Seems like their whole race is content in being mid-tier ecosystem niche filler
>>5075100my guess is their speed and slitheriness is their strong suit which they would lose if they became bigger, and they wouldn't be able to compete with other large predators that already fill those niches
>>5075100They have tried. Their build doesn’t scale well. The small ones like stoats essentially survived whatever took the dinosaurs out. The the sub 3kg ones are the apex in the niches they fill. They’re more like minmaxers than jobbers. Stoats and Weasels have the best power/strength/speed ratios in their weight class.
>>5075100Megalictis was a weasel the size of small bear or large cougar. They couldn't compete with other mega fauna. I'm guessing the weasel platform is just too high energy demand to get bigger than wolverines.
