Madagascar (New Pleistocene)

Madagascar is an island near Africa that has animals not found anywhere else on earth.

Dry Forests
Many of the dry forests of Madagascar are similar to today, but is now also filled with species evolved from organisms introduced to Madagascar by humans.

Mammals

 * Leofossa - Descended from fossas that grew larger and stronger, similar in size to a jaguar.


 * Madagascar Giant Dylanus - A species of wild dylanus native to Madagascar. Unlike other dylanus species, it is a herbivore. It is the largest dylanus on earth (along with California giant dylanus), about 14-16 feet tall and 1 ton. Same species alive today.


 * Madagascar Common Dylanus - Descended from introduced feral dylanuses. It is an omnivore. It is similar to its ancestors.


 * False Ape - Descended from a group of lemurs that became more ape-like in size, locomotion, and niche. They are plant eaters, feeding on fruit, leaves, and nuts.


 * Lemurs - There are various species of lemurs. Many are still alive today.


 * Madagascar Dwarf Elephant - Descended from African elephants that made it to Madagascar. It is smaller and more Asian elephant-like than their ancestors.


 * Madagascan Dwarf Hippopotamus - Descended from hippos that made it to Madagascar. They are smaller, more peaceful, and less aggressive than their ancestors.


 * Fossa - A carnivore closely related to mongooses. Same species alive today.


 * Monkey Lemur - Descended from lemurs that became more monkey-like in diet, appearance, niche, and intelligence.


 * Madagascar Cat - Descended from feral cats that were introduced to Madagascar. They are more ocelot-like than their ancestors.


 * Madagascar Dwarf Cattle - Descended from cattle that were introduced to Madagascar. They are smaller than their ancestors.

Birds

 * Elephant Bird - Originally extinct in 1600's, but were cloned through De-Extinction. They are the top herbivores of Madagascar.


 * Madagascar Giant Eagle - Descended from eagles that grew larger, about the size of an extinct haast's eagle, large enough to hunt large birds such as elephant birds.

Reptiles

 * Madagascar Giant Tortoise - Descended from tortoises that grew larger, about the size of an African hippopotamus.


 * Rahonavis - A species of very bird-like dinosaur. There are about 154 species of rahonavis. They range in size from pigeon size to raven sized ones. They are insectivores. They are similar to their ancestors.


 * Majungasaurus - There are about 41 species of Majungasaurus. They range in size from Utahraptor size to Carnotaurus sized ones. They are carnivores that feed on lemurs, goats, dwarf hippos, dwarf elephants, elephant birds, smaller reptiles, and their own kind (making them cannibalistic). They are the top predators of Madagascar. They are similar to their ancestors.


 * Rapetosaurus - There are about 63 species of Rapetosaurus. They range in size from Opisthocoelicaudia to Antarctosaurus sized ones. They are the largest herbivores of Madagascar, feeding on nothing but leaves, nuts, and fruit. They are similar to their ancestors.

Amphibians

 * Beelzebufo - There are 209 species of Beelzebufos. They range in size from cane toad size to Beelzebufo sized ones They are carnivores that feed on insects, small fish, smaller frogs, small lizards, baby dinosaurs, and small mammals. They are similar to their ancestors.

Madagascar Grassland
Grasslands with few trees.

Mammals

 * Tiger Mongoose - Descended from mongooses that grew larger (about the size of a leopard) and became carnivorous. They are the main predators of Grant's goat.


 * Grant's Goat - Descended from feral goats that were introduced to Madagascar by humans. They became more ibex-like in build, strength, horns, diet, locomotion, and niche.


 * African Sheep - Descended from sheep that were introduced to Madagascar by people. They devolved horns, so instead of fighting back against predators, they have long legs to escape from fast moving predators. They have a similar niche to antelopes of the mainland Africa, Europe, Asia, and North America.


 * Madagascan Zebra - Despite its name, it is actually descended from feral horses that were introduced to Madagascar by humans. They are names because they resemble zebras in pattern, shape, niche  and diet, but is brown and white rather than black and white.


 * Gorilla Ergaster - A large, bipedal descendent of gorillas that rafted to Madagascar. They may only have a diet of fruits, nuts, plant stalks, and roots and dark brown fur, but they have the intelligence and niche of Homo Ergaster, hence its name.

Madagascar Shoreline
This is a shoreline with many seashore animals that mainly come here to mate or lay eggs.

Mammals

 * Dwarf Orca - Descended from orcas that migrated to Madagascar shorelines. It is smaller than their ancestors, hence their name, about half the size of their ancestors.


 * Madagascar Sea Lion - Descended from sea lions that migrated to Madagascar. They are about 40 pounds bigger than their ancestors due to an Ice Age.
 * Dwarf Dolphin - Descended from dolphins that shrank until they're only about the size of a medium-size dog.

Bird

 * Madagascar Penguin - Descended from Adelle penguins that migrated to Madagascar. They are slightly smaller than their ancestors and they devolved their "chinstrap" pattern on their neck.

Swamps
Madagascar's swamps are not as common as present swamps of Madagascar, due to an Ice Age, but are still present. Many animal and plant life flourishes here. Unlike in other continents. Crocodiles face stiff competition from amphibians

Reptiles

 * Madagascan Desmatosuchus - There are 9 species of Madagascan Desmatosuchus. They range in size from monitor lizard size to Nile crocodile sized ones. They are herbivores. They are similar to their ancestors.

Amphibians

 * New prionosuchus - The largest predator in Madagascar. 7 tons. Looks like normal prionosuchus.
