Ancestor:Descendants:

The borogrove evolved when the terrestrial emulsecho became isolated on the Time archipelago. It grew larger, up to a meter in length. It swims from island to island, calling the entire archipelago its home.

The borogrove keep all four feet on the ground, and do not venture into the trees. They have three toes on each foot. Each toe has a sharp claw-like pad that can be used for defense.

They sleep in the daytime, flattened out and basking in the sun. During this time, their photosynthetic ears spread out wide. They are like two bright neon green signposts that say "I am not good to eat." At dusk they stir from their slumber. They are most active at dusk and night, when they hunt and eat. Its tongue, like the split-tongue jabberwocky, has bifurcated, and it is more prehensile than its ancestor. This allows them to grab food, and snatch prey.

Like its ancestor, the borogrove gives birth to live young. The offspring are then "spit" upon the backs of their mate so they don't fall and must hang on to their parents' backs until they are strong enough to walk on their own. The parents mate for life and both take care of their 2 to 3 offspring. One takes care of the infant, while the other is looking for food. The parent will bring back the food, regurgitating it for them to eat. After a few months they reach adulthood and leave their parents to find a mate.

Other than that, it is like its ancestor.
