Ancestor:Descendants:

The flickers genus replaced its ancestor the flicker. The genus group live around sulfur rich locations such as geothermal vents and hot springs. Its flagellum has tiny hairs on it in which it uses to absorb sulfur and other nutrients. It flicks it back and forth, which gives it its name. Its base has developed thick cell walls which are mostly made of calcium. This helps it live close to the extremely hot sulfur rich vents. Its reproduction has advanced to mitosis. Note that some species even have two flagella.
