The Jotocene World
245 MYH a new world of storms and hot jungles life from the Ice Age diversifies in many new and bizarre ways
245 MYH a new world of storms and hot jungles life from the Ice Age diversifies in many new and bizarre ways
Endless Jungle: A massive stretch of tropical forest and rivers not seen to this extent since the carboniferous. Sapindales, Ericales, Malpighiales, Malvales, and Conifers dominate the canopy and countless plants thrive in the understory
Concrete Jungle: While similar to the rest of the jungles, its location along the West Coast results in hefty rainfall from hypercanes blowing off the sea. This well-watered ecosystem supports the tallest trees on earth with many species adapted to its canopy.
World's End Islands- A series of islands once the West Peninsula's highest points, this area ¾ the size of Indonesia is home to a unique assemblage of life.
Anya's Island - The biggest island in the archipelago about the size of Baffin Island. A land of hills and shaded rift valleys home to many large animals found nowhere else in the archipelago.
Swampvannah- A land of flood and drought similar to the Okavango . For half of the year, this is a dry savannah similar to lands farther south but for the other half storm surges from Hypercanes create vast flooded grasslands that attract wildlife from miles away.
Plantanal-Fed by the most powerful hypercanes off the Concrete Jungles, this stretch of Swampvannah never goes dry creating a vast marshland of deep freshwater lakes surrounded by islands of vegetation
Savannah Velds - A vast grassland area too far inland to receive reliable rain. The short violent wet season is interrupted by 9 months of drought and temperatures that soar into the 30s
Bloom Desert - A harsh expanse of desert with temperatures reaching the mid 40’s, most of its resources are hidden underground or in stands of bizarre lichen trees. However, storm surges that reach over the coastal mountains occasionally transform the land into a super bloom of flora that all animals take advantage of.
Coastal Mountains- As the mountains age it has now begun the slow process of erosion, allowing for strong storm surges to breach it's peaks.
Shangri-La- A deep valley created by erosion where the coastal mountains get their thickest fog coming off the southern coast, forming a cloud forest that clings vertically to the valley walls.
Coastal Reefs - A vast ring of tropical reefs that form a ring around the shelf of the continent these reefs support a huge amount of biodiversity.
Cryptoland Atolls- What’s left of the Cryptoland Islands flooded by rising sea levels is now a series of small atolls no more than 50 feet above sea level, this land is a unique assemblage of both marine life and surviving terrestrial fauna marooned thousands of miles out to sea.
Endless Ocean- With Rising sea levels and a single continent most of the world's oceans are deep water with sparse inhabitants. Powerful currents circle around the world and a lack of land to break up storms results in powerful hypercanes that frequently batter the land.
