Ancestor:Descendants:

The jellobelly split from its ancestor, the solumcrusta. It now lives life as a single free-floating cell. In order to deal with the incredibly salty waters it has grown to inhabit it reproduces at a feverish pace. Like their ancestor they have a thin shell around their innards which protects them from micro-predators. However their shell is rather thin and will not deter any macro-predators.

Jellobelly's live for a few days drifting in the currents before they die off. However they will have produced as many as three hundred offspring by that time. The currents have spread them to adjacent biomes. In place's where there is a particularity large amount of jellobelly's in the same area, a light green film may be seen through the waters.
