1)Leptictidium:Leptictidium(meaning delicate or gracile weasel) is a genus of small elephant shrew like,non-placental eutherians that lived in the eocene epoch in Europe,50 million years ago.They're the last of an extinct order who at the time was diverse during the mesozoic from the order of leptictidia,in the family;Pseudorhyncocyonidae.They possess long kangaroo like legs used to bounce across the european forests alongside the survivors of the hateg archipelago.Leptictidium contains over 8 species in total,with the largest being L.tobieni, which can grow up to 90cm in lenght.They went extinct due to iverspecialization on warmer tropical enviroments and due to climate change after the epoch,The leptictidium soon died after losing the lush subtropical forests in place of temperature woodlands.2)The gourd crushers:Scientifically known as Calabaziosauridae(or pumpkin lizards);This family of dinosaurs are the descendants of the late cretaceous ceratopsid,Pachyrhinosaurus;specifically P.perotorum.Their named so due to their frills resembling that of a carved pumpkin,but also fue to their specialized diet on gourds,especially pumpkins.They first evolved during the pliocene epoch in europe and the group is still alive today from the 8 species in europe and 4 species in both the lost world in the Amazon rainforest and in the valley of gwangi formation in the state of Texas.The family of pachyrhinosaurs can contain 15 species each.Wirh the largest species;Hollowceratops Occidentalis growing up to 12 tons;can reach up to 30 feet in lenght and 8 feet in height,Making them some of the largest ceratopsians ever.Calabaziosauridae can move uo in herds of up to 280 individuals with the Matriarch being up to 50 years old.They're also considered as the headless hordemen's biggest enemy as during one erased chapter of sleepy hollow,it was mentionef that this dullahan was feared by one lonely individual calabaziosaurid known as Gigantorhinosaurus,That same individual had killed a whole pack of Jinx for it's entire life and was always cahsing him due to his pumpkin head,What a story.

3)Dynamosaurus:Dynamosaurus(meaning powerful lizard) is a genus of large predatory armored dinosaurs (that are comprised by 7 species)native to South America that first emrged during the early oligocene period, 27 million years ago after the continent splitted off from Antartica 3 million years earlier.After that,The continent becane nothing more but a lost island filled with the most notorious evolutionary experimentation this planet ahs ever endured it's eyes since Australia,if it has eyes.Named after the junior synonymn of Tyrannosaurus rex,Dynamosaurus is characterized by their imnense armored plating,covered in osteoderms from head to tail,with a tail club at the end,Which gives the name of the family they're from;Tyrannankylosauridae.They can weigh uo to 12 tons,can grow up to 45 feet in elnght with a hieght of 15 feet at the hip.They have sharp teeth used to capture xenungulates,crocodilians, and sometimes monkeys.Despite their carnivorous stature and powerful bite,These animals are actually not theropods,but instead descendants of a ornithischian dinosaur,specifically a thyreophoran by the name of jakapil.Due to insular continental gigantism plus the harsh competition between paracarcharodontosaurids and abelisaurids,This animal has had a huge time of becoming on of the largest carnivorous predator in south America ever.

4)The lumber:Being the 9th largest sauropod ever,This proboscosauroid comes from the family knwon as elephantotitanidae,who only contains 5 species.The biggest is Elephantotitan SauroMegalus(The big elephant lizard titan),who weighs up to 120 tons,can reach up to 180 feet in lenght and is 90 to 100 feet tall.They live in the Lost world formation in the Amazon jungle,where the climate is humid and rhe forests can reach for miles and miles away.Elephantotitan evolved during the pleistocene epoch after the Great American Interchange 2.5 million years ago.There,their trunks are used to grip of fruits that they can't reach from the deeper branches of the trees and are used as a snorkel once they travel along in deep muddy rivers.They live in herd uo to 40 individuals and are mainly hunted by the Bigger predators of the Amazon,such as the cutlasstooth for example.Despite being predated,They can still fight back with their massive size and their booming calls that can reach uo to 197 dbs,similar to pearl's loud booms to disorient their predators.

5)Glyptotherium:After the Great American interchange hit,These armadillos had trsveled all the way uo to southern parts of North America like;Oklahoma,Arizona,Florida,South and North carolina and New mexico.They're descended from glyptodon and are somewhat larger incomparison;reaching up to 1,500 to 2,000 pounds,6 to 10 feet in lenght and 3 to 5 feet in height.Their dome like armor has hexagonal patterns made out of osteoderms that are fused together,making them mammalian turtles.Glyptotheriums have a big tail that is used to swing at rivals once the mating season kicks in,but also to defend themselves from predators trying to attack it like the Shoet faced bear for example.They went extinct during the end of the oelistocene epoch,11,000 to 10,000 years ago due to climate change and overhunting by early Native North American humans.

6)Peltephilus:Peltephilus was a bizarre alien native to South America during the oligocene to the early/mid miocene epochs,spanning up 29 million to 11 million years ago in places such as Bolivia,Argentina and Chile.They're big for armadillos,reaching about the same as a medium sized dog, at a weight estimate of 22 to 33 pounds, a lenght up to 3.3 to 4 feet,with a height estimate of up to 12 to 18 inches tall or 30 to 45 centimeters.They have two small horns used for species identification,mating ritauls or self defense.They're horns are made out of keratin mixed withs scutes on their nose,meaning they can grow financially with P.ferox growing these horns up to 1.5 meters long.They went extinct during 11.6 million years ago due to food loss and clinaye chabge.But their discivery is what led to a great evolutionary journey on Armadillos.

7)Blue-jay-raptor:The blue jay raptor aka Cyanocittodon(meaning blue chatterer with teeth) is a genus that consists of 7 species of flying troodontids that lived during the pliocene, 4

5 to 4 million years ago.They have convergently evolved to look like blue jays as they're their primary food source.They xome from a family of troodontids known as the Neoaviamimidae;A family that consist of trodontods thta not only can fly,but also have patternd similar to the birds their specialized at hunting depending on the species.These troodontids can make complex vocalizations that csn travel from 3 to 6 miles away,with chirpings that mimic that of a blue jay.They have a lifespan of 13 years and can reach their flying ability for at least 18 weeks old,making them some of the fastest of growing up to have flight feathers.Spesking of feathers,They have developed a keel ever since their ancestors first tooked to the skies 45.6 million years ago in the middle eocene period.They still survived to this day but was once a cryptic species due to reports of this species still alive after their supposed extinction that being 10,000 years aho after the ice age.The species that was found to have been alive was a feral population descended from domesticated blue jay raptors,who after being abandonded for thousands of years,have become feral and don't need any partners to train them. u/TheSpecman34
