"After the last great mass extinction, just a few life forms had survived, and free from old pressures and competition, they have evolved into strange and bizarre creatures – beyond imagination. The slow drift of the continents over the globe has finally brought the landmasses together into one super-continent, and most of the world is covered in a huge ocean."

200 million AD, also called the Age of Invertebrates, the New World, and the Late Futurassic, is one of the hypothetical time periods focused on in The Future Is Wild.
By 200 million AD, the continents have fused to create a single landmass called Pangaea II, and a single ocean, the Global Ocean. The rotation of the Earth has slowed, adding an hour to the day; the sun is brighter; and global temperatures have risen. The single continent and ocean combined with the rising temperatures creates extreme weather patterns; the ocean is battered by massive hypercanes, and most of the continent is desert.
Life has finally recovered after the 100 million AD mass extinction, but most vertebrate animals are extinct. The land is dominated by molluscs and insects, the water by crustaceans, and the skies by flying fishes.

HABITAT OPTION 1
HABITAT OPTION 1
HABITAT DESCRIPTION
One continent means one ocean, the Global Ocean, a body of water so vast that its center lies 10,000 miles from the nearest coast.
HABITAT OPTION 2
HABITAT OPTION 2
HABITAT DESCRIPTION
The Rainshadow Desert lies in the shadow of the storm clouds that gather over the coastal mountain peaks. Heavy storms batter the shoreline, but moisture is prevented from reaching the inland desert by rocky barriers.
HABITAT OPTION 3
HABITAT OPTION 3
HABITAT DESCRIPTION
The continuous torrential rain has made great rivers, lakes and swamps. The tallest trees are conifers, growing to the same height as the redwoods that have dominated the region since the Triassic. Flowering plants are rare in the forest; only lichens, algae and fungi – grow everywhere.
