There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Eorodentoeurythus


"Fifteen million years from now in the Allocene period, rodents become the new master carnivores of planet earth. This is when the rise of Eurodentoeurythus, or "New Robust Rodent" is imminent. At slightly more than 4-meters and averaging 550 to 700-kilograms, this giant nightmarish rodent dominates the lands in which it occupies; no bears, tigers, or wolves from our current era....hungry, giant rodents. Spanning both American continents, most of Asia, and Australia, this humongous rodent has great speed for its size as well as a powerfully-equipped jaw for snapping necks and spines: its robusticity compares to that of a giant grizzly, if not even more. As with other rodents, two of its incisors stick out in the front and its eyes are big for its head. Notably, the strangely-colored horn on top of the giant rodent's snout explains two things; maturity and sex. The horn's structure will be detailed later on."

"For eight more million years, or 23-million years after the death of humanity and the Holocene, this powerhouse ruled much of Earth, only dying out when smaller, more efficient rodent-like competitors and "land cetaceans" took its place. An absolute marvel of the early stages of the Allocene..."

"Below is a prime male adult specimen."

   

"Below is a specimen in infancy. Notice the much shorter and redder horn and larger eyes due to its size."

Eorodentoeurythus Horn Growth

DEFINITIONS
Medium of growth: 
a defined line on the rodent's horn, usually within the middle, which indicates where the hornbone fibers are the densest. Secondary sexual characteristic. Grows thicker with age.

Tubercle split: an area in which densely-packed collagen fibers intersect the horn's bottom, making the bottom of the horn appear to be split into two halves. Advances with age.

Prominence shaft: the area in which the front-exterior of the horn protrudes past the front of the horn's bottom. Characteristic of advanced-aged Eorodentoeurythii and those that live in extreme snowy or rugged conditions.

Mating shovel: in males, a "shovel"-like structure used for sexual display and to attract mates. Grows larger in size with maturity.


STAGES
Infancy (birth - 1 year): horn is almost equilateral-triangle shaped, reddish color mostly except for white tip at the top. No visible split or shaft, but a slight medium of growth is visible.

Pre-adolescence (1 - 6 years): horn grows more vertically. Orange-ish color extends down to the midst of the horn while the reddish color composes the bottom half of the horn. Medium becomes more defined, and so does the tubercle.

Adolescence (7 - 11 years): puberty occurs. In both sexes, the tubercle is more visible and the medium of growth even more defined. The red color starts to decrease towards the bottom while the orange starts to dominate the horn; a yellow tip at the top emerges. In males, the horn starts to develop a "mating shovel" while it curves much more slanted backwards. In females, the horn is much like the pre-adolescent horn with the adolescent growth pattern.

Post-adolescent/Sub-adult (12 - 16 years): puberty is finished, and yellow starts to dominate the top 25% of the rodent's horn. Prominence shaft is now much more visible. ♂️: horn curves much more backwards. ♀️: horn simply grows more vertically.

Adult (17 - 38 years): this is the age range when the yellow, orange, and red colors are perfectly distributed within the horn, with each color consisting up to one-third of the horn at a time. The tubercle shaft is perfectly aligned with the bottom of the horn and the prominence shaft is very visible. ♂️: horn's "mating shovel" becomes wider and more robustly-refined in shape.

Elder (39 - 44 years): the horn becomes yellow in color and slowly starts to decompose, splitting along where the tubercle split intersects the horn. If not split yet, the horn immediately curves backwards and medium of growth is extremely and overly defined and visible from a great distance, indicating breakage instead of density now. ♂️: the mating shovel starts to incline at an angle of 15 degrees from the rest of the horn and slowly start to grow again but with weaker bone formation. Split of the horn results in abandonment by social hierarchy and soon, a slow death from inability to function normally.

Love dinosaurs, and is that an Ornithomimid? Hard to tell...but looks slender enough to be one.

Seriously @Polar I didn't think what animal I was drawing. Yes, you're right, it could be one, an ornithomimid. When it was finished it was the Gallimimus which came in mind. The "Jurassique Park" syndrome...

I love the male lions' faces.
They wear the whole story of these beasts. Impossible to find in wild a lion's face without scars, slashs, grazes, this is Verdun or Stalingrad battle on their faces...
They are able to bloodily fight for a robbery, for a hunk of rat around a rotten corpse. And, of course, for much more serious reasons: A female  and even much more important when the territory is threatened by a stranger male(s). Both childish and faithful in friendship...
After all, they seem to be very human, but without the so-called superior specy's insanity. They are just lion, wild and beautiful, the marvelous face of the African continent which disappears.
