Australia (New Pleistocene)

Australia has relatively stayed the same, but due to the invasive species introduced during the Holocene, some smaller marsupials went extinct, also many invasive species formed new species or subspecies. Many sea animals from Antarctica also migrated from Antarctica to Australia. In the late Holocene komodo dragons were released to act as a proxy for the extinct Megalania.

Australian Coast
Many fauna inhabit the Australian coast.

Mammals

 * Oceanian Elephant Seal - A future type of elephant seal, descended from theceratosaurs.lephant seal. It is both the largest pinniped and member of the order Carnivora. Similar to it's ancestors in all respects.


 * Common Bottlenosed Dolphin - A relatively large species of dolphin.


 * Dugong - An aquatic herbivorous mammal.


 * Orca - A toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family.

Birds

 * Fairy Penguin - The smallest species of penguin, it evolved from a group of little blue penguins.
 * Little Blue Penguin - A species of penguin. It is a second smallest penguin on earth. Same species alive today.


 * Monk Penguin - A penguin evolved from emperor penguins that were washed up on Australia. It is the largest species of penguin, about a meter and a half tall (5ft). It is sometimes eaten by orcas.


 * Lord Penguin - A species of penguin that evolved from emperor penguins. It is similar to their ancestors.


 * False Lord Penguin - A penguin that evolved from king penguin. It has stayed the same from their ancestors.


 * Adelie Penguin - A penguin that came from Antarctica, it is similar to Antarctic Adelie penguins.


 * Chinstrap Penguin - A species of penguin that came from Antarctica that remained unchanged.


 * Macaroni Penguin - A penguin that came from Antarctica, it has relatively stayed the same.

Reptiles

 * Zeusosaurus - Named after the Greek god Zeus. These creatures are descended from kronosauruses. 12 meters and 25 tons.

Fish

 * Tyrannoselachus - A cardabiodontid shark (all descendants of prehistoric animals are escaping places by the way). These creatures like cold water (Like Zeusosaurus). 12 meters and 28 tons.

Australian Plains
A grassland during wet season, a desert during dry season. It however has gotten drier, due to the horses trampling soil making it harder for rain in some areas to form puddles.

Mammals

 * Red Kangaroo - A large species of kangaroo, with reddish-tan fur. It is the most common large macropod in Australia.


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


 * Sloth Kangaroo - A kangaroo evolved to eat from higher up trees, it is similar morphologically to a ground sloth. It is about the size of an Asian elephant and widespread throughout Australia. It is the largest species of kangaroos.


 * Diprotodon - Originally extinct in the Late Pleistocene, but were brought back in the Late Holocene by humans. It is a widespread large herbivorous marsupial.


 * Giant Kangaroo - Evolved from a group of Red Kangaroos that resembles the long-extinct procoptodon in size, appearance, and locomotion. Unlike other kangaroos, giant kangaroos are not hoppers, but walking kangaroos instead.


 * Outback Rhinoceros - Descended from white rhinoceroses that were introduced to Australia by humans in Mid Holocene. They are slightly smaller than their ancestors due to outback having less water than in Africa.


 * Running Kangaroo - Evolved from a group of wallabies (despite their name), they fill a similar niche to mainland antelopes. Unlike their ancestors, they run on all fours, so they can no longer hop on hind legs or stand on hind legs.


 * Wallaby - A marsupial similar to a larger kangaroo.


 * Flatland Dingo - The same species around today, it is the predator of kangaroo and ungulates. It also learned to fear the theriosaurs.


 * Australian Wolf - Descended from gray wolves that escaped from zoos and interbred with dingos. They resemble a mainland gray wolf, but is tannisn-brown in color. Unlike dingos, they also communicate by howling.


 * Australian Fox - A subspecies of red fox, that evolved from red foxes that were introduced by Europeans.


 * Brumby - A horse that was introduced during the Holocene by humans as a domestic animal. It is similar to a domestic horse, but has rounded-ears and smaller hooves. They run in large herds, dominated by a male.


