The giant talgulp replaced its ancestor, the tagulp. It has doubled in size and has become more streamlined. Its mouth and tongue have become more of a scoop shape in order to shovel in more food. Its front limbs have become small fins which help catch any hydroglobes that fall out of the side of the mouth. If they do they will scoop them back in. Its leaf-fins have become more like pectoral fins. Its tail and tail flukes have become stronger to help propel its larger body and its butt-nostril has become a larger dorsal fin shape. Like their ancestors 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.
