Jungle animals begin successfully infiltrating urban areas; a panther kills at least nine people in downtown Dallas. “I don’t know why the animals are getting smarter,” says zoologist Eli Sperle-Cho, “but it’s definitely happening.”

OCT. 19, 2071: An army of panda bears attacks Beijing, killing twelve hundred people and wounding thousands more during a bloody four-day onslaught.

APRIL 5, 2072: Animals are banned from the moon. House cats now kill more people than heart disease.

MAY 29, 2073: In a consolidated effort, America, China, Great Britain, and Russia declare war against the animals. It is decided that all military maneuvers will be conducted by robots.

2074 TO 2078: Robot vs. Animal War.
