| 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.

JohnFaa, I understand why you're upset that everything happens in the USA. But consider this- the maxim "Write what you know." Obviously it also applies to television, and since much television originates here, naturally a TV series that occurs in a setting familiar to both the writer and the audience is preferable. However, I imagine that the American spinoff series would not be set entirely in the US, and instead cover the effects of anomalies around the world, so you could still possibly have your Turkey episode.

Ugh, I hope there's no film. Movies made out of tv series are rarely good. |

What are you talking about? Turkey does not exist in American fiction. 90% of the world is America, the rest is Surrenderania, Englandland, Canadaia, immigrant land, South America, Ostralia, Oreland and Japan. It think it would be very interesting to see see this kind of program set in China or Africa. |

The predator could evolve only if humans where gone. However is you scale it down and get rid of the crazy looking bumps "what are they for anyway" them I think it could work. Also they never said how long this stuff had to evolve. For all we know the Gremlin/Camouflage Creature with its imposabel camouflage may live hundreds of millons of years ahead and has had time to evolve it. Ditto with all the others. Also we had bugs that big in the past so whats wrong with Megoptera? |

No we hadn't; the largest insects were hawk sized, not eagle sized. The future predator has many issues. To begin with, it is a very active predator that it is NAKED; granted, at least one modern bat is furless, but its the exception, not the rule (and its not very active not even when flying anyway); second, besides the bumps we also have the two fingered hands, when bats only use one finger to support their weight on the ground and the rest support the wing, and then there's all those offspring when bats can't have any more than two at each time. And thats the tip of the iceberg |

The future predator might of been genetically created, I have no idea how the hell Megoptera came to be. |

I was talking about the giant bug, who frankly looks more like walking cow shit than a beetle. I do congratulate the winning kid for winning the contest of making Primeval creatures, but nontheless I still think he had diarrhea when coming up with the insect |

TBH the only implausible creatures seem to be the fungus and the megagiant insects. Having watched the series the Future Predator had originally evolved in a humanless environment some million years hence but was then introduced into the (alternative) near future by an anomaly under future ARC/MI control. The Insect is much too large unless it's breathing apparati have been heavily engineered/improved to cope with our oxygen levels (which might be possible if it's a future GM creature...). Likewise, the fungus is just laughable. Even the zombie fungus that attack insects in South America can only partially gain control over their nervous system - it creates an irresistible urge to head up towards the light. |

some of these creatures are plausible, but none of them would be around at same time, the big bug thing is possible in a kind of neo carboniferious era, the mers are if a population of primates got isolated on an island somewhere for a few million years, the camo thing isn't possible as aye ayes are nearly extinct and won't survive most likely, tthe future predators - why would bats become that, fungus creature heck no |

Do more reacurch we had bugs that dwarfed the megagiant insects in the carboniferious era and as I said before they never said how long this stuff had to evolve. For all we know the Gremlin/Camouflage Creature with its imposabel camouflage may live hundreds of millons of years ahead and has had time to evolve it. Ditto with all the others. Also I do not think the cam monster is a type of aye aye but clouser related to the future predator and is some sort of flightless bat. |

Time can't do what is not possible. I suspect that the Future predators are a paradox. They were cloned by the ARC from predators that are descended from ones created at the ARC. |
