On the edge of a Miocene South American grassland, a group of Thoatherium is ambushed by a Phorusrhacos. They scatter, but the terror bird catches one of the litopterns, lifts it high up into the air, and SLAMS it down on the ground to kill it. Other nearby animals have mixed feelings about this situation. Tupinambis flees for its life, while Dryornis flies a little closer in case it can have a bit for itself. Hapalops and Astrapotherium are unbothered and have business of their own to take care of.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Turkey vultures are the sharks of the sky; the have the largest olfactory system of any bird, and can smell a potential meal from over a mile away!

Here's a new iterator! They love music and flying animals like birds! They're based off an ipod and speakers I had when I was little. The puppet is based on the speakers and the main color (overseers, text color, etc.) is taken from the color of the ipod.
