Tales of Kaimere	comment	Tales of Kaimere is a Speculative Biology project by Keenan Taylor.On a planet called Kaimere, which is about 50 light years from Earth, a bizarre "alien" intelligence, which is composed of microorganisms that evolved on Kaimere itself, has harvested Earth life forms since the Devonian, and has continued to do so until roughly present times. The result is an incredibly diverse ecology and evolutionary history, where groups of Earth's organisms evolved and then met new arrivals from earth, which then continue to co-evolve. Dinosaurs, mammals (including basal groups) and many others populate this ever evolving world. One of the recent arrivals were a group of humans from North Africa, which have developed their own culture and history in this dangerous and intriguing world.See also Serina and Hamster's Paradise; it is a seed world like them, albeit with many more "seeds".

Tales of Kaimere / int_100070c5	type	Meek Mesozoic Mammal
Tales of Kaimere / int_100070c5	comment	Meek Mesozoic Mammal: Mammals, particularly multituberculates, remained as small but diverse generalists in the main continents of Ni'Kar, Arvel, and Kairul during the Tyrant Dynasty, even holding up against incoming competition from Oligocene mammals brought to Ni'Kar. This was subverted following the Tyrant Dynasty. While small multituberculates in the Known World faced competition from incoming rodents, marsupials, and rabbits; in Kairul they were able to grow to large forms even in competition against late Cenozoic mammals and dinosaurs like eudromaeosaur and sub-adult Monarchs. These range from the wolf-size mesopredator Komatu to the aptly named whale-like Kaimeran Leviathan.

They not only use tools long before humans, but can easily learn human languages from both Kaimere and Earth. Along with the Manophants and Crowfolk, they were initially distrustful of the Assembly due to the First Children abducting and experimenting on them, but a few have joined the Assembly in studying Kaimere.

Tales of Kaimere / int_12beeeb2	comment	Non-Heteronormative Society: Zig-zagged, as each culture in Kaimere has its own views on sexuality and orientation The clans of Pakardia are matrilinear, so children are always raised in their mother's family and are usually conceived as diplomatic unions between clans. Romantic unions are seen as distinct from reproductive partners, and these are decided solely by mutual attraction and compatibility regardless of gender or sex, and both remain together for many centuries or even life. Additionally, Pakardia see gender and sex as distinct as the body and spirit, and when they come of they will have their true gender recognized The Qadanith people of the Qajar Republic and the Free State are patrilinear, so there is an emphasis on male-female marriage is enforced so fathers can ensure the paternity of their children. While queers aren't rejected in as they don't threaten the paternity structure and are encouraged in pre-marriage individuals and the mercenary bands and the militarynote only with the same rank, as relationships with a high rank on campaigns would lead to accusations of favoritism, same-sex marriages aren't recognized.

Tales of Kaimere / int_16dda55f	type	Simple Solution Won't Work
Tales of Kaimere / int_16dda55f	comment	Simple Solution Won't Work: They are those in the Assembly that suggest bringing back recently extinct animals on Earth, notably the passenger pigeon and the mammoth, by using the portal to bring some survivors from Kaimere. These proposals are shut down as their sudden appearance plus genetic drift would risk exposing Kaimere. In addition, as intelligent animals the mammoths would be at risk of trauma and poaching if brought to the unfamiliar ecosystem of Earth. During a Q/A video, a Patreon asks why doesn't the Portal help restore Earth after mass extinctions with Kaimeran flora and Fauna, as it would invest in "seeds" for harvest if Kaimere suffers any extinctions. Keenan provides 2 arguments: one, the Portal in it's natural state was a one-way harvest from Earth to Kaimere; and two, the Portal is focused only on the quality of biomass in a specific region of Kaimere and has no interests outside it on both planets. Reducing the biomass from its domain to send it elsewhere, even temporarily, is out of the question.

