Conifers are now able to grow the size of Redwood trees, and the once dwindling lichen plant is now a three-meter high tree which bears fruit. Because of this, once lowly organisms, such as slime molds, can now evolve into new species. The plants and animals of the northern forest are used to the constant moisture of rain. Because of the plentiful supply of water, a large, temperate rainforest has formed. On the northwestern corner of Pangaea II, warm currents bring large moisture levels and results in endless amounts of rain. Specialized insects and worms are the only creatures to make a living here. Sandstorms are common as well as tornadoes. The only water that the desert has is at the underground rivers and the occasional oasis formed by the emergence of part of the cave system.
This is because of the large mountains that border the coastline and block the oceanic moisture from reaching the desert. The central desert lies in the very center of the continent, where there is no rainfall. Crustaceans and some molluscs also stay in the oceans, whilst insects and worms populate the central deserts. The last backboned animals, fish, now fly as the birds or remain in the seas as the last sharks. Many of the lowly organisms have adapted and have claimed the open niches - molluscs have taken the place of mammals, for instance. A massive desert has formed in the center of the continent and forests border the coastlines. All the continents have met up and created a second Pangaea and a large global ocean. The Earth is recovering from the mass extinction that occurred 100 million years ago, causing the death of most evolutionary groups, leaving only molluscs, insects, slime molds, plants, and the remaining fish and crustaceans to fill the evacuated environmental niches.
Spindletrooper, a sea spider that defends ocean phantoms from predators 200 million years Australia has moved north and collided with New Guinea and parts of Indonesia, pushing them northwestwards and causing them to fuse into Southeast Asia. The East African Rift has split off from the mainland to form its own landmass just as Madagascar did eighty five millions of years prior to it. The Mediterranean has dried up as Africa moves slowly north towards Europe, which is mostly covered in ice and tundra. The tropical rainforests of this future earth have mostly been replaced by tracts of savanna and grassland, devastating such diverse ecosystems as the Amazon basin. The animals who live on the borders of the ice have to adapt to the harsh temperatures and unforgiving winters. Most of the world's freshwater is locked up in the ice caps and glaciers. The first four ecosystems are set 5 million years hence, the second set of four are set 100 million years hence, and the last four are set 200 million years in the future.Ībout 5 million years hence, the world is in the grip of an ice age. The Future is Wild was divided into three points in time and twelve different ecosystems. This documentary was based on research and interviews with dozens of scientists, though some conclusions these scientists made are controversial, with other scientists criticizing many conclusions made in the series.
Many other animals and plants also disappear, especially well-known mammals, such as cats, dogs, whales, elephants, rhinos, dolphins, bears, seals, hippos and apes. Our descendants would then send probes back to Earth to observe how life has changed. The Discovery Channel made the scenario less harsh by stating that the human race had left the planet instead of disappearing completely. The basic concept of this show is similar to the concept of After Man humans have become extinct and other animal species reconquer the world on nature's behalf.
#THE WILD CASE SERIES#
This series was accompanied by a book written by geologist and author Dougal Dixon and television producer John Adams. The Future is Wild was a 2003 "documentary", which used computer-generated imagery to show what life might look like in the future after millions of years of evolution.
