= Bevolment =

Environment
The environment on planet consisted mountains, forests, and large rivers. Originally Bevolmont was mostly flat With a rare valley or river in between but after the ice ara the  glaciers carved out mountains and valleys. The water cycle on the planet consists of only rivers there is no oceans on the planet. But there is one large river that lead to the center of the planet where the water is sinks into the ground and then redistributed into the other rivers in the area. The planet is almost entirely covered in mountains that form in rows guiding the water the the center of the planet. Forest covers the mountain sides and the only current species of tree is the Arcardia which survived the ice area because of it's pine needle like leaves.

Major Changes
There are three major changes that happen to the planet over time. The Meteor that hit the planet has had its toll and is causing colder temperatures, the sudden drop of temperatures turned the weather cold enough to form glaciers. The ice ara was a period of time that carved Mountains and rivers. The prolonged temperature change caused the wild life to adapt to the environment and those who didn't adapt went extinct. The ice area went on for century s causing back lash to multiple parts of the planet and serious flooding generally followed were ever the glaciers traveled. The biggest of these floods caused mountains to crumble and the erosion was so great that you can barley walk with out the ground crumbling beneath them. Most of the Animals are very light because of all of the flooding.

Wild life
There are three main types of animal species on Bevolment, there are multiple other animal species like the Granesht or the Larkenest, but the tree main types of animals/plant is the Arcardia(plant), the Binolicth (herbivore), and the Starthel (predator). The Arcadia is the only existing family of tree on Bevolment, the tree grows along the sides of mountains. The tree is very tall standing at generally 34 ft to 71 ft at there tallest, Normally they have low hanging branches which is what the Binolicth feeds on. The branches on the tree are very long and the Arcardia generally are located in huge groups or quantitys and all are located very close to gather. The Binolicth is the most common herbivore on the planet, Normally the Binolicth Is about 25 ft (head to tail), they have horns on either side of there heads for protection against predators like the Starthel. The Binolicth generally are in heards of 4-12 and normally only has one dominant male in the heard, a female Binolicth normally only has one or two offspring but there have been a few who have had three offspring.The Binolicth almost always close to its food but can be found in valleys or closed to nearby streams. The Starthel is one of the the most common species of predator on the planet itself, the Starthel is very close to a timber wolf in size and stature.This wolf like creature has an amazing since of smell, eyesight, and hearing and can be found in packs of up to 20, amazing speed, sharp claws, and also the Starthel can stand on it's hind legs to pick a scent while hunting or to be able to see better. The Starthel is 4 ft tall and blends in with the environment almost perfectly, this makes it easy for it to sneak up on it prey.

Adaptations
The Arcardia was originally a mostly broad leaf family of tree, but after the ice ara the Arcardia Went completely to pine like trees. When the ice age came through the broad leaf trees could not get enough sun light to survive.The pine part of the family had the needles year round and got enough sunlight to produce and live during the ice ara. Over time the trees got taller to absorb whatever sunlight they could get, so with the getting taller so did whatever herbivores where out there that fed of of them, so the Binolicth also got taller. The Binolicth had to grow more fur to survive in the climate but it also had to grow with the Arcardia so that it could feed on the plants needles and bark. The Binolicth was shorter before the meteor and the ice area and it also had less hair( so did everything else on the planet). Two things happened to the Starthel it got taller and faster. The reason that the Starthel got taller is so it would have more traction or grip on the snow and the ice, Because of the extra height the Starthel also became faster than what it was before, this helped the Starthel to hunt the Binolicth and whatever other animals that the Starthel hunts.
