This week we entered our newly discovered species into The Battle of Evolution. It was a mighty struggle for survival which ended in extinction for many. The environmental factors we had to face were harsh:
Ice Ages wiped out thin, hairless creatures.
Global Warming was a nightmare for our furry, bulky species.
Dangerous Predators were a real threat for those with short legs (although stripes and spots came in handy for camouflage!)
Tall Plants growing in the area provided a great food supply – but only for those that could reach them.
Pity help you if your species were dwindling when the Meteor struck – there really was no escape from that!
In the end, only the fittest survived:
Tobin’s Elabutterfoot and
Skye’s Elebatnormouser
Their species were diverse enough to survive and thrive in their ever-changing environment.
It has been a fun and fascinating way to discover how species have evolved over time and really makes us appreciate all the amazing creatures we share Planet Earth with. What a Wonderful World!
