Ancestor:Descendants:

The sailing ketter has split from its ancestor and followed the xidhingy to Irinya River, where it holds its role as pollinator. In the river, the sailing ketter had a problem when it tried to move from one xidhingy to the other, because most of them are separated by water. In adaptation to this new situation, the sailing ketter started swimming from one xidhingy to the other, using the xidhingy's fruit's shell as a sort of raft or dingy to move around on. It also uses its enlarged "leaves" as sails for the dingy.

At night, the sailing ketter will sleep on the leaves of the xidhingy and there it will mate and care for the young.
