Commo+Illuminae

<---Common Ringtail Possum (Modern Animal)
 * Commo Illuminae **

The Commo Illuminae is the descendent of The Common Ringtail Possum, and they live about 150 years in the future. This wiki page will explore the possible adaptations this animal might adapt in the future due to the change on earth and the environment and how will these adaptations help them survive. They have evolved from being nocturnal to day time animals because there are more food source in the day.

 * habitat **

150 years from now, the world will be described as a world made of glass, as everything will be covered with high tech glass and every land will be dominated by big and tall buildings. There will be no plants at all in the big cities, although some might appear in the smaller towns. Global warming would have taken its toll, and the world will be around 15-20 degrees warmer, and a lot cooler in the winter. The Commo Illuminae will develop an ability to spread out heat that gets absorbed into the body by their Ringtail tip. But they can still keep warm in the winter by curling their warm tail around their body. As you can see in figure 02, Australia would’ve joined with Antarctica and Eurasia, therefore, most of the Commo Illuminae’s would have made it’s way up to Eurasia, but some would have moved on to Antarctica. They can no longer live in woodlands or any forests due to deforestation, but by dating back to the 20th century, they have already started to interact with humans for food and resources. Due to a special connection humans have with them, they are sometimes even kept as pets. From all the interactions they had with humans over the past years, they have adapted an ability to earn food from human by using human’s compassion towards them. The ground was shattered and has been destroyed into pieces since the last earthquake. The cities have now developed a system to travel without the using the ground. Humans transport by transportations, which levitated. They fly through the city using their ringtails and by climbing along the walls of the buildings. They developed strong rubber type of materials on their paws, which helps them to cling on to the city’s glass walls. Their nails now only lash out when they feel threatened or unsafe. And their molars and incisors are hidden behind their whiskers so they do not frighten the humans. The predators of the Commo Illuminae include the descendent of the eagles, or any type of [|big birds] and big mammals. They have adapted from being an herbivore to an omnivore, due to a lack of the food source they usually eat, which are all found in the woodlands. They now eat a lot of human foods, but because human food contain a lot of sugar, salt and colouring, the Commo Illuminae has changed from brownish-white, to whitish-blue, so they blend with all the glass buildings.



This ability is adapted after all the buildings were built. The Commo Illuminae has paws with rubber like materials that can work like vacuum sucker. These rubbers help them to hang on to the buildings, which are mostly built without handles or bars as they are usually smooth and have a flat surface. This adaptation could be pressure by the need of the Commo Illuminae to travel in a high distance, and without the woodlands, the city has became their forest. However, it is dangerous for them to appear in such a tall distance, often they are hunted by large birds or any flying mammals. They are often hunted because they are small in size. This is helpful for their survival, as they cannot travel on the ground, because all transportations are made to travel above ground, and everything levitates. They no longer hold the pigmentation of brownish-white fur. Due to the over consumption of human food colourings, they are now a whitish- blue. This also becomes a camouflage for them when they are travelling along the buildings, so they can hide from their predators. Instead of having brown fur on their back, they are now white and grey. Their tummies are covered in a light blue coat of fur, and the last one third of their tail are covered in blue.

 * Behavioral adaptations **

Over the years, Common Illuminae has learnt something that has kept them alive for so long. It is impossible to find food without their woodland or a forest because they have all been destroyed, therefore, they can rely on human supplies. They have developed a special pose when they ask for food. They slowly bend down, enlarge their rod-rich eyes, and look up to the humans so they will think they are cute and give them food. Their environment because of the lack of trees and vegetation has pressured this; they have been forced to survive off humans. Without the woodlands, they can only inhabit on buildings. They have adapted to nest on buildings and their nests have the ability to levitate. They create a football-sized nest made by using the glass particles that comes off the building. This helps them survive because they need some things to rest or nest in in the nighttime. Unfortunately, many are killed off by transports that come and go and travel through air. This habit is pressured when the woodlands has all been destroyed, but possums are arboreal animals. So in order to keep this habit, they have to inhabit is higher areas.

 * Physiological adaptations **

Commo Illuminae has an automatic adjust pressure sacs inside their bodies and their ears. Because they have to adjust to the tall and high environment the world lives in now. For example, when they used to live in woodlands, they only have to climb up a tree. But now, they have to get used to buildings, which are at least 30 feet high. Without these pressure air sacs, they will not survive the height.
