    No incorrect! keep guessing...


    Hint #1: If the island has existed for more than a few days, there's almost certainly at least of these creatures already there.
    Hint #2: If there are more than one, and they can't find any other prey, they'll eat each other.

    no coral reef.
    not crabs.
    ist not marine life,

    The creatures I'm talking about lives almost their entire life on dry land. and mostly never need water.

    Hint #3: some subspecies of this creature spend their entire life in water. But that's only a tiny tiny percentage.

    Crocodiles/alligators? lol I'm trying to make somewhat educated guesses here. There aren't too many things that either live on land for most of their life and still have close relatives that live in the water.

    But then you have to remember how they get there in the first place; through the water, which would most likely rule out ants.

    I cannot say that I have, but even if they can, I'm believing that the island is at least 1 mile away from everything else, and while an ant would be able to walk on calm water, I doubt it'll be able to get through a mile of rough seas.
