To cool off we leave the tropics and enter the Temperate Pluvial Forests to the south of Lemuria. Between ancient trees we come across a fantastic sight, as a mixed herd of noasaurids and large multituberculates come to the shore of a small stream to drink.

Crocodilians venture rarely into this realm of moss and fog and so large carnivore niches are all filled by mammals, in this case a large marsupial patrols it's territory, looking for prey maybe in the shape of a large rail?

For people not aware, Lemuria is a spec evo project of the #paleostream community. It follows the evolution of organisms living on the fictional continent of Lemuria (fusion of Madagascar and India) from the Cretaceous to the Pleistocene. We are in the Oligocene #LemuriaChallenge
