Primitive Land Animal
 The
land animals on Spirit began its evolution on the warm ocean shallow water
mud flats at the bottom, of the Pence ocean. This animal called Peland has
identified as the earliest known creature to crawl out of the ocean bed and
washed up foreshore at Pence harbor. It showed that Peland had primitive
breathing structures on the outside of its body to function on the land
environment. They
may have evolved limbs in order to move more effectively through shallow and
weed-choked waters, and the real move onto land may have begun after they had
acquired the ability to walk.

Land Animal Develop
 The
move to the land was a tremendous success that Peland began to develop organs
to adapt to the land environment life style. The organs help it eat and
digest the food found in the land and also help it moves in this environment.
Peland was an evolve transition between a fish and a land creature that lived
around 225 million years ago, and could grow to about five feet in length.

Coniferous Forests
In
the coniferous forest there is a diversity of wildlife. Its animals has adapted
to a life of long snowy winters and a short growing season, including the
Conifox, the brownie fur-foxie. An average
adult male weighs about 75lbs. - 120lbs. They have big teeth that the front
teeth are used to kill prey. They also have large stomach that can eat as
much as 20 pounds of food at one time, therefore they can go without food for
two weeks or longer. Conifox eat almost any animal they can catch, and they
hunt at any time of the day or night.
 Conifox live in family groups that have about 8 members, some
have more than 20. Some of them leave the family and travel alone until they
find their mates that usually happen during the winter season. The female
carries her young inside her body for about 63 days and gives birth to 1-11
con-pups weight 1 pound, in a den, a cave, a hollow log or underground.

Deciduous Forests
Decidog of Pence is a wild animal like dog in Earth. They
inhabit temperate
Deciduous forests in Pence and are very social dog that make variety
of noises, including howl, hoot and high-pitched screams.
 Decidog have long- body-sized dog with a
red-brown coat and a pink tipped tail. The adults are about 4 feet long plus
a 15inch long tail. They hunt, in small group of five or more adults, for
deer, wild goats, and mountain sheep. Like any other dogs in the Earth, they
find their prey using their keen sense of smell and then chase down the prey.
Decidog are very good swimmers, and often chase their prey into the water to
help catch it.

 Tropical
Forests
Different
mammals thrive at different vertical levels in a tropical forest. Especially adapted to life in the trees in
the tropical forests are the Tromonk, which can grasp and hold branches while
in rapid motion. With their special tail, the Tromonk have the additional
help to hold and swing from tree to tree.
They
rarely make noise and can move through the forest without being detected,
even when traveling in groups. The groups are a mix of fifteen to thirty
males, females, and their young.
Tromonk spend much of their time high in the forest trees searching
for fruit, insects, and small vertebrates to eat.

Relationship Diagram
The
following diagram shows how the animal life forms are related. The new
species Peland that develop from a parent species are shown going down. These
land animals could continue to evolve and diversify out into many different
species of descendents in order to adapt to new environments. Species
that develop from a common ancestor are shown side by side: Conifox, Decidog,
and Tromonk
