Welcome to the Hypothetical Prehistory wiki! Here, you can make your own articles about your own prehistoric life and events! You can study the titanic Eurasian mammoth, or examine the odd, piglike Dicynodonts known as the Sclerorhamphids. You can learn about the wombat *Geritunio*, or the unusual bovine-like WhatIsThis?saur. Take a peak at the giant Mokian Elephant, the ferocious Ataban Eagle, the crafty *Eodeinonychus*, or the insect-like Hitruspolia Galia. Then, of course, you can make your own articles, whether it be a giant predatory skunk, the world's fastest dragonfly, a tree that was resistant to fire, or an extinction event that killed off 97% of all life on earth. You are the decider; you get to make your articles as weird as you want! This wiki is all about fictional!

***Bandersnatchia*** (named for a creature in Lewis Carroll's *Through the Looking-Glass*), is a genus of tyrannosaurid theropod which lived during the Campanian stage of the Late Cretaceous. Aspects of its anatomy suggest that it may be part of the anagenetic lineage leading to the genus *Tyrannosaurus*.

Hypothetical palaeo-news of the week
The discovery of a dinosaur nest in the Chinese Fangyan Formation in late January 2022 revealed vital information about tyrannosauroid nesting habits. The nest, belonging to a *Fangyanosaurus*, contained 7 eggs and a brooding mother. The mother was important because it revealed that this genus of tyrannosauroid watched over their eggs. This implies that more tyrannosauroids might have done the same thing, and that egg-brooding was not limited to oviraptorids.

Random featured article

The **Eurasian Mammoth** (***Mammuthus gigas***) is an extinct species of giant Mammoth hailing from Early Pleistocene-Early Holocene deposits in Europe and Asia. The main difference between *M. gigas* and other Mammoths is that *M. gigas* has an unusual tooth structure, with the molars placed in rows of two. Another difference is that *M. gigas* had very deep nasal passages, suggesting a longer trunk than those of other proboscideans. Furthermore, *M. gigas*, as it's name suggests, was the largest Mammoth known, reaching heights of 16 feet and weighing 19 tons. Due to an abundance of known fossil material, the Eurasian Mammoth is one of the most studied of all proboscideans. **(Read more...)**

The extinct tortoise ***Rotagota*** was an omnivorous animal that lived on the planet of Carth. Like its relatives *Megagota*, *Teinogota*, and *Mokechelys*, *Rotagota* ate both animals and plants, though it preferred plants. *Rotagota* had a sharp beak that could easily slice through vegetation. An unusual trait about *Rotagota* is that it had many small, sharp teeth at the back of its jaws. This feature is shared with *Teinogota*, though *Rotagota has slightly more teeth.*
