BURGINABC recently added BackstoryHorror to the main trope page. I think this example can be expanded on but feel it warrants some discussion.

\"It is made clear from the very beginning that that the inhabitants of this world had evolved from ordinary wild animals, which naturally tended to kill and eat each other.\"

Toward the end of the movie, a diorama in the Natural History Museum behind Bellwether, Judy and Nick shows a group of primitive bunnies standing upright and carrying spears holding a large wild cat (which is still in a PrimalStance) at bay up a tree

This strongly implies that all species did not evolve toward sapience at the exact same time. The staggered evolution of species really adds to the BackstoryHorror as you would have situations of non-sapient predators hunting sapient prey in order to survive (because of the rule of 10) or sapient predators trying to make sure they only hunt non-sapient prey for food.

Until both sides were able to consciously eliminate the food chain, it would have been a chaotic, horrifying time in their history.