Tales of Kaimere / int_19ba91b5	comment	Home Field Advantage: While harvested animals tend to outcompete their already weakened competition thanks to advantages such as a lack of predators, they are cases where a native species has better luck. For example, when the Houze Grass arrived to Nikar and a harvest from North Africa was made as a response to the extinctions in the Known World region, they were flightless birds in form of the ostrich from Earth and the Kundi from Kairul. Having co-evolved with the low-nutrient grass, the Enantiornithes outcompeted the newcomer ratite.

Tales of Kaimere / int_1cc48ee9	comment	Multicultural Alien Planet: The Known World alone has five major culture groups of Kaimerans. They range from the diverse and sea-faring Khalin to the horseback Cha'Khati Empire. There are also smaller populations of different non-kaimerian species. Some are hominids with common ancestry to the kaimerans, such as the fast-learning hinterlands giants or the diminutive pakardians. There's even a few species of entirely non-human sophonts. One is a population of sapient miniature elephant on a hidden island and another are several types of tree-dwelling flightless, tapejarid pterosaurs, with the Pakardia crow folk being one of them.

Tales of Kaimere / int_1f6983f7	type	Ambiguous Situation
Tales of Kaimere / int_1f6983f7	comment	Ambiguous Situation: The origins of the Simiomorph Sloths, who's location in the Parkadian rainforest means they are barely any fossil records of their evolution. While genetically similiar to two-toed sloths, it's unknown if they're descendants of sloths from the first Miocene harvest 14 million years ago in North America or the South American Harvest 6 millions ago, with some proposing that the Simiomorph clade came from Earth. A similiar species in jungles west of the Cresent was found to be genetically related to the Cougar Sloth, a known descendant of the North American Sloth, so it is believed by the Assembly that Simiomorph sloth could be related if genetic testing confirms. The timing of the Mid-Tyrant Dynasty Harvest that brought therian mammal megafauna to Kaimere. While volcanic activity and pollen fossil from Oligocene North America time the harvest to around 30 million years ago, fossil records show that bronotheres and Leptictis, both who died out on Earth during the Eocenenote Lepticitis did have ancestors in the Cretacrous, but no fossils of them in the Mesozoic have been found in Kaimere, first appeared around this time. Some in the Assembly suspect the harvest took place earlier, and the fossils of Oligocene mammals such as Hyaenadont and Camelids are the result of convergent evolution. Others argue that since Earth fossil record is incomplete, especially from difficult environments such as woodlands and rainforest, it's possible that bronotheres and other Eocene taxa were on the brink in the Oligocene before being harvested and replicated in Kaimere.

It causes pressure on all life on the continent to avoid making as much noise as possible.

Tales of Kaimere / int_31c5e7fb	comment	Starfish Aliens: The portals are endemic hives of single-cell organisms that can scan objects or lifeforms and recreate them elsewhere. These organisms can also inhabit the bodies of Earth-derived organisms and even grant them abilities like shapeshifting. In a sense, magic is the native lifeform of Kaimere. While none have achieved true multicellular forms, some form colonies with other species of Kaimerian single celled organisms to be strange aeroplanktonic organisms that float high in Kaimere's atmosphere, much like siphonophores in Earth's oceans. Some of the earliest tetrapod life brought from Earth during its Devonian Period are quite strange compared to Earth life and later Kaimeran lifeforms. A total of six clades endemic to Kaimere exist in its fossil record, and all have some living representatives somewhere on the planet, usually in remote parts away from the Portal like Eastern Kairul or the deep forests of Kaishel. These included the three-eyed Fabadonts, the blind and non-newtonian spewing Hetereoterms, the walking, five-limbed descendants of lobe-finned fish known as Ambuloichthyia, and the massive Dignathium with Nested Mouths use for vegetation.

Like the okapi or gorilla, they were many real creatures that were originally thought to be cryptids but were eventually confirmed, such as the Ru Kel or the Emerald Fabadonts. Many cryptids on Earth are either believed or confirmed by the Assembly to be homoculi created by the First Children or their Harvest Men.

