PRECAMBRIAN!

  • It was 4.6 billion years ago, before man, before dinosaurs, before life.
  • The earth had no water it was toxic. than a giant icy planet smashed into earth and the oceans slowly formed.
  • The only life was tiny cells in the icey planet, but where did they come from? No one knows.

CAMBRIAN!

  • It is 488 million years ago.
  • Hundreds of animals suddenly evolve from nowhere.
  • Among the most common are arthropods.
  • The land is toxic but the ocean is filled with life.
  • Life that couldn't look any more strange, but among them is our own ancestors, fish.

ORDOVICIAN!

  • 444 million years ago fish where still small but invertebrates where large and in charge.
  • Giant sea scorpions and 5 meter long squid ruled the sea but the air is still toxic for there are no plants.
  • One day an ice age consumes the ocean so the scorpions and squid have left and the fish take their spot.
  • Soon fish and their decedents will conquer the earth.

SILURIAN!

  • 416 million years ago fish conquered the sea and evolved jaws.
  • Soon coral evolves and fills the shallow waters with colors.
  • Scorpions and squid still roam the earth but there smaller and less of a threat.
  • Meanwhile a new group of life conquers land, plants.
  • Taking out carbendioxyy and replacing it with oxygen.

DEVONIAN!

  • 358 million years ago fish turned the seas into a blood bath.
  • It is filled with armored fish and the very first sharks live in a dangerous world.
  • Also taking control of land is a new group of animals, amphibians.
  • The atmosphere is no longer toxic so animals can enter land.
  • Even though vertebrates have won againts the arthropods the battle is not over.

CARBONIFEROUS!

  • 299 million years ago fish still rule the seas, but arthropods rule the land.
  • There were 9 foot centipedes, 3 foot dragon flys, and 5 foot scorpions.
  • There were giant plants so more oxygen and that made arthropods bigger.
  • Along with the first insects were the first reptiles.
  • There was soon not enough carbendioxy too provide the plants and than not enough oxygen too provide the giant arthropods.

PERMIAN!

  • 251 million years ago the earth was hot giving rise to the rule of reptiles, but they were difrent.
  • They were related to mammals. Even though they were the ruling animals most were going extinct.
  • One day underground magma was brewing it suddenly squirted out of the earths crust.
  • Toxic gasses were reliced in the air poisoning life into extinction.
  • Only 10% of all life survived to repopulate the earth and create the animals we know today.

TRIASSIC!

  • 200 million years ago after a mass extinction the earth has recovered.
  • But new groups of animals enter the earth, small mammals, reptiles in the sky and sea.
  • Not to mention the very first dinosaurs. They started out small but will soon have world domination.
  • But for our future lords of the earth they were not much of a threat to the giant crocodiles and mammal like reptiles.
  • All the continents were fused together to make a super continents called Pangia. But Pangia was spliting apart.

JURASSIC!

  • 145 million years ago dinosaurs took over the world.
  • Also pterosaurs (Flying reptiles) took over the sky and plesiosaurs (Marine lizards) took over the ocean.
  • Mammals still live under the shadows of giant reptiles. Then a new group of animals came in, birds.
  • The world was filled with giant sauropods and allosaurss. .
  • As big as these reptiles are there are much bigger reptile 100 million years later.

CRETACEOUS!

  • 65 million years ago dinosaurs became the biggest and deadliest animals to ever exist.
  • Every continent was dominated by giant reptiles. Even Antarica.
  • On the other hand mammals and birds aren't getting any bigger, and the first flowers evolved.
  • Now life seems to be going pretty good until the invader from space.
  • An astroid hit the earth killing every thing bigger than a dog. Giving rise to mammals.

PALEOCENE!

  • 23 million years ago the dinosaurs are gone and the earth is rulled by mammals.
  • Mammals were small at the beginning and under the rule of snakes and birds.
  • Soon the mammals grew huge and took control of the land and even the ocean.
  • Every where you looked were mammals, large mammals.
  • Survival in the harsh changing world was simple for these adaptable mammals.

NEOGENE!

  • 10,000 years ago this world was filled with giant beast on land.
  • Eventually 2 million years ago man entered the earth.
  • Soon 1 million years ago the earth the earth moved backwards and froze.
  • The world was filled with wooly rhinos, american camels, ground sloths, saber toothed cats, and mammoths.
  • Eventually the earth moved back to normal and the mega beast went extinct.

MODERN TIMES.

  • Us humans have conquered the earth and rulled the earth.
  • We have built cities and discovered electricity.
  • But what we have done most is harm the environment.
  • We cause the extinctions of multiple species.
  • It is important to keep our world clean and safe for animals.
