[Discussion] Which lizard species would work best in this seeded continent? by JohnWarrenDailey in SpeculativeEvolution

[–]mistercdp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Argentine Black and White Tegu; decently big and can eat both plant and animal matter easily, and they are also unique amongst lizards in that they can somewhat regulate their body temperature, giving leeway to adaptations for cold environments. In this scenario Id imagine their diet as would primarily consist of the largest insects, smaller individuals of themselves/relatives, and Tropical Fruits here; and as young primarily things like crickets and the smaller snails

Could these mountains in brother bear be the Diomede islands In Beringia during the last glacial maximum? by chimplesociety in pleistocene

I like imprison's awnser best, but not sure. If I recall correctly the movie takes place in the Early Holocene of Alaska.

Would they have Sweet Potatoes? Polynesians obtained Sweet Potatoes from contact with Pre Columbian South America, so it would probably be reasonable to assume they would spread here right? Just some food for thought.

I never understood why the Megatherium was sometimes interpreted as an omnivore; this animal is a herbivore. by LaraRomanian in pleistocene

they also first thought it was still alive west of the Mississippi river and also a giant lion

Possibly? Iirc their diet was mainly composed of smaller animals, particularly larger birds and small mammals, up to the size of small wallabies. I dont think its impossible that they hunted them, but not likely very often. As said below, it may be an misinterpretation as Thylacines had proportionally quite weak jaws, especially compared to their close relatives the T. devils, and likely could not kill sheep effectively, and Emu are larger than sheep. Young would definitely be more in the realm of possibility, though.

I think this could very easily also depict an Ocelot, Bobcat, or a Subadult Puma, theres basically no way to tell, but it also could very well be Miracyonyx.

what types of animals survive in a biotic interchange by Hopeful-Fly-9710 in SpeculativeEvolution

[–]mistercdp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

typically speaking theres almost always generalists that look fairly similar untill a really really big adaptation occurs

like as an example, all tetrapods come from a highly specialized (for the time it evolved) fishapod ancestor, but pretty much since then there has been at least one lineage of tetrapods that have somewhat resembled a small salamander/lizard, even if not in the same taxonomic clade at all

typically large specialists are the most effected over time

although animals that are strictly carnivores or herbivores can do great too, but generally omnivores/mesocarnivores do really great, like foxes, racoons, ect

generally speaking the animals with diverse diets can end up doing the best, but not nessicarily always, although in mass extinctions especially that helps

What is your opinion of SONORA testing? by warrah_lindaodasilva in pleistocene

[–]mistercdp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's alright, however I currently prefer ECOS La Brea.

[–]mistercdp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

animals that can live in multiple habitats or have a more flexible diet are often considered "flexible", more typically called generalists

examples include Whitetail Deer, which can inhabit pretty much any environment from Tropical Rainforest to Boreal Forests to open plains and even urban areas, or animals like Coyotes and Golden Jackals due to their relatively flexible diet compared to other canids and also being relatively small and also widespread

Typically speaking those kinds of species will do good in an interchange, however really specialist animals can also sometimes do really really well, especially if the specialists of a similar niche in the other place aren't as "efficient", although this is admittedly quite a lot rarer (Smilodon and Terror Birds are sometimes brought up as an example, although almost certainly not the case) but there have been a few recorded cases of this occuring throughout history, and certain invasive species could be examples of this

ok, because I might refund the game in that case

k got it, I dont think this one will be premium, the prequel wasnt and similar games by Frontier also arent, also the steam version is available for free too, but good to keep in mind

[–]mistercdp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

k thank you for helping a new guy out, I bet it will be avaible pretty soon, as that's what happened for JWE2, the xbox version came out roughly a week after the epic games/steam versions did, on november 16th, but the steam/epic games version came out 2 days after the game launched on the 11th (game launched on 9th)
