Description
“Southern Torpacuda (Carptorodon acanthocephalus): As the Ultimocene ice age rages onward, the ice sheets have advanced to almost entirely blanket the continent of Serinaustra, stretching out beyond the coast, where they shear and collapse into the ocean as they crust is buffeted by the currents. Along the edge of the continental shelf of the southern continent, a ichthyic predator is the bane of the marine molodonts and pretenguins which nest on the coastal icebergs and glaciers. The southern torpacuda is a hunter well-adapted to the frigid waters, a bruiser with spike-like teeth built for cutting through the blubbery, fat-rich hides of its polar prey. Competing only with the packs of smaller predaceous dolfinches, the torpacuda is otherwise an apex predator of the south polar waters, reaching over eight feet in length and up to nine-hundred pounds.
Due to the frigid waters in which they inhabit, southern torpacudas age slowly and spend much of their life in a period of low metabolic activity to conserve energy. This allows them to go many weeks in between meals, allowing them to eat much less than competing dolfinches. In preparation for a hunt, the torpacuda shivers its body and begins pumping blood vigorously into its body muscles to quickly raise its body temperature, which can rise more than fifteen degrees warmer within ninety minutes. The window of success before it cools off is relatively short, but torpacudas are supreme hunters; nothing in the ocean is faster than them underwater. During the few hour period of activity between long lulls of metabolic rest, they can become frenzied in their behaviour as nearly every animal in the sea becomes potential prey. Adults prefer the larger, blubber-rich molodonts, which can sate them for longer periods in a single meal, but with such a short hunting period they are not picky and will prey on anything that moves, from small flying seabirds resting on the water’s surface up to the enormous rakewhales, several times more massive than them.”
