Same kind of animated critters, but in the context that they evolved on Earth in the distant future under dramatically changed environmental conditions. Much more believable IMO.

  - Why are all future animals so wild? Aren't there any calm ones by then? - ljk - 8/26/2005 1:15:57 PM
    - That was my question actually. I think most animals left on Earth in a few centuries will be domesticated varieties. - SDF - 8/26/2005 1:37:39 PM

        Most species on Earth are just as evolved as us, meaning we are just as vulnerable today to a mutant virus wiping out 80 percent of humans on Earth (n/t) - SDF - 8/27/2005 12:39:12 PM

        There may be evolutionary developments that are more inherently advantageous than brain-power - SDF - 8/29/2005 12:54:27 PM

        or maybe.... even another species wiping us out (n/t) - SDF - 8/27/2005 12:41:29 PM
