Roar of the Sabertooth by TyrannoNinja on DeviantArt

Spoiler

On a cold winter night 20,000 years ago in North America, the saber-toothed cat Smilodon fatalis declares its supremacy over its hunting ground with a roar to the starry heavens. Although saber-toothed cats like Smilodon were not true tigers, they probably were able to roar like modern big cats due to possessing a similar arrangement of hyoid bones attached to their larynx (voice box).

Xiphactinus by TyrannoNinja on DeviantArt

Spoiler

Xiphactinus audax was a carnivorous fish that swam the oceans during the Late Cretaceous Period, between 112 and 66 million years ago. It could grow up to nearly seventeen feet in length, so you wouldn’t want to bump into it if you were swimming in the Cretaceous seas (that is, if one of the myriad other big and fierce monsters lurking in there didn’t get you first).

The bioluminescent spots I have given this specimen are a speculative addition on my part.

CARNIVORES - Allosaurus by TyrannoNinja on DeviantArt

Spoiler

Between the late 1990s and the early 2000s, the Ukrainian game development studio Action Forms produced a trilogy of hunting simulation games known as the Carnivores series, in which the player could hunt prehistoric wildlife on an alien planet. The first two games in the trilogy focused on dinosaurs as the game animals whereas the third, Carnivores: Ice Age, switched to Cenozoic animals in a cold polar environment. Since the dinosaurs in the first two Carnivores games were reconstructed according to a combination of "retro" and 1990s aesthetics, I've taken it upon myself to redesign them to better mirror modern ideas of dinosaurs.

And now onto the meat-eaters! The cheapest and supposedly least dangerous in both the original and second game was the Allosaurus. Some evidence uncovered from digging around the game files indicates that this was initially intended to be a larger cousin of the Velociraptor, which may explain why it looks so little like the real Allosaurus, being a bit smaller and lacking the distinctive hornlets in front of the eyes. Nonetheless, as the most abundant carnivore in the games' setting, Allosaurus would prove to be a persistent thorn in the players' side, as it could ambush them even if they were hunting another dinosaur species entirely.

American Mastodon by TyrannoNinja on DeviantArt

Spoiler

Deep in the redwood forests of Pleistocene North America roams a bull specimen of Mammut americanum, or the American mastodon. Although often confused with its iconic contemporary the woolly mammoth, the mastodon was in fact a distant relative whose distinctive dentition were adapted to feeding on leaves (whereas mammoths would have preferred grasses). Therefore, mastodons would have preferred wooded habitats instead of the open plains or tundra favored by mammoths. However, both mastodons and mammoths shared a common fate of extinction at the end of the Pleistocene Epoch around 11,000 years ago.

Saurian Lords of the Outback by TyrannoNinja on DeviantArt

Spoiler

It is 50,000 years ago in the insular continent of Australia. The giant monitor lizard Varanus priscus (once known as "Megalania") is taking a stroll alongside the river when a hungry saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) leaps out of the water to attack it. During the Pleistocene epoch, both of these massive predatory reptiles would have ruled as the apex predators of their respective habitats. However, whereas the giant monitor would eventually go extinct, the saltwater crocodile still haunts the waters of northern Australia (as well as Southeast Asia and Melanesia) in the present day.

Concavenator Awakens by TyrannoNinja on DeviantArt

Spoiler

It is sunrise in the Early Cretaceous, approximately 130 million years ago. On the insular savanna that will someday become Spain, the carcharodontosaurid predator Concavenator is waking up within sight of a grazing herd of Mantellisaurus. Distinguished by the prominent dorsal “fin” above its hips, Concavenator was relatively small for a carcharodontosaurid dinosaur, with a body length of less than twenty feet.
