The irinya xenobee split from its ancestor, the woolly xenobee. It followed the irinya carnofern down from the Flisch-Krakow Alpine to Irinya River and Irinya Swamp. Like its ancestor it feeds on the nectar that the carnofern gives in its bright pink flower. Its bright pink coloring matches the flower. However its woolly fur has developed into quills to help protect it from any predators. It has some fuzz by the mouth to help it spread pollen. Like its ancestor the mouth can bend when sucking nectar and a cloaca with lip-like appendages. When copulating, they cloacally kiss each other to pass reproductive material.
