Ancestor:Descendants:

The otter salentoid split from its ancestor. They have spread to the Otter Vents, taking advantage of the abundance of methane spewing from the vents. They're now ten times the size of their ancestor, and have evolved the ability to produce methane monooxygenase, which is very efficient in oxidizing methane. If one of the cells die, they will slip that cell from the rest. If the cell is in the middle, this could result in it splitting in two, with each half becoming a separate organism. They are found feeding on the methane near the vents or absorbing marine snow. They are immobile, and can be found growing on rocks or other organisms using a newly evolved root system.