 * Mainland Thylacine - During the Holocene, thylacines were hunted to extinction. But were later cloned in the Mid-Holocene. They compete with other mid-sized predators like wildcats, lions and foxes.


 * Outback Elephant - Descended from elephants that were introduced to Australia by humans. They are smaller than their ancestors, about the size of a juvenile African elephant, as there are less food and water in Australia than in Africa or Asia.


 * Australian Cat - A descendant of feral domestic cats that were introduced to Australia during the Holocene. They resemble an abyssinian cat or a sand cat in color, but are about the size of an African serval. Larger forward facing ears get rid of heat and long nimble legs help it escape from larger predators and aid it to catch prey.


 * Australian Camel - A descendant of feral dromedary x Bactrian camels, they vaguely resemble a guanaco, and have short fur and forward facing, round-ears that rotate to help it hear its natural predators.


 * Férodón - A large carnivorous marsupial, inhabiting Australia. It evolved from Tasmanian devils that were introduced to Australia by humans for Pleistocene Rewilding. They resemble striped hyenas and a thylacine, but are larger. It is outcompeted by dingoes, lions and thylcacines, so it is a scavenger.


 * Desert deer - Evolved from fallow deer introduced, it has orange fur and larger ears. It also evolved to store some water during drought.


 * Swamp Buffalo - Evolved from water buffaloes introduced to Australia by humans in Holocene. They are now slightly smaller and more amphibious than their ancestors, so now they have a similar niche to that of a hippopotamus.


 * Desert Vole - A descendant of mice brought to Australia, by European settlers. They are subterranean and live in large family groups. They fill the role similar to mainland's gophers, groundhogs and moles. They are about the size of a guinea pigs. Smaller ears, larger claws, shorter coats aid them in survival.


 * Australian Meerkat - Evolved from Mongoose (not meerkats, despite its name), that were introduced to Australia by humans in Holocene. They have a niche similar to an African Meerkat. Their favorite prey are insects, lizards, desert voles, and outback bilbies.


 * Awiati - A species of predatory bat, that is found in some parts of Australia. It preys on small animals, like desert voles and wallabies.


 * Australian Lion - Evolved from lions that escaped from zoos. They are slightly smaller than their ancestors due to less water.


 * Australian Hyena - Evolved from hyenas that escaped from zoos. They are similar to their ancestors.


 * Australian Hippopotamus - Evolved from hippos that escaped from zoos. They are smaller than their ancestors, about the size of a pygmy hippopotamus, as there are less food and water in Australia than in Africa or Asia.


 * Outback Bear - Descended from black bears that escaped from zoos. Some black bears lives in desert-like reigns, so it's not unlikely that some bears could survive in Australian outbacks. They are similar to their ancestors, but are bigger (about the size of a brown bear) due to no competition with lions, dingos, wolves, and thylacines, they also have slightly larger ears and less fat, due to Australia being slightly warmer than North America.


 * Australian Boar - Evolved from feral pigs introduced, that lives in the Northern Part of Australia.


 * Outback Bilby - A descendant of Greater Bilby, it in the Outback of Australia.


 * Giant Ground Wombat - Descended from hairy nosed wombats that is now similar in appearance and size to the long-extinct Zygomaturus. Unlike its ancestors, it can no longer dig. It doesn't need to dig since its protection from most predators is its giant size, the bigger an animal is, the less likely for it to be preyed upon by most carnivores.


 * Morton's Wombat - A large marsupial that evolved from the common wombat. It is widespread across Australia and about the size of a mastiff.


 * Outback Rabbit - Evolved from rabbits introduced from Europe to Australia.


 * Outback Hare - Evolved from hares introduced to Australia.


