Do we have the slightest clue what Antartica life was like before it moved so far south that it oils more longer support very advanced life? Or is the fossil record just completely absent because how would we get it in Antarctica?

I have a youtube channel talking about extinct animals.

Thought it'd be fun to share a very short story from a project I'm working on. Hope you all enjoy!
I can't fit the entire short here, so I've left a link to a preview.
The short is titled "The Magnolia"

"The first shades of red pooling across a star-etched sky told the small one it was time to retire. Curls of fern hung like a jungle canopy above him as he sniffed and scurried along. The trunks of the trees were like great mountains, with heights his mind could not comprehend. Eyes adapted to the dark squinted against the harshness of the dawning rays, and even now the sun had not reached its full brightness. He needed to return home. Daytime was when the earth-shakers came. His size meant he was beyond the consideration of the great beasts with which he shared his home, but with them also came the fast ones, with clever talons and sharp jaws. It wasn't like the night was completely safe, plenty of predators went about their business during the darker hours. But an instinct deep inside his mammalian brain told him that he was safer when it was dark."

Inspired by the first episode of Prehistoric Planet season 2. I played up the rugosity on the snout and gave it a more boxy feel inspired by bulldogs and pitbulls to differentiate it from Prehistoric Planet's design.
