@ZTheDumbTyrant Leviathans replace cetaceans as the worlds largest ram-feeding organisms.
@TheGojiFan1985 Cetosuchidea, a cetacean like grouping of marine crocodiles found all over the world.
@clarkjosephf The kinkajou of South America has diversified into hundreds of new species, filling primate like ecological roles as the monkeys died off in the Anthropocene.
@NotSoNanosaurus Leviathans! Ramfeeding turtles, and one of my favs.
@wildlifeco1 There is a lot going for hyenas 20 million is the future.

@JackKnu85156931 Aypa, terrestrial otters capable of taking down animals many times their size with a crushing bite. (Savannah though only)
@FuckingHedo Aardvarks of East Africa have adapted to tackle arboreal termite mounds, developing kangaroo like back legs for jumping through the trees, and prehensile tails.
Aypa, these large South American otters primarily live on land. They can dispatch prey many times their size, and decorate their burrows with the skeletons of predator species.
