Description
A while ago, I was experimenting with my own take on the classic speculative zoology scenario of the absence of a KT extinction event. The idea has never really left, and has continued to evolve. These are some basic ideas for the animals of Seiek as I continue to refine it. These were done sometime last year, so not all the ideas are 100% "canon" for the project anymore, but I figured I'd see what others think. Clockwise from top left:

One: A giant varanid. Top predator of Madagascar.

Two: A dwarfed sauropod part of a group descended from Rapetosaurus, endemic to Madagascar. Most are still herbivores, but a few have taken to omnivory and even semi-predatory habits. This species is a fisher of rivers and coasts.

Three: A pig-like notosuchian still similar in most respects to its' ancestor, Simosuchus. Its' armored blue neck is used for interspecies communication and for surprising predators.

Four: A typical member of a group of tenrecs that fill the niches of lemurs.

Five: A flightless avian predator that hunts smaller game of Madagascar.