Notably, they are more predatory compared to other thescelosaurs and hadrosaurs of this trope, with fish and small games making up 50 percent of their diet. And for the larger drakes like the Jugashen, "small" game includes people.

Tales of Kaimere / int_48d94bb8	comment	Creator Backlash: In-Universe for Assembly naturalist AndrÃ© Durand. In the 1800s, Durand used the old feudal system as an analogy for how the ecosystems on Kaimere worked, with the Robust Monarchs dependent on the health and well-being of their "kingdom," which includes both their prey, their vassals such as large cockatrices and terror birds, and the lower nobility of big cats. Later in his life, Durand saw his old proposal as a childish oversimplification, and he publically and privately denounced it to the end of his life. Unfortunately for him, the analogy was heavily favored by the upper-class scholars that made up the majority of the Assembly at that time, and the Vassal Predator model is still used to this day, albeit because it allows modern Earth megafauna to be viewed as nobles rather than mesopredators compared to the megaraptors.

After he saved her from Kiriq, she confesses that rather than killing a scorned and wrathful Olenari after finding out about Ja'Kosi and Kiriq's affair, Ja'Kosi killed Olenari out of terror as the other woman tried to calm her down and admits she now believes his stories. Indrakai smiles in caring warmth, then says the following line. After Ra Maslani wakes up and sees the mysterious predator of Haunted Legacy, he can identify it from both Library's records and stories from those in the south.

Tales of Kaimere / int_5ced9082	comment	On Earth, Elephants are associated with huge size due to being the largest land animal. On Kaimere, the majority of large Proboscideans died out and most surviving lineages underwent insular dwarfism. Kaimerans in the known world associate elephants and their relatives with being moderate-size mammals ranging from the size of a dog to the size of a horse. The Drenduga is an exception to this rule, but it is seen there as a giant version of the smaller elephants rather than a fairly normal elephant in a region of the world populated mostly by dwarf elephants.

Tales of Kaimere / int_5e2283b4	type	New Life in Another World Bonus
Tales of Kaimere / int_5e2283b4	comment	New Life in Another World Bonus: South American mammals harvested during the late Miocene period, especially sloths, gained an advantage on Kaimere both to familiarity with two-legged theropod predators (terror birds on Earth and Megaraptors on Kaimere) and, in the case of xenarthrans, their lower metabolism helping them adjust to the warmer climate compared to other placental mammals. The trilobites of earth were reduced during the Devonian and went extinct during the great dying, but the ones transferred to Kaimere found great success thanks to the same conditions that affected them back home not happening with the same intensity. They survived to the modern day and are one of the more abundant marine invertebrates. Hesperotherium were among the last of the chalicotheres on Pleistocene Earth, and Gigantopithecus were losing their habitat at the time. Both of them found new success in Kaimere highlands even against competition with dinosaurs and sloths. Homo erectus may have faced more challenges with large theropod predators in Kaimere when they were first harvested, but their previous predators like hyenas and big cats had to deal with vassal predators like Phorusrhacids and sub-adults megaraptors that favor them over the unfamiliar primates. This gave Erectus breathing room in the dense Arvel forests and eventually the chance to spread across Kaimere and evolve into various Human Subspecies.

Thereâ€™s also a species of nimravid eking out a niche in known Kaimere; larger species of nimravids and barbourofelids still do exist in the large Eastern Continent. That being said, few of these species can claim to be the apex predators of their ecosystem as they have to compete with therapod dinosaurs that outweigh them by several orders of magnitude.

Karakai, a common small firebird, has domesticated themselves akin to cats. As they can fly, they are popular by Kaimerans as their "falcons" when hunting both small and large game. The Keynu, or Hound Cockatrices, is described as a dinosaur domesticated by another dinosaur. When their ancestors arrived to the Known World, they formed symbiotic bonds with Robust Monarchs as guardians of their nests and eggs while Megaraptors brought them food. This continues today with Zentaur and the oritaku continuing to use hound Cockatrices as guard animals.

