The '''polar ciliognathus''' split from its ancestor, the [[ciliognathus]]. Like its ancestor it has an oral groove-like horizontal jaw, which helps it consume smaller cells. It also has the option to filter edible particles.
It reproduces by mitosis, but in certain conditions, like overcrowding and environmental stress, it undergoes a sexually reproductive process called conjugation. It lines up with another polar ciliognathus and they fuse together. They then exchange genetic material. The two polar ciliognathus detach. The two become four new cells.
