Ancestor:Descendants:

The Dark Giant Shovelhead evolved from the slow and lazy Giant Shovelhead. And like it`s ancester it is huge, due to the large amount of microscopic organisms in the waters the Dark Giant Shovelhead can afford to grow to an enormous size witch protects them from the predators of the deep. Unlike it`s ancestors however, the Dark Giant Shovelhead is now a full time filter feeder giving it more energy, rather than waiting for the sun to shine. The middle tail has also evolved to a larger paddle like fin, using the two side tails to steer, allowing it to move much faster. As the Dark Giant Shovelhead is no longer slow and lazy they breed faster, still with the same filter feeding babies as offspring, and still both the parents will stay with the babies for the first ten months.