Tales of Kaimere / int_99ddfcec	comment	Unwitting Instigator of Doom: When the Dire Badger arrived to Kaimere, their gluttonous appetite for eggs pushed many dinosaurs to endangerment or extinction. The dinosaurs capable of raising the next generation were the ones with the strongest instinct against nest-raiding mammals, which led them to be preemptively aggressive to all mammals, humans included. After the First Children culled the megafauna of the Qajar Peninsula, the Portal attempted to bring megafauna like mastodon and smilodon from North America 11,000 years ago. Their sudden appearance, along with the rampage from mastodon and predators hunting down the First Children and their slaves, caused the Children to find out about the portal. This leads them to capture the Portal and trap it in the Whistling Door. Ancient gomphotheres arrived on Kaimere and were present when Megaraptors evolved into the top predators. Both groups entered an evolutionary arms race between predator and prey. So when the Portal brought any other proboscidians to the Known World, many were wiped out by Megaraptors that knew how to best kill them thanks to instincts honed against gomphotheres. 1.5 million years ago, a cooling period and a mass extinction in the Known World caused the Portal to bring in flora and fauna from Southeast Asia and later Sahul to replenish the lost of biomass. Not only did the influx of competition and disease caused more extinction to weakened species, but among the animals brought were Homo erectus. The ancient homonid was a clever and skilled hunter that would cause another extinction and harvest in the Arvelith Highland. Over a million years later, one branch of erectus evolved into the First Children, who not only enslaved and experimented on other sophont species and wiped out the megafauna and native people of the Qajar Peninsula, but found out about the Portal and captured it for their use.

Controlled by a very strong hive of endemic magic, the magic detests any form of animal life, and especially humans, in its territory and does everything that it can to drive them away. The bones of animals are displayed embedded within the trunks of trees that border the forest, corpses of various large animals that have wandered in are animated to do various tasks that animals normally perform for a forest like seed dispersal, fertilization and promoting plant growth, and it spreads spores to any explorers that manage to escape that infect the body and cause a slow and painful death, as if to serve as a warning to anyone else who wants to explore the cursed forest.

The first pterosaur episode includes the history of flying animals in Kaimere, with the First and Permian Dynasties having a clade of basal tetrapods called Heterotherms that hunt with echolocation and potent venom. The Moorkutlot is part of the same clade (defined as a distinct derived clade of tetrapods seperate from amniotes and amphibians) and was descended from an ancient gliding Heterotherm. The 2023 April Fools' Day episode had the Xhetsukaan, an ancient Parkardian tetrapod that uses non-newtonian fluid to paralyze its prey. The Xhetsukaan is actually a Heterotherms. And like the Xhetsukaan, the Moorkutlot uses non-newtonian fluid to hunt by injecting the fluid into the blood. The Xhetsukaan also has a far larger relative that lives in the Salt desert in the center of Kaishel.

Justified as they have been bred over centuries akin to dogs on Earth or the Akanuk Dogs to the South, and even have notable physical differences compared to wild lions such as lack of manes (mainly for hunting and war lions) and different skull shapes. Parkadians have a range of unique pets, including pangolins, simiomorph sloths, and a small firebird that's the mix of a falcon and a cat. The Maku from the Eastern continent keep domesticated Marsupial Lions as their pets. However, they were originally from Parkadia and were first domesticated by the First Children.

They get nutrients primarily from blood, and if they go too long without blood they'll go into a stasis akin to their heterothermes origins. Ironically, they not only lack the weakness of sunlight from myths but metabolize it for extra healing and nutrients.

Notably, these elephants were all willing volunteers and Munarak would invest heavily into things like armor for them to keep them alive. While not elephants, the war ghlanos were very similar in application. The Shu would accomplish this by both gelding young male ghlanos and having them imprint on their herds of horses so as to make them easier to train. They would also be fitted with armor and use their massive claws to help tear down castle walls.

