New game, post an image/description of an animal from a fictional medium and have other members determine whether that animal's body size, dimensions, and design are plausible or not, and if so, describe the weaknesses and strengths you expect this animal to have. Also try not to bring creatures that obviously cannot exist like kaiju. I'll start.  speculativeevolution.wikia.com/wiki/Predator_Rats |

I'm not sure why a large predatory rodent would still seemingly retain some bit of the bottom corners of its top incisors; wouldn't it make more sense to simply become more pointed altogether? I also don't know why the bottom incisors aren't really all that pointed at all either.  www.sivatherium.narod.ru/library/Dixon_2/06_en.htm |

If that animal were the size of a tasmanian devil I could see it possibly filling out a similar ecological niche, but seeing as it is supposedly fifteen tons I doubt this animal could even support its weight with those terribly designed legs.

 How would you rate the design of the animal's teeth? |

I don't see the image.

Hmm, the "teeth" (tooth-like ridges) don't seem very numerous in number and they honestly do not look that sharp. But seeing as how Thylacoleo apparently didn't need that many and that sharp teeth to maintain an iron grip onto its prey, I guess that's acceptable.
