Ancestor:Descendants:

The tagulp replaced its ancestor, the sea tatodder. It has doubled in size and has regained its photosythetic cells all over its body. This helps give it extra energy. It has thick blubber to keep warm and a large mouth to suck up violet globes, colonialballs, and spotted hydroglobes. Its sticky scooping tongue helps shovel food into it mouth. Its back leaf-wings have become larger flippers and its back legs have become tail flukes. Its front limbs have lost their claws but still have their fingers. They use their front legs to pick up things. They tend to stay near the surface since most of their food is floating on the surface, plus they can photosynthesize better without all the water blocking the light.
