Oligocene Pakistan
28 million years ago (Chattian)
Bugti Hills

For about 7 million years, the Earth had undergone catastrophic climate changes that drove many genera to extinction. Since then, it has bounced back, but it was no longer the same. For example, the tropical forests present during the Eocene were all pushed back to the equator; due to this, the wide, grassy plains present in the later days of the epoch had spread even further. As well as this, the fauna had changed as well, as the land was now filled with unique animals such as bathornids, entelodontids, camels, hyaenodontids, early carnivorans, and hyracodontids. One great example of the very latter is one of the biggest mammals to walk the earth, Paraceratherium.

In the original WWB, Paraceratherium and its contemporaries were shown in Mongolia; however, due to not wanting to repeat settings, I changed the setting to Pakistan (coincidence? I think not). Anyways, this episode focuses on a juvenile Paraceratherium, who, after being brought into the world by his mother, must learn to adapt to a harsh world, even while he's still under his mother's care; during this, he would have sudden encounters with predatory hyaenodontids, protective bear-dogs, aggressive entelodontids, and even other adult Paraceratherium (who just happen to be horny). Again, there will be a few changes to this; for example, Hyaenodon won't be really convergent upon hyenas, and the entelodontids will be more mammalian and less crocodilian.

Paraceratherium bugtiense: This 4.8 meter tall hyracodontid is one of the biggest land mammals of all time, only beaten by two proboscideans. It is an herbivore, feeding on soft leaves and shrubs. A juvenile individual will be the main character of this episode, learning to adapt to the harsh deserts of Oligocene Asia, as well as its many (dangerous) inhabitants. Pose based on this skeletal: s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/7…

Hyaenodon gigas: This 1.1 meter tall hyaenodontid is the apex predator of its environment, armed with blade-like teeth that sharpened themselves. It is a predator, feeding on anything that's not too big for it. It will be the primary antagonist of this episode, stalking anything that's not too big for it before going in for the kill; however, rather than crushing the bones of its prey, it will shear bits of flesh off their bodies. Pose based on this skeletal: www.copyrightexpired.com/early…

Chalicotherium pilgrimi: This 2 meter tall chalicothere is a really unique animal, as it walks on its knuckles similarly to apes, yet is actually related to horses. It is an herbivore, feeding on leaves. In this episode, it will just serve two roles; an ambient animal, and a prey item of all the large predators in the ecosystem. Pose based on this skeletal: s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/2…

Cynodictis elegans: This 30 centimeter tall bear-dog is the polar opposite of Paraceratherium; while the latter is a giant herbivore, the former is a small carnivore. It is a predator, preying on rodents and lizards. In this episode, a female individual will wander around the desert with her few pups, overshadowed by all other animals in this environment. Pose based on this reconstruction: breedingbusiness.com/wp-conten…

Paraentelodon intermedium: This 2 meter tall entelodontid is one of the largest cetruminants, on par with Daeodon and beaten by Andrewsarchus. It is an omnivore, feeding on roots and leaves, as well as preying on smaller mammals and scavenging carrion. It will be the secondary antagonist of this episode, scaring off even the mighty Hyaenodon in order to have access to a carcass. Pose based on 's Daeodon skeletal.
