Fauna of Escana

The fauna of Escana consists of a huge variety of animals. The great majority of species is endemic to Escana, this is due to the continent's geographical isolation, its great climate diversity and its late discovery by humans (first around 10,000 years ago only in the north, by the Nagrapurian people when the lands between the Nagrapur Islands and escana were above water. Nagrapurians were only present in small numbers. The first big immigration wave happened around 800BT, when the Arai people arrived on the continent). The fauna of Escana has many particularities : it has the most venomous species on the planet, its isolation since early Eocene (roughly 50 million years ago) is the cause of the presence of many "prehistoric-looking" species such as the Creodonta order (like Patriofelis sylvestris, descendant of Patriofelis ferox, an extinct prehistorical species), and a consequent amount of gigantism in wild species like Pteropus Gargantuan, the biggest bat in the world with a wingspan of around 2 meters. The Escanan wildlife appears to be quite well preserved as most of the species manages to terrify the arriving people in escana for a long time.
