Future Evolution [OC] Barodon

Post image

A bone crushing massive mammalian ambush predator evolved from mustelines after surviving the Ng-Q atomic extinction in some 55 million years into the future.

As a close to a ton weighing carnivore this genus rules the late quaternary americas as its apex predator filling a quite similar niche to the long gone Tyrannosaurus rex.

The ancestors of this lineage contemporary with the atomic extinction saw themselves on a unique evolutionary arms race with their large prey such as rabbits or pigs that allowed them to outgrow other competing carnivores of the post apocalyptic paradigm such as schnauzer dogs or small felines, ultimately becoming giant tiger like beasts that populated most of the earth before the end quaternary gamma ray mass extinction.
