1 Million Years P.E. [The Early Origocene]

*Speciation - New Species Of The Early Origocene*

The Poochy Seed eater (Griseusmacrotis Semenvorus), while fitting In the niche of an seed eater, they are more generalists feeding everything they can find, quite similar to their ancestor the Greater Bilby.

The Bepple (Saxulummacrotis Insectumvorus) Is an excellent insect catcher, ambushing them on the surface, but also digging for them underground. They themselfs also spend most of their time underground, hiding from larger carnivores.

... Larger carnivores like the Tearling (Carnismacrotis Carnivorus). Equipped with grappling claws and an dangerous dentation, Tearlings are formidable predators to the smaller Bilbies around.

The Shorts-Tail (Herbamacrotis Herbivorus) Is the exact opposite of the Tearling. Being an herbivore feeding on the abundant grasses of Macroterra. As they received too much competition from other seed eaters, they eventually have started just eating the plants themselves.

Blubb Blubb - The Shrish

20 Million Years P.E. (The Late Origocene)

While Macroterra Is a planet of Bilbies, the invertabrates, which have been seeded to sustain the ecosystem, have changed over the years as well and the most succesfull and dominant ones would be the Shrish. Descendants of Planktonic Krill, they have come to dominate the oceanic ecosystem.

The Shrish started out as shrimp like swimmers that propelled themselfs through the water with feathery legs, Shrish like these still exist, the OJ Reefer (Pseudocaris Citrinasuccus) Is an good example. But some didnt bother to actively swim and become bottom feeders, like the Gravel Trilokrill (Trilobitacaris Fundusmaris).

Although some Shrish have optimized their swimming abilities,

some Shrish would eventually develop a shorter and more streamlined body, and give rise to active swimmers that propelled themselves with undulating waves of their abdomen and tail. Becoming a more efficient means of propulsion, these shrish would eventually modify their rearmost swimming legs along with their tail fan into a caudal fluke of sorts.

But these fluked Shrish didnt just stop there, as another adaption proved efficiency, pseudo-jaws.

These pseudo-jaws are formed from their elongated barbed rostrums and first front legs.

With these they can easily catch slippery prey an apply pressure to crack their hard shell.

two of these jawed Shrish are the Great White Shraw (Pisciscaris Magnusalbus) and the Cherry Shrimpede (Centipedecaris Cerasus).

Both are fearsome predators In their own right, the Shrimpedes are small slender Eel-like ambush predators, while the Great White Shraw are rather large at 1 meter In size they are true giants among the arthropods.

But not all of those jawed Shrish are predators, the Green Weedpicker (Herbariumcolligens Viridis) Is an rather peacefull grazer, using their jaws to pluck and crush tough algea, seaweed and corals.

@tribbetherium what Dusk Mice species Is that?

my life rn

"Thats Very Pansexual Of U" Is my own personalised brain rot sentence

Welcome To The World Of Yo-Kai - Yo-Kai Watch Soulstop

So… like a year ago I worked on a Yo-Kai Watch self insert AU of Yo-Kai Watch, ´cause they were pretty popular, and I decided to redo It and officially publish the AU.

I called It Yo-Kai Watch Soulstop and Im probaply gonna keep the name even If It Is a little edgy.

and since my laptop is ded, these comics will for now just be Goodnotes doodles TwT

The Ivory Of Life - The Womboars

20 Million Years P.E. (The Late Origocene)

The Nomwats were the first large scale herbivores and thus faced great success, the success of one specific Nomwat species Is incredibly well reflected In their descendants.

The Womboars are descendants of the Koala-Nosed Nomwat, and species that has specialised In eating though vegetation, as more and more herbivores emerged the plants got only thougher trying to shake of the herbivores, but the Koala-Nosed Nomwats were already In the niche to graze the though grasses, thus It was an easy adaption to feed on these new world grasses.

The Womboars most recognizable trait are their tusks which have formed from their molars, their molars grow throughout their entire lifes, kinda like the Mausbies incisors, this helps them to chew trough the tough vegetation.

The tusks are used for self-defense, rooting up plants, display and fighting rivals.

The Plains Womboar (Ivoriumvombatidae Campi) Is one of the most dominant grazers of this time, males have harrems of females over large territories, If territories are overlapping the males will fight, whoevers tusks break first will loose.

Plains Womboars also posses long tuffed ears which they use as flag posts for communication.

These flag post structure usually evolve from tails, but Womboars have too short tail to be utilized, so the ears are the next best thing.

An smaller Womboar species Is the Peanut Butter Womboar (Silvavombatidaeaper Enuxarachidis), these forest dwellers are smaller but also more agile, this although does not mean that they wont use the tusks when backed In a corner.

The Peanut Womboar Is an herbivore which feast on the forest grasses, seeds and roots.

Folks, my phone broke 😭

Spec Evo Challenge: Aquatic April - Day 1 (Producer)

This month Im attending an Spec Evo challenge. :D

--Source: R/Speculativeevolution--

I cant ensure I´ll be posting every day, but I´ll try anyways.

For day 1 I came up with a species of Kelp called the Keelp (Anguillapiscisalgarum Sp.).

The Keelp has the coloration of eels to fend of herbivores that might try to eat It.

This unique coloration although also come at the cost of not being able to do very efficient photosynthese, thus the Keelp has an symbiotic relationship with many aquatic plants.

The plant provides the Keelp with nutrients and In return the Keelp keeps them safe from plant eaters.
