It is estimated that there are 4,000,000,000,000+ (four trillion or more) species on Dato, most of which are unsurprisingly microbes, many of which are extraterrestrial in origin.

The third hypothesis is that they were Kaimere'd by native life based on the discovery of Transmutae, a class of microbes known for collecting and replicating matter, though molecular evidence confirms that they appeared during the Carboniferous, so that can't be possible.

Another hypothesis posits that they were seeded by a sophont species, though considering life dates from 635 mya-2 mya, it is unlikely that a single species could have done that without evolving or going extinct.

It is unknown how tellurian life appeared on Dato, a popular hypothesis is that a rift in spacetime brought the species to Dato, though this has yet to be seen.

A similar phenomenon occurs in Yomi, albeit there it is largely barren with a few trees. These seem to be linked to "magical crystals" inside the caves of some continents...something isn't right.

The poles, on the other hand, are both opposite temperatures for unknown reasons, the Heavenly Pole (north) is very cold while the Hellish Pole (south) is, as the name suggests, very hot. This defies any logic so it is believed this might be artificial.

Dato is largely similar to Earth in both in mineral composition, atmospheric composition, and water, which made it very easy for Earth species to colonize, beginning with microbes.

96% of life on Dato is descended from clades from the Ediacaran to the Pliocene. As such, many of them should be familiar to the human eye, being relatives of extant taxa or members of long extinct clades, though some might look unusual, almost surreal one might say.

What if I gave the Parankylosaurs horns and antlers?
