Dunkleosteus ferreus (commonly known as the Armored Reef Dunkle) Habitat: Cold, rocky freshwater basins and submerged cavern shelves where light stays dim and the water remains consistently chilled. Diet: Small fish and crustaceans; fragmentation patterns on prey indicate powerful shearing plates despite the species’ reduced size. Behavior: A solitary, heavily armored descendant of the Devonian predator. It moves in slow perimeter arcs, using its plated skull to probe crevices and navigate tight

Serpentis quetzalis (commonly known as the Quetzalcoatl Serpent) Habitat: Mist-shrouded Central American cloud forests and canyon groves Diet: Medium to large mammals such as tapirs, peccaries, and wild boar Behavior: Solitary and territorial; rises vertically when threatened, spreading its heavy brown feather hood to appear larger. Rarely observed in the wild, historical accounts suggest its regal appearance may have inspired early Mesoamerican depictions of a feathered serpent god. #fyp #ai #a
