Descendant of Ancestor of


The sailing solar has split from its ancestor, the solar sately. Like its ancestor, it uses water to fill itself with hydrogen to lift up in the air. Now, it evolved to live in the coastal water, never touching land. The aquatic form of the sailing solar is little more than a floating bubble. But after a while, once its water reserves are filled and its balloon sacs are fully developed, it floats up into the atmosphere to continue the life cycle.

Living Relatives (click to show/hide)

These are randomly selected, and organized from lowest to highest shared taxon. (This may correspond to similarity more than actual relation)

None found. Note that this does not necessarily mean it has no living relatives at all, but that, assuming all taxonomy is filled in, its entire phylum is extinct; any relatives it does have likely do not resemble it.
