Kronosaurus first showed up around 125 million years ago, when much of northern South America was underwater.

克朗龙大约在 1.25 亿年前首次出现，当时南美洲北部的大部分地区都在水下。

This eventually caused much of northern South America to become a giant wetland, fragmenting the former forest.

这最终导致南美洲北部的大部分地区变成了一个巨大的湿地，使以前的森林支离破碎。

On the flip side of this, the phenomenon is believed to lead to severe droughts across Central America, northern South America, Australia, Indonesia, and parts of southern Asia.

另一方面，这种现象被认为会导致中美洲、南美洲北部、澳大利亚、印度尼西亚和南亚部分地区的严重干旱。

And the youngest botanical carnivores  appear to be two species of bromeliad native to parts of northern South America  that evolved around 1.9 million years ago.

最年轻的植物食肉动物似乎是原产于南美洲北部部分地区的两种凤梨科植物，大约在 190 万年前进化而来。
