I've mostly been focusing my attention on the bats, namely the Pteropods, the true rats and mice the Pseudomyids, antelope of the family Megalodorcidae, and the therapedidae. Though I've scattered different and new species all over, not just in those families. I was trying to remember all the different animals over the past year that I have discussed with other future evolution fans. I've even added a couple of new families. Besides the obvious naming some of my animals after my Facebook and MySpace friends, I have also added:
- a mongoose-like opossum
- antbird-like pteropods both for the old and new world
- a large pteropod called a "fruit-cow" (not cow-like!)
And more! These animals will show up in the new version of the Metazoic check-list, which I won't add to the site just yet. I'm on a role!! I won't be posting up the new checklist for quite a while.

Antbird-like pteropods, huh? Cool, but I still think you should leave SOME niches open for the non-flightless birds. Just a thought.
I know. I really want to have a world dominated by mammals though.
On your checklist, none of your families go beyond 100 million years from now. What happens then?
That's when the Metazoic ends.
Another question: On your checklist, the only species you have in New Zealand are those little kangaroos. Wouldn't there also be descendants of sheep, cattle, canines, felines, and other introduced mammals too? Or is New Zealand still mostly a land of birds in the Metazoic?
Sheep and cattle I might have to get back to you on. But I might make a predatory descendant that feeds on the kangaroos. Possibly from the weasels. That is a good idea. In that case it might be a good idea to have a small descendant of maybe sheep roaming the island.
