He´s Just A Quill Guy - The Hedgey´s

He´s Just a Quill Guy - The Hedgey´s

10 Million Years P.E. [The Middle Origocene]

10 Million years Into Macroterras histories an predator-prey armsrace has evolved, with an food chain having evolved, the prey animals need to evolve as well.

There Is one lineage that posses an effective defence mechanism often seen on earth, sharp quills.

Those quilled Bilbies go under the name Hedgey´s (Family Erinaceusmacrotidae).

He´s Just A Quill Guy - The Hedgey´s

One of the main species would be the Needle-Mane (Acusleo Sus).

While Hedgey´s are usually insectivores the Needle-Mane remained an oppurtunistic omnivore.

It´s quills are also not as impressive as In other species.

Like all Hedgey´s they posses an with quills packed tuff at the end of their tail,but along with that they posses an quill covered mane and some smaller frailer quills along their back and ears.

Their quills overall seem to be more adapted to support heat loss and protection from the sun.

This comes In clutch as they call Macroterras hot desert their home.

Needle-Manes are still very similiar to the original Bilby, which Is reflected In their nature, tough they have taken their omnivorous diet to the next level, eating whatever you can think of, grass, seeds, insects, smaller Bilbies, everything Is on the menu.

Their long tails can also store very small amounts of water, an pretty new adaption, but one that comes In clutch.

He´s Just A Quill Guy - The Hedgey´s

The Stubby-Tail Bugbun (Insectivoruscuniculus Aculeatus) Is an more typical member of the Hedgey family, being an insectivore and possesing though quills at their back and tuff.

He´s Just A Quill Guy - The Hedgey´s

The Bechidna (Tachyglossusmacrotis Acutus) Is the tropical Hedgey, using Its claws to destroy termite hills and break away rotten wood and long tongue to slurp up the insects.

Its quills cover Its entire back, even the ears and the tail are packed with quills.

Whoa! - The Whoapossums

10 Million years P.E. [The Middle Origocene]

Whoa! - The Whoapossums

The canopies of Macroterra are starting to brim with life, Squruffies, Bilcoons and the Whoapossums (Family: Didelphismacrotidae) all call these forests with tall trees their home.

Whoapossums are excellent climbers with an long flexible tail and an semi-opposable thumb on their grasping paws.

These canopy critters are mostly specialised insectivores or frugivores to avoid competetion with arboreal seedeaters like Squruffies or Bilcoons.

The Masked Whoapossum (Larvatus Pseudooppositum) Is one of those skilled bug catchers amongst the Whoapossums.

Catching small nimble insects and also being known for chewing of pieces of bark to get to the insects hiding inside.

The Sweet-Tooth Whoapossum (Fuscusfrugivore Ascensus) Is quite the opposite and Is an frugivore, enjoying Itself an buffet of sweet fruits, although they are known for eating pollinating insects on occasion.

The Common Protein Glider (Maculatus Proteinavolans) Is another very skilled bug catcher and one of the smallest Whoapossums.

The Protein Gliders are unique for possesing an skin membrane between their legs like the earthern sugar glider and just with like the Sugar Gliders they use this skin membrane to glide from tree to tree, gliding to far away trees Is alot safer then to move to them via the ground where many predators lurk.

The Common Protein Glider akthough has found another plus point for the skin menbranes, catching insects mid-air.

They are not as skilled at moving In the air like earthern bats for example, but natural selection favors individuells which can controll their gliding more to catch more insects, In the future we might see the skies of Macroterra dominated by descendants of the Protein Gliders which developed powered flight.

Blubb Blubb - The Shrish

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

Blubb Blubb - The Shrish

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.

A Coin Has 2 Sides - The Shrovels

10 Million Years P.E. [The Middle Origocene]

A Coin Has 2 Sides - The Shrovels

The Measels are some of the top predators In this time, excellent meso predators and small game hunters, which Is kinda surprising considering they have evolved from the pretty cowardly Bepples.

Small insectivores which spend most of their time underground hiding from larger carnivores.

While the Measels have gotten quite a glowup, they are not the only descendant the Bepples produced.

Next to the Measels there also were the Shrovels (Family: Talpiamacrotidae).

These small critters are alot more like their ancestors, spending most of their lives underground feeding on burrowing insects.

They have heavily converged with earthern moles, possesing poor eyesight, large shoveling claws and an bald nose to push away dirt.

The Shrovels are an not very diverse group with only very few species, the most widespread one would be the Balding Shrovel (Talpiacopia Calvus).

They are an very basal species of the Shrovel fitting the description very well.

While there currently Isnt much to see with their kind, this could soon change.

Treasure The Rodent - Mausbies Of The Late Origocene

(20 Million Years P.E.)

The Middle Origocene saw the rise of the Mausbies, small rodent analogues, In the niche of seedeaters or small scale omnivores.

But now In the Late Origocene the Mausbies saw alot more diversity trying to cover still avaible niches or make a living In new Habitats.

Treasure The Rodent - Mausbies Of The Late Origocene

The Beavalis are descendants of the Rattuffs which have adapted to an semi-aquatic lifestyle.

Similiar to the Shell-Fishers 10 Million years prior they have adapted an mechanism that allows them to seal their pouch when underwater, preventing their joeys from drowning.

The Greater Beavali (Flumenmus Nonaustralianus) Is one of the more basal species.

Their strong incisors are perfectly adapted for crushing the hard shells of mussels and crustaceans, but also for breaking wooden bark. Similiar to earthern Beavers, the Greater Beavali builds dams which can controll the river streams, giving them the perfect conditions to build their nests, find and store food as well as giving them an safe place to rest.