Tales of Kaimere / int_ae6adc36	comment	Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: Three species of madtsoiid snakes are named after serpents from different myths on Earth. The Rainbow Serpent of the Known World and the Dreamtime Serpent from the waters of Kairul take their names from Australian folklore. The massive marine Jormungandr from the seas near the Permian Continent is named after the world serpent from Norse mythology. The largest marine therocephalians of the Northern Hemisphere is called Tiamat, named after the primordial godess of Babylonian myth. A filter-feeding mosasaur is named after the greek monster Scylla, due to being mistaken for a fearsome predator when first discovered by the Assembly. The video on the Sebecids reveals that this is standard practice for the Assembly thanks to their strict rules on contacting cultures from outside the Known World. As a result of these rules, Assembly naturalists will often not know what the local names for unfamiliar fauna and flora are and so use terms from Earth as a neutral stand-in - hence, the last known living Sebecid genus is called the Ammut because both because of similarities to the figure from Egyptian mythology and because the Assembly wasn't willing to interfere with the cultures who interacted with it on a regular basis just to find out what its name is.

The most dangerous is the Gotwat, a huge macaque that is similar in disposition to a chimpanzee and will attack and kill people if given the chance.

Tales of Kaimere / int_b2280b66	comment	Retcon: As science marches on and Keenan refines the world of Kaimere, these happened on occassion. The Bilaruk was originally a non-therian mammal that came from the Eastern Continent by walking on the sea floor to the Inlands Sea of the Known World, with a misshapen skull to keep an eye out for predators while feeding on sea grass. Once concluding the Bilaruk couldn't make it to the Known World by walking, Keenan gave the Bilaruk's original design to a non-therian exclusive to Kairul, while Bilaruk instead is an old name for the Kaimeran Leviathan, a Basilosaurid-like multituberculate that feeds on seagrass and tiny crabs and worms it sucks up. The original elephant episode from 2021 had only two island dwarf proboscidians in the south seas of the Known World, the pig-sized Paleoloxodon known as the Tuga and the intelligent Chuga that are the descendant of Asian elephants. The 2023 elephant special expanded the history and number of species of surviving elephant on Kaimere. The Tuga is now an old general term for southern dwarf proboscidians of various lineages harvested from Earth, and the Chuga is the name of a mythical human-elephant hybrid based on the Manophants, who live north of the Known World and are descendants of gomphotheres. In the early videos, the new common ornithischian after hadrosaurs were wiped out in the Dynastic Extinction were called parksosaurs, since at the time the parkosaur clade was considered a basal ornithischian like elasmerians. After new research place Parksosaurs as members of thescelosaurs, Keenan split the Parksosaurs between the thescelosaurs of Ni'kar and the elasmerians of Arvel.

Tales of Kaimere / int_b2463ea1	comment	Intellectual Animal: A species of miniature island proboscidian, called the Khorikoim or the Manephaunts, have become intelligent enough to form their own civilization. Even many of the regular proboscidians are highly intelligent and are capable of communicating with those who learn their language and even striking deals with them. Many flightless species of Tapejarid pterosaurs, who no longer have to devote brain power to flight navigation, are far more intelligent. A few species like the Notzokidue of Pakardia are sapient beings rather than mere beasts. A branch of Enteledonts have evolved to be more social and intelligent, even capable of mimicking human words. They are even rumors that their domesticated relatives in the Eastern continent are capable of actually speaking with their riders. The Skraa'aae, a sophont theropod from Southern Kairul. They not only use tools long before humans, but can easily learn human languages from both Kaimere and Earth.

Tales of Kaimere / int_c335b9ec	type	Irony
Tales of Kaimere / int_c335b9ec	comment	Irony: On Earth, Elephants are associated with huge size due to being the largest land animal. On Kaimere, the majority of large Proboscideans died out and most surviving lineages underwent insular dwarfism. Kaimerans in the known world associate elephants and their relatives with being moderate-size mammals ranging from the size of a dog to the size of a horse. The Drenduga is an exception to this rule, but it is seen there as a giant version of the smaller elephants rather than a fairly normal elephant in a region of the world populated mostly by dwarf elephants. In a post showing a preview of ogres (who like other homunculi are humans modified with other animal DNA), it's the Prarie Giants, who have the most influence from Titanosaurs, that retains the most of their original human shape compared to their cousons with influences from fellow mammals, such as the hukolgor sloth and the drenduga. This is because the lighter bones and air sacs from Titanosaurs mean those ogres don't have to invest more in size-related anatomy like their cousins. On Earth, Toxodon fossils were baffling for naturalists like Charles Darwin for how unusual they were compared to living taxa. On Kaimere, the large number in the Known World along with their lack of noticeable physical traits make them seen as a generic beasts to Kaimerans.

