Meanwhile, there is barely any land south of 70°S - a few archipelagos and scattered islands - and only a single small island south of 80°S. | ||
The continental landmasses have mostly been isolated for long enough that they have developed their own distinct fauna and flora. There are, in fact, some large continental ecoregions for fauna and flora: Seralton-Šacoria-Témo as a large continent, with Southern Témo having more endemic species that haven't spread elsewhere due to the deserts of northern Témo and central Šacoria. Lusaṃrīte and Jūhma have their own species, and have in common many species between them, though mainly in flora and temperate fauna, while animals in their tropical zones are quite distinct; Purédo has species in common with both Ceránen (temperate and boreal) and Euxiten (tropical), but the three continents have mostly distinct species. | The continental landmasses have mostly been isolated for long enough that they have developed their own distinct fauna and flora.
