Ancestor:Descendants:

The gulperskunik replaced its ancestor on the southern arids of Darwin. Its main adaptation is a larger mouth, allowing it to take great gulps of flora-filled dirt or sand. While a small amount of these minerals are incorporated in their larger bodies, the rest is expelled in a detritus ball. They grow slowly, and only a few individuals reach their maximum size. Great groups will migrate to bodies of water to lay their woody eggs; those which are close enough congregate on the Wind beaches. Other than these changes, it is the same as its ancestor.