 * Outback Ground Squirrel - Evolved from squirrels that were introduced to Australia.
 * Daedon - Although entelodonts were present in Africa. In Australia they became more prominent. The largest in Australia being the biggest carnivorous land mammal along with other creodonts. Australian Daedon weighs 2 tons. There are 10 species of entelodonts in Australia.
 * Australian Chalicothere - Descended from Ancylotherium that lives in Australian Outbacks. There are about 14 species of Australian Chalicothere. They are herbivores. They are similar to their ancestors.

Birds

 * False Moa - Evolved from emus that resemble the long extinct genyornis in size, appearance, and behavior. Unlike the long-extinct moas, they are able to breed fast like their ancestors, for such large birds.


 * Australian Ground Parrot - Evolved from Emus (despite their name) that resembles the prehistoric gastornis in appearance, size, behavior, and locomotion. They're called Ground Parrots because they resemble large, terrestrial parrots. Their favorite food they can eat are large nuts and hard fruit.

Reptiles

 * Theriosaur - A descendant of komodo dragons released in Australia, to act as a proxy for the extinct megalania. It is larger than it's ancestor and is the apex predator of Australia, though not as big as megalania, only about 16 feet long from tail-tip to snout-tip. Even though they are apex predators, they sometimes rely on mammalian predators for kills. They seem to tolerate other predators, like dingoes, thylacines, foxes, lions, hyenas and ferodon.


 * Mega Python - Related to the woma and black headed python. This reptile has undergone gigantism due to an abundance of food, ( such as desert voles and morton wombats) and high levels of heat. This snake is cunning, extremely stealthy and blends into the sand perfectly. It has been known to reach lengths of up to 25 feet long.


 * Sand Taipan - The descendent of the Inland Taipan, this snake has evolved to life in the deep desert by adopting a color similar to sand, the ability to effeciently retain water, and large venom glands.


 * Apex Goanna - Evolved from the goanna monitor lizards of Holocene Australia. This lizard can grow up to 12 feet long. They have been known to be preyed upon by Theriosaurs.


 * Neomuttaburasaurus - Having little to fear (they're not afraid of thylacines, lions, hyenas, dingos, wolves, etc.), because they are about 6 meters and 2 tons. However, they are preyed by large carnivorous dinosaurs.


 * Giant Australian land crocodile - Evolved from quinkana (old pleistocene land crocodile). They compete with the larger carnivores. 9 meters and 3 tons


 * Thunder claw - Evolved from lightning claw dinosaurs who escaped dinosaur parks. 10 meters and 3 tons. They are carnivores.

 * Tasmanian Devil - A Carnivorous marsupial only in Tasmania.


 * Australian Devil - Descended from Tasmanian devils that were introduced to Australia by humans for Pleistocene Rewilding. It sesembles its Tasmanian ancestors, but it is dark brown in fur color, not black. It is found across Australia except Tasmania.


 * Tiger Quoll - A small carnivorous marsupial found across Australia.


 * Tasmanian Thylacine - During the Holocene, thylacines were hunted to extinction. But were later cloned in the mid-Holocene. Found Only In Tasmania.


 * Koala - A arboreal marsupial, that's diet consists of eucalyptus plants.

 * Short-beaked Echidna - A species of Echidna, found in forests and sometimes the Australian plains.


 * Forest Mouse - A small arboreal rodent that evolved from the house mouse. It adapted to feed on the forest floor and will sometimes hibernate during dry season if in the plains. They nest in trees.


 * Australian Cougar - A descendant of domestic cats, that evolved into a leopard-like form. It is similar in behavior to a cougar/puma, hence it's name.


 * Australian Forest Squirrel - Evolved from squirrels that were introduced to Australia from Europe.


 * Australian Rabbit - A cottontail rabbit-like descendants of European rabbits that were introduced to Australia.

Birds

 * Emu - A large flightless-bird, that tend to avoid arid areas in Australia.


 * Southern Cassowary - A large flightless bird, distantly related to emus, it has a large head-crest.


 * Australian Moa - Despite its name, size, and appearance, they actually evolved from a group of emus. They are named because of their size, appearance, niche, and locomotion.
