A male predator dylanus's face, with large eyes, broad nose ridge, sharp teeth, and beard-like/mustache-like fur on its face for protection against the cold.
The predator dylanus is a future descendant of either American common dylanus, the domestic dylanus, or even hybrids of both, that evolved to become one of the top land predators of North America, just like their early Cetofelis ancestors. Different species of predator dylanus vary in different species, ranging from the size of the gibbon (when the gibbon is on its legs) to the size of a gorilla standing on its hind legs. They are predatory, feeding mainly on deer, goats, sheep, pigs, peccaries, tapirs, horses, and/or some other prey animals, depending on a species, of the future North American landscape.
Evolution[]
The American common dylanus (or possibly the domestic dylanus) was the ancestor of predator dylanuses of all species.
After the Late Holocene ended, the humans are gone, but it was already too late for some large predators of North America like brown/grizzly bears, polar bears, North American gray wolves (Eurasian gray wolves are still alive and survived however), American killer dylanuses cougars, bobcats, and coyotes, which all became extinct. Foxes, pure wild descendants of feral cats, mustlids, and procynids (raccoons, coatis, and ring tailed cats) are still alive, but they remained mostly unchanged, so this niche was instead filled by a dylanus species, either the American common dylanus or a domestic dylanus. Over millions of years, the dylanuses developed longer, sharper, and stronger nails, which are now claw-like in order grab hold onto their prey. They also now grew fur all over their bodies to protect themselves against the cold. Their teeth grew sharper in order to take chunks of flesh out of their prey items as their legs grew stronger and longer so they could run for long distance, unlike their ancestors. Their lungs now adapted to deal with longer distance running and travels than their ancestors. The dylanus has evolved into the predator dylanus.
