:
Normally both species do not get along well together. But that may depend on how they have been raised and the personality of each individual.
