Proxima b life 2.6

Another overdue page to my Proxima b life series.  For those who haven't been following the science news on this planet, NASA recently released a study suggesting that Proxima's solar flares may have eliminated the planet's atmosphere long before life could evolve there.  I've actually developed a hypothesis on how the Proxima b could retain it's atmosphere that I might share in a journal post. 

Any who, I'm introducing a group of flying animals called wyverns.  The wyverns are categorized by their first three pairs of limbs being overlapping wings, the forth pair functional legs, and the last two with the tail forming a tail fin-like structure.  They also have a reduced amount of teeth or no teeth at all to shed weight for flying.  Species are named from to bottom then left to right.
 
Carrion Wyvern: With a wingspan reaching up to 13m, the Carrion wyvern is the largest wyvern species.  Due to their size they need to use their first pair of wings to propel themselves into their air and thus have retained two of their claws to aid in such feats.  Carrion wyverns are opportunistic scavengers that feed on the remains of large animals and occasionally scare away smaller predators from their kill.

Skimmer Wyvern:  Their long, narrow wings allows the skimmer wyvern to stay aloft for countless hours at a time.  Flying over the surface of Proxima b's oceans, they use their modified beaks to skim the water's surface for small prey.  Though found all across the shores of the oceans, they nest on the edge of the inner region to avoid most predators.

Axehead Wyvern:  A small and relatively common species, the axehead wyvern specialize in hunting springers native to the middle region.

Kite Wyvern:  A relatively new species, kite wyverns have lost all of their teeth and replaced them with baleen-like structures to filter shallow water for small organisms.  The underside of their wings and tails are vibrantly colored which they display by jumping high in the air and hovering momentarily like brightly colored kites (hence the name). This display is used to attract mates and startle would be predators.

bonus
Blood Springer:  This species is Proxima B's version of a mosquito.  They cling to their prey with claws and an adhesive tail as their proboscis penetrates the skin to draw blood.  With the slightest sense of danger they spring away from their hosts with their powerful hind legs.

I think I'm finished with the middle region and will move to the outer region, the habitable region on Proxima b that is furthest away from the parent star.