Tales of Kaimere / int_cf0e2e03	comment	Toxic Dinosaur: Two groups of closely-related theropods, the colorful Firebirds and the semi-aquatic Penguin Raptors, both evolve venom to quietly and quickly kill their prey. The Penguin Raptors need to kill their prey fast before other predators in the coast could arrive, while the Firebirds have to be quiet and not draw out the Silent Ones.

Tales of Kaimere / int_d51553de	comment	Our Wormholes Are Different: The Portal Organism in its natural state sends out smaller swarms to other regions (originally on just Kaimere but then to spots on Earth), break down viable resources and animals, and around a century later replicate them in the main region to enhance the environment quality. The process is only a one-way trip from Earth to Kaimere. After the First Children captured and modified the portal using the Whistling Door, it can now bring people and animals in both directions in a matter of minutes.

Tales of Kaimere / int_d5ac9158	comment	Harping on About Harpies: The Children of the Sky, called harpies or sirens by the Assembly, are human homonculi with teraton morphology. They aren't acrobatic flyers and live in areas with high cliffs so they can dive down to fly to their prey. They are only female and reproduce through clones. The three clans of harpies, black, red, and gold; are lead by the original progenitor through magic-based influences. Mar'Yalena, the protagonist of Songbird's Lament, is a harpy that broke free of her ancestor Maru's influence.

Tales of Kaimere / int_d7c65f26	type	Introduced Species Calamity
Tales of Kaimere / int_d7c65f26	comment	1.5 million years ago, a cooling period and a mass extinction in the Known World caused the Portal to bring in flora and fauna from Southeast Asia and later Sahul to replenish the lost of biomass. Not only did the influx of competition and disease caused more extinction to weakened species, but among the animals brought were Homo erectus. The ancient homonid was a clever and skilled hunter that would cause another extinction and harvest in the Arvelith Highland. Over a million years later, one branch of erectus evolved into the First Children, who not only enslaved and experimented on other sophont species and wiped out the megafauna and native people of the Qajar Peninsula, but found out about the Portal and captured it for their use.

Tales of Kaimere / int_d88e125e	type	Our Dragons Are Different
Tales of Kaimere / int_d88e125e	comment	Our Dragons Are Different: The main flyers of the Permian islands are creatures known as dragons, which are named due to their resemblance to the mythical beasts, being quasi-mammilian animals with bat-like wings, large skulls, longer tails and horns. They evolved thirty million years ago but evolved into large predators after the cynodont mega predators went extinct in the Dynastic Extinction. A few thousand years ago, witch lords domesticated them and made them larger and more volatile thanks to First Children magic. After the civilization collapsed, the now-feral dragons interbreed with wild relatives and are now the dominate predators over the Permian Islands. The dimorphodonts and rhamphorhinchids of the previous Mesozoic dynasties would resemble dragons thanks to their size, fangs and tails. One species of the latter was even larger than the azhdarchid pterosaurs. The Torosteonia, a class of endemic land tetrapods from the First Dynasty, produced their own dragons in that era. Some were predators that hunted its herbivorous relatives with projectile venom at their thin skin and reaching their secondary lungs. Others were flying filter-feeders that fed on the swarms of indigenous Kaimeran magic in the skies. Volant Torosteonia are still found in the far-east jungles of Kairul.

