Japanese future evolution site

Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself! Registration is free and instantaneous.

Maybe an abandoned mermaid's purse, then? What does it say on the site?

What era and what part of the world? Sorry, I looked everywhere on that site but still couldn't find it. Maybe I missed it.

If it just had a silhouette, it's probably a joke animal.

The sac mammal was 50 million years in the future in North America. As for joke animals, did you know they made prehistoric ones as well? Here's one from the Late Cretaceous.

Obey or I'll send you to the moon Posts: 5,648 Group: Members Member #275 Joined: Feb 24, 2010 Area of expertise: Future Evolution	Some are actually plausible. But the 5 MYF birds, while most are plausible, they are not in 5 MYF. Needs more time.

And do you remember that thing that looked like woman legs? I actually found something similar there, except that it didn't have those ends. Looked like suctions, although it was in the same stance.

I would say the site was very serious on some of the animals and not very serious on others. I even found the sophont birds quite plausible, but then I am sort of an optimist when it comes to spec-evo

OK I finally found out what that rodent thing was, hiding in that sac-like thing. Turns out I was right on the rodent part, but the "sac" is actually skin that apparently comes from the animal itself. It even uses the skin to glide, much like a flying squirrel. I'm not sure exactly how plausible that part is, though. Here is what the website says about it: Quote: Much ecological information is known organisms. It inhabits deserts and forests mainly. Waiting and cloth-like envelope in which the evolution of skin, which greatly increase when predators threaten. Also, sometimes it seems like a flying squirrel gliding with this fabric are still wrapped in a cloth-like objects. And size from that fellow seems to have evolved from monkeys That is not known exactly.
