The Future Is Wild –Episode Four Prairies of Amazonia

The Carakiller

Today on Far Future  Horizons we are going to take a voyage five million years into the future and visit South America where the Amazon forest once existed.

This episode features three species: (1) Carakiller, a descendant of the caracara which has evolved to replace land predators; (2) Babookari, a descendant of the uakari which lives like baboons and has discovered how to catch fish; (3) Rattleback, a descendant of the agouti which has developed tough armour and can live through quickly-passing grass fires.