The Grey Bilbypus (Macrotisornithorhynchus Griseus) Is an fellow widespread Beavali species, It posses long sensitive whiskers which It uses to find arthropods and other goods hidden under the river bed.

Treasure The Rodent - Mausbies Of The Late Origocene

Another clade of Rattuff are the Hampters, as their name suggest they have heavily converged with earthern hamsters.

They posses an small, round body with an short tail, but those are not all features they took from the earthern hamster, as they also have the hamsters signature trait, cheek pouches.

Their flexible cheeks help them to hord all of the goods they find, saving time foraging, which makes them visible to predators.

The Field Hampter (Pseudocricetus Ager) Is an plains dwelling small-scale herbivore feeding on seeds, roots, vegetables and various grasses. Field Hampters are one of the few unsocial Mausby species, not forming family colonies and only interacting with another when mating.

The Greater Dwarf Hampter (Nainuspseudocricetus Maxillutus) Is pretty similiar to Its larger cousin, although they are not herbivores but rather omnivores, eating seeds, roots and insects.

They also havent completly abondend their colonies, althought the family bonds are very loose and tend to fall apart quickly.

Treasure The Rodent - Mausbies Of The Late Origocene

Talking about unsocial Mausbies, we have the Terrisquis, an clade of Squruffies, solitary Mausbies that by now have become incredibly territorial and even straight up aggressive animals.

Similiar to the Hampters the Terrisqui have found an way to take their food to go, but instead of developing cheek pouches, they used an feature they already possed and have just modified It a bit, as the Terrisquis use their marsupial-pouches to store their food.

This alsomeans that both the males and the females posses pouches to store food, we see something similiar In earthern Yapoks, marsupials In which both males and females posses pouches.

Also similiar to the Yapok they posses an mechanism that allows them to seal their pouch, the same Shell-Fishers and the Beavalis posses, this prevents their food from accidentally falling out of their pouch.

The Colorbark Terrisqui (Colossciurus Fuscusanrufus) Is an pretty basal member of the Terrisqui family.

The females sport an camouflaging brown color, while the males are alot more eye-stinging. As territorial as the Terrisquis are, the males have evolved an brighter fur color to make their presence clear to rivals. The males also posses the ability to make the fur on their back stand up, In turn making them appear larger to predators and rivals.

Treasure The Rodent - Mausbies Of The Late Origocene

Back to the more peacefull and social creatures, we have the Wabillies. Plains dwelling descendants of the Jerbaroos.

Normally the desert Is the kingdom of the Jerbaroos, with the plains dwelling individualls standing In the shadow of their relatives, but the Wabillies managed to stay relevant amongst the competetion.

As of right now the Wabillies are the largest Mausbies to ever exist, turns out, living In the plains among swarms of Pterobats of prey, being big has Its benefits.

The Plains Wabilly (Subterranotamacropus Fodiens) Is the most common species of the rather small Wabilly family.

They live In huge family colonies and burrow equally huge, complex burrows. They are omnivores eating whatever they can find, vegetables, seeds, insects and even the occasional small marsupial.

Pop Goes The Measel - The Measels

10 Million years P.E. [The Middle Origocene]

The Tearlings and the Bepples were the first carnivores on Macroterra to emerge 9 million years ago.

But while Tearlings specialised In other Bilbies, the Bepples were insect eaters, untill some of their recent descendants, the Measels (Family: Mustelamacrotidae).

Measels are carnivores like their ancestors but have started to add other Bilbies into their insectivorous diet, some still eat mostly insects, but some have completly moved on to a diet consisting of small marsupials.

Pop Goes The Measel - The Measels

The Steak-Colored Measel (Pseudomustela Carnecolorate) Is one of the more basal species.

They are meso- ambush predators which eat both insects and small Bilbies.

The Steak-Colored Measel also shows an trait not often found In marsupials, parental care.

In most marsupials the mother wont interact much with their baby and will kick It out of the pouch once too heavy.

Most Measels will still carry around their joeys on their back after they have outgrown their pouch, showing them how to hunt and find insects, the mother will also protect the joeys from other meso-predators that might try to eat them.

The Steak-Colored Measel reproduces rather slow, once every few weeks they will mate and raise up to 2 joeys at a time.

Pop Goes The Measel - The Measels

The Shell-Fisher (Aquamacrotis Conchyliapiscatio) Is another rather odd marsupial, as their are semi-aquatic.

Semi-aquatic marsupials are difficult, as mothers would drown their joeys when diving Into water.

On earth we only ave one semi-aquatic marsupial the Yapok.

As a result the Shell-Fisher has heavily converged with the Yapok, evolving the same mechanism allowing them to seal their pouch watertight, they achieve this with an muscular mechanism that cinches the pouch closed.

With this mechanism the Shell-Fisher mother can dive Into rivers without drowning their joeys.

The Shell-Fishers themself will like the Steak-Colored Measel raise an max of 2 joeys, less joeys require less air, thus the mother can dive longer then if she would raise more.

They although dont interact much with their joeys after leaving the pouch, unlike many other Measels.

Underwater the Shell-Fishers will seek out hard shelled prey like mussels.

Pop Goes The Measel - The Measels

The Pale-Faced Tree Measel (Mustelaarboris Pallidafacies) Is an arboreal entry of the Measel family, they are one of the few Tree Measels that only feed on other Bilbies and dont show parental care.

They are excellent climbers and feed on other arboreal critters like Squruffies or Bilcoons.

Spec Evo Challenge: Aquatic April - Day 3 (Star)

I dont know much about sea stars and didn´t know what other animal I could make with the word star (and the timeframe)

The Barnacles Star (Balaenaasteroidea Caeruleuma) Is an parasetic starfish that will attach themselfs to whales or other large marine animals with their spiked legs and then proceed to peel of and eat their skin.
