Ancestor:Descendants:

The 'hangleafzeploon split from its ancestor, the zeploon. It floats with a big, hydrogen filled bubble and a stem, which is also filled with hydrogen. Due to the high amounts of hydrogen and the extremely lightweight mass, it can float in the troposphere. The hangleafzeploon has roots with light membranes, which can absorb water and microbes. For reproduction the hangleafzeploon can grow huge amounts of seed bubbles at its stem. The seed bubbles are released when they are roughly 50 cm wide. Due to the high explosion rate in reason of the hydrogen filled balloon, a single hangleafzeploon can produce up to 4 seed bubbles in a day.
