The taiga chlorocytus split from its ancestor and moved onto land. It still uses its flagella for movement, but in a new way. While it first propelled itself forward in a swim-like movement, it now pulls itself along the ground with the two flagella. It doesn't need this for survival yet, because being the only living being on the taiga, it doesn't have any enemies, but the relative speed does help in spreading quickly. Its light-sensitive spot has developed a bit more and it can now recognize large groups of its own species. After acquiring this information it turns around and heads the other way, causing it to spread evenly across the land.
