Description

I think this page is about large carnivores. I think this is the last page of the Celulation habitats mini-series. However I think it shouldn't, as some wait... I'm not sure it is... I think there is still one more. Ok, I hope there isn't any ecological niche from any planet left out of this.

979) Scabrotapleurus: Like a giant legged liopleurodon. Like most creatures from eden planets, they are brighlty colored, since its really hard to find someone of your own species among so many other species. 30 m.

980) Clothespin barnacle: When you life is nothing but floating in orbit through endless burning space all while starving through centuries as is the life of the creatures living in star orbits, you don't feel like finding a prey just to fail catching it. Thats why most of this creature's body is just a giant pair of pliers made to catch a prey and never let it go. 17 m.

981) Ashsting: Nothing special. All the animals from boiling planet look alike for me, I hope that isn't a form of racism. This thing just glides/flyies/floats or whatever you wan't to call what this guys do, stabbing other animals with that sting in its mouth and then pulling them inwards with those other things curled over and below ... that thing. 3 m.

982) Cryolopholicus: Like a combination between a crtyolophosaurus and a wolf from a taiga planet. Unlike the other... smaller carnivore from this taiga planet from the other page I'm not going to like here.. the ramwulf, this large carnivore does hibernate durning the long winters from this planet. 5 m.

983) Leomeleon: Some sort of leopard with chameleon characteristics for the rainforest planet. This predators can spend their whole lifes on the trees and they are ready for that. They have Zygodactyly and prehensile tail, as well as a superb sense of balance that allowds it to make indredible leaps to catch its prey. 3 m.

984) Struthiospinos: I combined many desert creatures for this one, including spinosaurus of course, ostrich, gila monster and i'm not sure but I think there is something taken from a camel there too. This thing might be venomous why not, and... lives in the deser... 5 m.

985) Orcinoacthos: A land killer whale. It combines the hunting style of the largest tundra hunters; the polar bear and the orca. This massive creature is also a social hunter even when most of them times they only hunt in couples. One of them chases the prey underwater, guiding it towards the other one waiting over the ice. I the critical point of the hunt, the other orcinoacthos breaks the ice and appears just in front and over the prey with the first one below and behind. The succes rate with this tactic is usually really high, but is only used to hunt large prey and more than two orcinoacthos can take part on it from either side of the ice. Smaller prey in hunted with regular orca or polar bear styles. 7 m.

986) Ciconotherium: Whenever in a hurry for a creature's name use "therium" at the end, it means "beast", such a wide term.
This creature would be some kind of mammalian stork froma swamp planet, as such the planet in which it lives is full of pretty large creatures living in shallow water. 3.5 m.

987) Pantherataurus: The taurus part if becuase of its bulk, strenght and build, but it doesn't get any horns or anything. I guess I could have used binomial nomenclature, but I think I never used it before in this mini-collection and using the name Panthera taurus would have implied its the same genus of lion than the real one, and that doesn't make much sence in this context. Its like a lion, a spoonful of a hyena and some rhinoceros skin hee and there to make it look heavier. And there is the last one on the page, was the Pantherataurus for the savannha planet, 4.5 m, see you tomorrow.
