Ancestor:Descendants:

The truteal diveskunik split from its ancestor, the diveskunik. After the Ice Age, the diveskunik population on bumpy polar beach, unable to migrate to Day Island, managed to keep from going extinct by living in box cryobowls, spending most of their lives patrolling small territories. Even though they couldn't go to day island, though, that didn't stop some diveskuniks from trying to find their ancient breeding grounds, and every year hundreds of diveskuniks would swim out to sea and eventually drown. Eventually, though, a group of diveskuniks found Truteal Temperate Rainforest Island. The group of divekimos that evolved to migrate to the safe breeding grounds of Truteal Temperate Beach eventually diverged into a new species, the truteal diveskunik. To make the long migration to Truteal Island, their bodies have become more streamlined, and their land-adapted tentacles have become oar-like, more efficient than the swarmer tentacles. They swim by flapping their flippers, the front, then the middle, and then the back in order. They will form large groups on the island before spawning at the same time in the water to increase the number of offspring produced. During the night, they will hunt for food in the water, but during the day they will bask in the sun photosynthesizing and lazily eating cryobowls and their fruit.
