Sagan 4 really needs to patch this bug, shaking my head, the organisms exploits the poor geometry on the trees to survive better.

In all seriousness, this is a funny little eagle-hawk-owl thing! I especially like how it seems like it’s just daintily holding that poor nodent between its hoof and its claw.

Silly of me to ask, but is this thing's head bigger than its body compared to its ancestor's head-to-body proportions or is it merely a perspective thing?

Awkward perspective and feathers

Out of curiosity...what nodent species is that? A Dundigger, perhaps? Since it's headless, it might be worth identifying in the description.

This eats so many juvenile fauna this might as well be a kid-killing eagle.

It's a dundigger, yes. I figured it wasn't really super important to identify it.

There's a surprisingly small number of small fauna. We need more little guys, rabbit size and smaller.
