Lurking in the Bushes

Dwarf rainforest Dinotank with soft, flexible tread scales mimicking ferns or palm fronds.  This track design distributes the animal's weight over a larger surface area, a distinct advantage when negotiating marshy environs.  The two lower sketches depict the tread scales "flared" for display or camouflage purposes, though traction or shielding the body from debris while in motion would also be good reasons to erect the treads.  To be honest, I originally pictured the treads in a default "flared" position--that top sketch just makes him look kinda droopy.  : /
