Poggle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Poggle is a fictional mammal created for the film The Future is Wild. The poggle inhabits the Great Plateau (the point where Australia collides with Asia and North America) 100 million years from now. The poggle is a small large-eyed rodent, which evolved from hamsters. The poggle is also the last mammal on Earth. Once the climate warms up, insects and reptiles rise to dominance, further displacing the mammals. After 100 million years, the poggle is the last to survive. Poggles are very prolific mammals and they feast on grass-tree seeds. They live in small caves along with Silver Spider colonies. The spiders provide the seeds for the poggles. Once the poggles become fat and slow, the spiders slaughter one and eat it. Just as the poggles rely on the spiders for seeds, so too do the spiders for poggle flesh.
