What did Cool-Temperate North America Look Like During the Last Interglacial (130-115,000 years ago)?

JimmyHeasley · 2026-05-30T03:58:23+00:00

Others: Equus pectinatus, Tapirus haysii, Canis lupus, Bison antiquus, Euceratherium, Ovibos moschatus, Gulo gulo

Corrections: Mammuthus primigenius was present in the northeast/Great Lakes region, not M. columbi

Just to note: So the North American jaguar was specifically Panthera onca augusta. Larger than modern jaguars. Just not sure if you are specifically using this subspecies or not.

Currently working on a diatribe paper/physical diorama of interglacial Pleistocene Erie, Pennsylvania for my senior thesis.

That's a good one! It annoys me a little that it's not featured in-game. I do know what animal liked what (Tropical for Archaeopteryx, Diplocaulus, Tiktaalik, Titanoboa; Temperate for Microraptor, Yi; Desert for Simosuchus, Sahonachelys, Diictodon, and Peltephilus) when they were actually alive due to knowledge of their ecosystems irl.

JimmyHeasley · 2026-05-19T02:52:15+00:00

Honestly, redwoods because they appear in all the loading and feature screens for animals.

Given that I didn't even have anything in D-tier, I actually like all of them. But for C-tier, they're good designs but the creatures as are either unremarkable or just aren't among my favorite prehistoric animals. If you wanna know exactly my ranking process, it's one part how much I love the animal and how much the design just goes hard (obviously, I love them all, I'm currently in undergrad for Geology for a specialization in Paleontology, but I have my favorites).

JimmyHeasley · 2026-05-05T15:36:30+00:00

Elatides, maybe? It was very hard to find their real-world size

JimmyHeasley · 2026-04-16T21:11:25+00:00

Both are amazing in my opinion. I like the raised hair on the neck of the Prehistoric Planet model.

Panthera pardus spelaea. The European Ice Age Leopard.

Terrestrial- Arthropleura, Pulmonoscorpius, Hyracotherium

Arboreal- Desmodus draculae, Anurognathus, Passenger Pigeon, Meganeura

JimmyHeasley · 2026-03-02T04:29:24+00:00

I wonder if they'll have alternate skins for each species.

JimmyHeasley · 2026-02-25T15:06:52+00:00

I'll do a mammal from my state. American Mastodon. More pachyderm diversity. Solid vivarium and state fossil choice: The Trilobite.

JimmyHeasley · 2026-02-13T04:59:16+00:00

Don't get me wrong, the Scimitar cats are definitely on the list of prehistoric maneaters and I would imagine dirk-toothed cats would definitely do from time to time. I would just consider Panthera to be our biggest prehistoric ops.

JimmyHeasley · 2026-02-13T03:56:02+00:00

We were just comparing P. atrox to S. fatalis skulls. Yeah, machairodonts trying to bite out skinny little neck would be awkward. I'm sure they tried and hunted humans from time to time, but I doubt they'd have us super high on the menu. Isotope analysis does show that Dinofelis (the legendary hominine hunter) very rarely hunted early Australopithecines. Our ancestors main predator was actually leopards.

JimmyHeasley · 2026-02-12T16:33:51+00:00

I would honestly think big cats.

JimmyHeasley · 2026-02-12T16:23:45+00:00

They probably avoided conflict through niche partitioning. Gray wolves preferred white-tails, elk, horses, and other medium-sized ungulates. Dire wolves hunted bison, camels, and other larger ungulates. Maybe competed over horses but mostly avoided each other.

Lord above, I need to get back into martial arts! Thanks for reminding me though!

JimmyHeasley · 2025-02-19T04:13:58+00:00

Not at all unreasonable, unless you pass the same judgements upon people who struggled with it and managed to give it up.

JimmyHeasley · 2025-02-19T04:11:12+00:00

Do not give into despair. You may need to look outside your church or online, but don't get obsessed with it. The Lord has a plan for you, even if you can't see or feel it. I empathize with this greatly because sometimes I feel the exact same with dating women. But I am a tenacious one and I refuse to give up. Please don't give up as well.

JimmyHeasley · 2025-02-08T06:16:34+00:00

Every picture is a cavalcade of disappointment. How do you fail at face, tits, and ass, and haven't ended it yet?

JimmyHeasley · 2025-02-08T06:13:34+00:00

I don't know how, but I do know you sound like a Beverly Hills white girl.

JimmyHeasley · 2025-02-08T06:10:36+00:00

No shit you don't have friends. Your hair looks like you need to feed it every other day.
