In the Gaeaverse, specific animals that originally went extinct during the Pleistocene, earlier time periods, and even the Holocene survived to the modern day. This list will also uncover some species that never occurred in Symkaria, or Eurasian in...
It's no secret that there were Crocodilians in Europe during prehistoric times, including the Miocene. But a sudden change in events had occurred. All of a sudden, 5 distinct, but recognizable, Crocodilians live in the Wetlands of Symkaria. It is unknown as to how these 5 Crocodilians managed to survive in the Symkarian Wild.
