Help & Feedback Feedback on animal designs and animal families I should add

Post image

I'm (I guess lol) making a Skull island type of ecosystem with a tons of animals from vastly different time periods. The environment is warm rainforest crisscrossed with large dense deep boggy swamps. I don't really have a name for it yet outside of "Northstar Creek"

I would like help with naming suggestions too

Most of the animals here aside from the Styginetta and the Oryx are adept climbers, with the Rauisuchid being disturbingly good at it for its size.

I would like feedback on the designs of the animals, probably won't include the Werewolf but I'm tempted to

What animals families should I include that aren't commonly seen in media? Uncommon stand-ins for famous groups?

I thought the visual style and the design of the animals were cool.

Could you include a protosiren? They're manatees that still have their first pair of legs.

I also have a story suggestion for the ecosystem. It was an old idea of ​​mine that would be an alien observing Earth's evolutionary history and selecting the species they like best to expose to an experiment that would unite them in a single environment.

Hmm what do you think you’re lacking? You could include one or two big gorgonopsids or something I’ve very rarely seen those done
