Just got an message In my Inbox, was happy ´cause I thought somebody requested an Yo-Kai for me to draw.
It was an bot.
It was an crappy bot.
Im sadge :(
10 Million Years P.E. [The Middle Origocene]
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.
I already had issues with It In the past but as of right now I can barely even use It anymore because Its just so slow.
So yeah I probaply wont be able to post any spec evo art as of right now X-X

The Poochy Seedeater Is an Bilby which evolved 9 million years ago and became an specialized seed eater.
Now In the Middle Origocene, Its descendants the Mausbies (Family: Roderemacrotidae) took the place as the most dominant and widespread seed eating critters.
What makes them unique Is their convergence with earthern rodents. Possesing strong incisor teeth that grow throughout their lifes, perfect for gnawing on hard seeds.
They are also of rather small size to avoid competetion with larger seedeaters like Bilcoons.
Another rodent like trait from the Mausbies Is their quick reproduction, they can raise up to 8 joeys In their pouch.
The joeys also mature pretty quick and as soon as the litter Is done baking, the mothers usually have the next litter.
This fast way of reproduction Is some sort of defense mechanism of their part, which doesnt protect the single individuall but rather the species as a whole.
Due to their small size their are an prime target to the abundant meso predators or young large game predators.
This lifestyle of quick reproduction also causes Mausbies to have an not very long natural lifespan once again an trait akin to earthern rodents, since mausbies are often wasting alot of their energy birthing and nurturing their young or risking getting spotted by predators when out searching for mates.
The Grey Rattuff (Pseudorattus Griseus) Is one of the more basal Mausbies. Being incredibly widespread, their found all over Macroterra (except In the desert). They are omnivores but are specialized In hard seeds, which make up the most part of their diet.
Pretty typicall for Mausbies, the Grey Rattuffs live In large family colonies.
The White-Tail Squruffy (Pseudosciurus Caudaalba) Is an arboreal entry of the Mausby family.
They feed on acorn like seeds growing on the trees or the seeds of stonefruit.
The White-Tail Squruffy Is also pretty unique In the term of social behavior as they are solitary rather then living In family colonies.
The Common Desert Jerbaroo (Desertummacropodidae Parvus) Is an Mausby that has moved Into Macroterras desert.
Mausbies are unique for their bipedal hopping way of locomotion similiar to earthern Kangeroo Rats.
Their bipedal hopping Is an energy efficient way of locomotion In their hot desert climate.
Even tho their hopping Is optimal for the desert there are also some Jerbaroos that live outside the desert, although they are not as succesfull there.

While many of the Bilbies started to specialize In specific niches such as, predators, seedeaters and grazers, some Bilbies remained omnivores, some have even expanded their diet, eating pretty much everything. One of those creatures on Macroterra would be the Bilcoons (Family: Procyonmacrotidae), oppurtunistic omnivores eating seeds, fruits, veggies, insects, carrion and even smaller Bilbies.
The Nutcracker Bilcoon Is one of the most common Bilcoons In the middle Origocene. Like most of the Bilcoons they are semi-arboreal, feeding on the goods up there, the Nutcracker Bilcoon Is one of the ´Coons that eats mostly seeds and nuts.
An more carnivorous member of the Bilcoon family Is the Bark-Striped Coon (Insectumlingua Cortexstriatus), this Bilcoon feeds mostly on quick and evasive insects, both on solid floor and on the ground.
@tribbetherium what Dusk Mice species Is that?
10 Million years P.E. [The Middle Origocene]
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.
Its the boi! thank u :D
