Ancestor:Descendants:

Splitting from its ancestor, the alpine darbola moves to Darwin Boreal and Darwin Alpine. To keep its self warm, it relies on its black coloration and while it's flying the friction heats it up a little. Because there is less food there, its size is smaller so energy requirements are smaller. They mainly feed on the scavengundi and woolly xenobee, by grabbing it from the air. To help them with grabbing and ripping its prey, they evolved its most forward wing limbs as claws. A new wing limb has appeared at the back, to compensate. Sometimes, when a sick, young or lonely boreal crackplent is spotted, the darbola will group in a swarm and attack the boreal. They have started scavenging for more energy. Another adaptation is its new forward facing eye. The other four eyes are still on the back. It has evolved a bone plate on its head to protect it from boreal attacks.
