#Spectember Day16 Disaster Profiteer
In the wake of the asteroid impact mammals had an explosive radiation, resulting in lineages we know today & slightly strange sidebranches. The Underbiters are rodent-like mammals who enlarged their bottom rather than top incisors to better carve into nuts & bark

#spectember Day15 Family Feud
After evolving separately for a few million years the Vegan Stoat and Face-eating weasel collide when climates and habitats shift. Now the nimble, ferocious, & deadly weasel hunts its much more docile stoat cousin.

#spectember Day14 Stolen Goods
These salamander decendents are opportunisitc onnivores, & also get a substantial amount of their energy needs from the chlorophyll in their semi-transparent skin. Unlike species that cultivate algae symbiotes, Amphoclores grow chlorophyll as one of their tissues.

#spectember Day12 Obsession
The moneky' pet tarantula are a curious species of spider who form strong relationships with saki monkeys where they petrol their fur for bugs. Different sub-species prefer different species, though white-faced sakis are sought out by many.

#spectember Day11 the Hotspring Skaters are a lineage of pond skimmers who evolved to inhabit extreme hot water environments, such as the cool to medium hot pools in Yellowstone. Their specialized hairs and constant quick movements keep them from overheating.

#spectember Day10 The Long Game
Auditor beetles bore into buried nuts, where they grow into their final larval form and wait for a wildfire to pass. Once the fire has scorched the local forest, they rapidly pupate and emerge to feast on the charred wood.

#spectember Day 9 Safe Haven
The subterranean monster, a distant dependent of the gila monster, managed to survive the worst of the global warming spikes thanks to its home in the deep caves of what used to be Nevada. These blind & pale lizards are top predators of their environment.

For my Drecel project, a species of long-lived fungi that grows tall, pronged structures that support squirts, spore bearing fruiting body. It acts as the backbone for the underground Mycoforest ecosystem.

#spectember day 8 Meccha Chameleon
A progenitor of the first true fruit-eater lineage Jeholornis was the omnivorous Protojeholornis pictor. They consumed seeds and a bit of fruit in the cretaceous fall to enrich their feathers with carotenoids for fall foliage camouflage.

#spectember Day7 Land Whale
Behold the fearsome drake who has taken out whole cities...of termites. The anteater duck tears open decaying logs to feast on the grubs inside with its long, flexible, and sticky tongue.

#spectember day2 "Incredibly Deadly Viper"
My take on this not very dangerous member of a dangerous group is a passive filter-feeding crocodile. Why work hard for a mean when your mouth just looks like a nice refuge for tiny morsals? Name meaning "comb tooth".
