"To be, or not to be?": A Western Dire wolf (Aenocyon dirus guildayi) passes by a Tar Pit, in what one day will be Rancho La Brea. Will he escape the fate of his packmate, that's the Question.

Oðinn, the half-blind god of the stormlands
An 25 years old Allosaurus anax known for being the largest predator in the Morrison formation along with the emperor of magma (Surtr). A ginormous specimen known to instigate fear into the hearts of every other plant-eater or even high trophic level carnivores of the region. Scarred, one-eyed and intolerant, with a constant hunger in lands where food is abundant. Lives in the isle of Asgardr, where every animal has seen this being take out the life of any other specimen along with its brothers, going as far to hunting sauropods, and a certain event would then expand its reign of terror to the salt flats of Niflheimr, the deserts of Jötunhéimr and even the shining bright beaches of Álfhéimr.

Somewhere in Pliocene South Africa, Agriotherium claim the carcass of a megalodon.(Hodari Nundu)

More info given by the artist:- Somewhere in Pliocene South Africa, hyena bears (Agriotherium, once known as Hyenarctos) claim the carcass of a megalodon. This bear was highly carnivorous and comparable in size to today's polar bears- and had one of the strongest bites of any known carnivoran.

Mexidracon uses its long tridentlike hands to spear fish by the sea shore. (Hodari Nundu)
More description by the artist:- Somewhere in what will one day be northern Mexico, the absurd ornithomimid Mexidracon uses its long tridentlike hands to spear fish by the sea shore. Based on a rather bizarre find made in Coahuila.

Okay, listen, if either of you two can make it across that sinkhole in front of you, the sloth is yours. Mammoth vs two Wooly Rhinos
Hey, you know, you rhinos have really tiny brains, did you know that?
