One lineage of aquatic Proximozoic crocodilians is the Ophisuchia, which have particularly long, streamlined bodies and are fast swimmers. The sea orm is by far the largest, with the longest specimens exceeding 15 meters. The front of the sea orm’s snout is toothless and covered by hardened keratin. It has a varied diet, which depending on the individual can include cephalopods, fish, cnidarians, crustaceans, and large benthic worms. Sea orms can be found globally, except for in the narrowing Atlantic Ocean.

Killer shrews are not the fastest of runners, and this one is unlikely to catch up with its prey. But it may not need to; if it can manage one more bite, its venom could bring this Dromaianser down.

Females are more prevalent in the population than males, and as such they face a degree of sexual selection. When ready to reproduce, females develop a prominent reddish stripe and produce loud calls which sound like a giant motor. These calls can carry for miles over the ocean, and serve to indicate their presence to both competitors and potential mates. Each individual has a distinct pattern to their call.

The cookiecutter squid is a small pelagic squid species common in the Pacific Ocean 175 million years in the future. It its noteworthy for its habit of attaching itself to larger animals such as mermice, sea orms, or Cetornis. When a potential host animal is sighted, it will rapidly shoot its tentacles towards it. These tentacles are deceptively strong, tipped with chitinous hooks, and function similarly to a grappling hook. If the squid manages to anchor itself onto the host, it will retract the tentacles and grip to the host’s surface with its other arms, the inner surfaces of which are also lined with hooks. Once attached, it will use its powerful beak to excise chunks of flesh. An individual may remove many pieces of flesh from the same host, leaving extensive wounds.

Seabats like Halenycteris are the most aerial animals the planet has yet seen. They live their entire lives on the wing, and some individuals have never seen land in their lives. The young are born and raised in flight, being carried in a pouch until they are old enough to fly on their own. These bats have lost extensive tissues around the ears and nose in the name of streamlining, and have lightweight bones and a unique breathing system involving air sacs in the wings. Halenycteris grows up to five meters in wingspan, and soars the vast Pacific ocean dip-feeding for fish.

The mountain dragon is the apex predator of the Mediterranean Mountains, with large individuals growing 7 meters in wingspan. Individual mountain dragons have large feeding ranges, often raising young higher in the mountains. Mountain dragons hunt on the wing and prey on pretty much any animal that they feel like eating. They bear semi-retractable foot talons which are often used to dispatch prey, but they seemingly prefer to startle prey into losing its footing and falling to its death.
