The Burrowing Zeeboos were in danger. A newer, greater breed replaced them wherever they grew, the Dome Zeeboo. During the last era, the Burrowers were pushed further into the Oltic wastes, towards the East coast of Asmara. But still the Dome Zeeboos continued to advance, they were better adapted to the climate, grew faster too. In a last desperate plea for escape, the burrowing zeeboos took to the sea. Zeeboos were always known for their adaptivity, yet it has been a long time since they had to grow beneath the waves. Thus, the Xeeboo was born. It was the first Zeeboo species to touch the water for aeons, it would be away from competition at last. During this era the Xeeboos were still very much confined to the shallow waters on the coast. Its airborn seeds worked suprisingly well being pulled from the plants by the waves and deposited elsewhere. They also lost their ''voclisation'', it had been wasted during the last era anyway, with the surviving plants becoming isolated from each other. They adpated a water filter that allowed them to remove excess salt to some degree from the sea water they absorbed to use within the plant, this lead to the build up of small salt deposits around the plant which may have been able to kill competing plants with less resistance to pure salt. It is believed that some Burrowing Zeeboos survive in isolated regions on land even still.
