It wasn't until some got kicked out of the forest that they underwent the survive or die kind of pressure that transforms one species into a new one. Once they formed separate breeding populations then there would be a variety of pressures, seeing over the grass, new disease, new predators, grass fires. It wasn't just one steady thing.
