Our planet Earth was born 4 billion 500 million years ago. And since then it has been constantly changing. Rivers cut valleys in the mountains, change their courses, rains smooth out mountain slopes, earthquakes split the surface, volcanoes erupt lava. All this suggests that the Earth is a changeable planet. And so I decided to look 5 million years into the future and conduct research on the topic: “The Wild World of the Future.”

Snow animals also live here. These are formidable predators. They have a thick, shaggy white skin that retains body heat. They have long sharp fangs. They help kill an animal larger than themselves.

I believe that my animal, which I invented myself, will take root here. This is a needlefly. A small, predatory animal. Needle-like white thick fur saves it from the cold and enemies. He runs quickly, curls up into a ball, escaping from enemies. It feeds on gannet eggs and small animals. It multiplies very quickly.

The Mediterranean lowland was formed on the site of the dried-up Mediterranean Sea, covered with a crust of white salt. There are many salt lakes in the lowlands. The Cryptilius lizard lives here. It feeds on small black flies that hover along the edges of lakes. She catches flies using a skin collar that acts as a sticky trap. The lizard runs through a cloud of flies, they stick to the collar, then she licks them off with a long tongue.

Dry gray rocky plains called “karot” stretch along the shores of salt lakes. I will introduce you to the inhabitants of these places. These are scrophs (ancestors of the wild boar of the human era). They have thin, mobile legs and graceful hooves. They sniff with their long nose and jump across the plain.

The Griffenden bird, which I created in my imagination, also feels good here, in my opinion. This is a large bird of prey with a sharp beak and sharp claws. She has excellent eyesight. Hovering over the plain, it looks out for its prey and falls on it in a lump, grabbing it with its sharp claws. Preys on carros and baby carrons. It nests on gray rocky plains and hatches at the beginning of the short summer.

And deep in the karr cracks lurked another karron beast. This is an elegant predator. It has a long flexible body, black and white stripes on its head, and shiny beady eyes. My carros animal will also take root here. It is small in size, lives in a hole, which it digs with sharp claws and fangs. It feeds on larvae, insects, and plants. They live in groups, give birth to numerous offspring, and are themselves food for many animals and birds.

The next region is the Amazonian steppe. Now the climate here has become colder and drier. The trees have disappeared. The Amazon has turned into a web of small rivers and streams. A dry grassy plain has appeared, across which devastating fires are constantly rolling. I believe that the babukari monkey has adapted well to these conditions. They roam the savannah, feeding on fish, insects and plants. Signals are given to each other by their tails.

And here an animal I invented, a steppe animal, peeks out from the grass. This is a predator, a steppe hunter, reddish in color. A dexterous, strong beast with huge fangs, a thunderstorm of the steppe. They live in pairs and hunt alone.

In the steppe you can also find spinogrom. This is a rodent. Its back is covered with hard plates that rattle with every step.(Resembles the porcupine and rhinoceros of the human era).

The carakiller has also taken root in the steppe. This is a large and predatory bird. It eats meat, runs fast, but does not fly (similar to an ostrich of the human era).

North American desert. In human times, North America was a land of large cities, shady forests and lush fields. But the Ice Age climate turned much of the continent into a cold, rocky desert. There are violent tornadoes and sandstorms here. I believe that it is very difficult for animals to live here, since they have to go without food and water for a long time.

Deadlies have taken root here. These are giant black carnivorous bats. They have keen eyesight, an excellent sense of smell, and can smell prey everywhere. They live in caves; when there is no food, they fall asleep.

The humpbacked nose also feels quite good in the desert. This is an animal I invented. A large animal, up to two meters in height. They live in herds and feed on sparse desert plants. The hump on its back allows it to store water, and the horns help dig up plants. Strong muscular legs allow them to travel a long way across the desert.

The desert snake, which I invented myself, also lives in this area. It is covered with thick horny scales that protect it from enemies. The hermit reaches up to two meters in length and is very poisonous. Feeds on small animals.

So, my journey into the future has ended. From everything I studied, I understood one thing: no matter how our planet Earth changes, the climate on it, life on Earth cannot be stopped. As time passes, the wild world is reborn, adapts and develops. It is impossible to say for sure that this is exactly what will happen on Earth in five million years, as I assumed and fantasized. But in any fantasies based on scientific facts and life experience, there is some truth. And I want to know this truth. The research doesn't end there. You can look into the future ten, one hundred, two hundred..... million years ahead. But this is a topic for another study.
