Description

The Anstevan Archipelago off the northwest coast of Serinaustra is an exotic land of strange animals. Sealumps reached this island continent just as they did mainland Serinaustra 5 million years ago. They found there, following the great thaw, a landscape of low-growing vegetation - an endless buffet, and no competitors to fight for it. Though flying birds later joined them, they would remain the dominant grazers on this place, which they alone as flightless animals managed to reach. For the burrowing burdle and the foxtrotter never came so far west; the currents they rode and ice bridges they crossed took them due south, missing the archipelago. And because these islands, even when under the ice sheet, were so far west that they didn't sit on the richest stretches of the icebox seaway few molodonts or pretenguins gathered here to breed. As a result, snowscroungers never established themselves there either, and were marooned away from it when the lands thawed. When the ice was all gone, the sealump inherited Ansteva. They diversified greatly, filling many niches taken by wildly different creatures in other places, and were joined later by other unusual colonists to produce one of the most unique assemblages of animal life on Serina in the middle hothouse.