Their arrival to Parkadia pushed many dinosaurs to endangerment or extinction. Many dinosaurs on the island will kill them on sight. In general, dinosaurs has the instincts to see every mammal as potentially this, first with the non-therian mammals on Kaimere and then with the Dire badgers and the boars. They will preemptively attack any mammal to protect their eggs and nests.

Tales of Kaimere / int_dd963bd3	type	Our Giants Are Bigger
Tales of Kaimere / int_dd963bd3	comment	Our Giants Are Bigger: The naturally evolved giants are the Hinterland Giants, or Homo atlus, descendants of Homo erectus harvested over a million years ago. Adults are at least 7-feet tall. They have their own language but also live in mix-species villages with Kaimerans in Arvel. The ogres are far larger homonculi created by the First Children. They are the results of infusing Homo atlus with DNA mostly from Titanosaur and other large megafauna like sloths and drenduga. The forest ogres are mostly hukolgor sloth and live in the Arvelith forest, often in conflict with Qajar loggers and the sloths. The hill giants are mainly proboscidian-based, and can even listen to the mammoths infrasound network and use it themselves. The Prarie Giants are the most success, spreading across Nikar into the Hauze Prarie. The Kaimeran Trolls are more predatory compared to the omnivorous ogres. They are a reclusive species with a greater and lesser variant, and it is believed they can reproduce asexually to sustain a seemingly small population.

Tales of Kaimere / int_e003c829	comment	History Repeats: As on Earth, the Kaimeran Cobra (a species in a separate genus from true cobras on Earth) learned to spit venom in response to the arrival of Homo erectus. Following the dynastic extinction, there was a frequent cycle of big cats and cat relatives starting out as a widespread and diverse species in the Known World before being outcompeted by a new generalist arrival, with specialists forced to double-down on their niche or go extinct. First were the nimravids being pushed out by barbourofelids following the dynastic extinction, then the combination of tigers, dinofelis, and homotherium pushed out the barbourofelids, then cave leopards and common lions, and finally the common leopard in the most recent harvest from Africa. As revealed with the discovery of Maip macrothorax in real life, small-game hunting megaraptors evolved to take over for recently extinct apex theropods in both late Cretacrous Argentina and post-Tyrant Dynasty Kaimere.

Tales of Kaimere / int_fa906994	type	Perilous Prehistoric Seas
Tales of Kaimere / int_fa906994	comment	Perilous Prehistoric Seas: The seas of Kaimere are dominated by the descendants of prehistoric macropredators. Macroraptorial whales and Megalodon from Miocene Earth were initially the dominate predators after the Dynastic Extinction, but Mosasaurs, particularly the Motamozar from the Northern Hemisphere, came to dominate the Known World. In the Southern waters, plesiosaurs rule the colder waters in competition with the Cachalot and the Sea Wolves, and the deep seas are ruled by ancient amphibians from the early harvests. Even in the past the oceans weren't safe, such as a large marine therapsid from the Permian Dynasty with an appearance similar to Pliosaurs and Mosasaurs. It's actually mentioned that the main reason why Kaimerans don't typically voyage far past the coasts of their home continents is because the open oceans are very dangerous to traverse due to attacks from the likes of Motamozar and open ocean elasmosaurs. The oceans of the Northern Hemisphere are separated from the Southern Hemisphere (and thus the Known World) thanks to a heat belt around the equator, and while it's not impossible to pass through (the tropical Motamozar from the Northern Hemisphere and tropical cetaceans from the Southern Hemispheres being some examples), this means that unique lineages of plesiosaurs, mosasaurs, and marine synapsids can become the top predators. The top predators of the far north are the qomanqa, a long-necked plesiosaur that evolved to mimic its plisosaur relatives and acts as an ambush predator, and the troqlanot, a relative of the Motamozar that thrives in the cooler north. The marine horsetail forests are ruled by the jormungandr, a gigantic Madtsoiidae snake that hunts the equally large walrus-like odobenodontid dicynodonts. The temperate waters are also home to predatory sea dragons, therocephalians that are related to the dragons of the Permian Island.
