Apparently these prehistoric tigers had extra sharp carnassials to feed super quickly in case cheetahs etc showed up to steal their kill :B

[Credit: FernandoLR] [Media: The Last Airbender] The four tribes reimagined as biological creatures

Alright, this is another episode of the Speculative Wildlife Research Center channel that just released, this time being about Avatar! The one with the elemental bending, you know?

Anyway, the creatures of these tribes are sapient like us humans:

  • Water - Large, bipedal salamanders, just like Earth's actual giant salamander.
  • Earth - Subterrain badger-like mustelids, larger and stronger than most burrowing animals.
  • Fire - Relatives of monitor lizards, who attacked one day to expand their rule to other kingdoms.
  • Air - Flightless birds who can't fly instead using gliders, their own wings have hand claws like the Hoatzin.

Anyway, Cookie Monster is a species of sloth that moved on from its aquatic lifestyle; the green color and sharp teeth is what a wild Cookie Monster looks like; a reference to his early design back in the 1960s known as a Wheel Stealer.

The cookies they were fed with led to issues like stress and Pica, referencing Cookie Monster eating non-cookie stuff.

Thankfully, they don't eat cookies anymore, instead having their food hidden in cookie-shaped cases.

So, now we know there was an even larger fossa than Cryptoprocta spelaea; C. bevatabe may have been up to 27-43 kg, the size of a small puma or leopard! (Art by HodariNundu)

source

Was this the mystery big black fossa that frightened people as recently as…. 1989???

(We also now know the big black fossa in Prehistoric Planet was in fact bevatabe, not spelaea as we all assumed :B which only makes me wish we had seen it hunting giant lemur even more!)

Not one but two versions, one small and one big!

The smaller Tarrasque comes from French mythology, while the bigger Tarrasque comes from Dungeons and Dragons.

If you're wondering what these things evolved from, they're a surviving clade of Meiolaniid turtles.

Palaeoloxodon namadicus, possibly the largest land mammal ever, is NOT happy to find a smaller Elephas in its turf! (Art by HodariNundu)

Inspired by cases of modern elephants attacking cattle, and also the fact P. namadicus apparently forced E. hysudricus to change its diet/habitat.

Ever since we got the zombies, these things are always EMPTY every single time

Especially when you all have is weapons that don't do squat against zombies

These massive space organisms are separate from the real Sun and Moon, being their own things and more inspired by suns/moons that have faces all across media.
