90 million years After-Present

Compared to the rich and diverse megaherbivore guild of 10 million years ago, the current guild is significantly depleted but has maintained a similar structure. Several megafaunal species of the past have left at least one descendant. Some have become smaller to cope with the limited environment, while others have grown larger to fill vacant niches and due to the lack of large predators. Most of these species are located in the Follia Plateau, the only truly functional ecosystem that does not act merely as a refugium. Herbivore density reaches its peak on the western coast of the Follia Plateau, where four species of "mega" herbivores reside.
