Wildlife
Various prehistoric creatures reside in Caprona.
- Giant amphibians and insects such as the giant dragonfly-like Meganeura and the mammal-like reptile Dimetrodon are confined to the southern extremity of the island.
- Reptiles and dinosaurs dominate slightly further north.
- The lagoon in this region is infested with huge aquatic saurians such as Plesiosaurus and Mosasaurus, as well as nightmarish sharks called Helicoprion, according to Bowen Taylor's journals.
- Pterodactyls fly the misty skies, and dinosaurs such as the Coelophysis, Diplodocus, Stegosaurus, Allosaurus, Deinonychus, Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Brontosaurus, Iguanodon, Styracosaurus and Edmontosaurus overrun the land.
- Further north, mammals begin to dominate, beginning with the most primitive types, and upward through the late Pleistocene fauna, including the Aurochs, mastodons, mammoths, Woolly rhinoceros and Megatherium, preyed upon by lions, cave bears, saber-toothed cats, and giant panthers.
