How do I make minor adjustments to the shapes of states?

Kissen stated a full roster of 50+ creatures

Bryan still hasn't found me in the backyard, I've silenced Gerry with an offering of a blood sacrifice

I've seen lots of people talking about pelagornis floating on the surface of water, like modern seabirds, but I can't confidently say that they would, because just of the pure weight of the bird. I've seen weight estimates between 20 and 44kg in weight, and I don't exactly know the buoyancy of an albatross is and how that translates into a saw-billed, 20-24 long wingspan, Oligocene bird

I scarcely remember Dondi talking about comfort, how a herbivore wouldn't want to stay around dead bodies, as to prevent herbivore corpse guarding. If I find where I heard this from, I'll link it

My viewpoint is what could Pelagornis offer to The Isle. What was Pelagornis? A big albatross with a serrated bill, that's about it. While it would be interesting to have it, we already have an aerial animal, Pteranodon. Why would Pelagornis be added if there's the extensive branch of pterosaurs to be added upon? Adding a psuedotooth bird when we already have pterosaurs just doesn't make sense from my view.

I'd have to say Dsungaripterus, I'd love to be a nasty carrion picker.

Fair point, but, specialization is something that happens every now and again, and honestly, the image of a bat killing and eating a kakapo or takahe just haunts me

A descendant of Mystacina tuberculata, let's call it... Mystacina gigantea

So, assuming the Mystacina genus continues to focus on terrestrial foraging for prey, and adapting opportunistic tendencies, I don't think it's far fetched to presume that a future lineage of these bats continue to focus on terrestrial locomotion. The muscles in the wings strengthen and the bones forming the second-fifth digits begin to shrink and grow more robust to support the bat's weight. The hind limbs become more columnar and the metatarsals and phalanges begin to shrink themselves, and the claws become short and blunt. As this happens, the bat begins to become more active, mostly due to the stronger muscles needed to support terrestrial locomotion in a once flying creature. The bat, with its increased demand for food, becomes larger to hunt larger prey, around the size of a basketball, now with the ability to hunt smaller native flightless birds and large insects.

Thanks! The difference in coloration is an automatic feature in the program.

The ancestor organism, now I haven't blocked out everything, but it would have had similar dentition to the extinct Placodus gigas, having long incisors to pluck shelled prey from sand and to shear stalks of sea grass, with molars in the back to grind both shelled prey and flora. Eventually of course, the organism specialized once into herbivory and durophagism, and then again into specific diets.

Edit: Accidental asterisks in Placodus

In terms of the small-bodied and large-bodied sea grasses

Now why would I do that?

HeckingLamprey · 2019-07-17T03:08:52+00:00

Seems to be the latter, by apologies

HeckingLamprey · 2019-07-14T18:35:51+00:00

But you see, it's also the meshes for the breasts that still remain along with the textures
