| 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!

First of all... hi! This is my first post on this forum (wow). Um, yeah. So anyway, about Vabmojer... Vabmojer is an alien world which I have made with several of my friends. It is an earthlike planet, but we have done our best to make the animals as un-earthlike as possible. We are working on a website, although right now it is not complete. Still, feel free to have a look! (And I apologise in advance for the artwork - I'm not the best drawer ever) Type this in the address box; www.vabmojer.bravehost.com See what you think! |

Time flows like a river. Which is to say, downhill. We can tell this because everything is going downhill rapidly. It would seem prudent to be somewhere else when we reach the sea. "It is the old wound my king. It has never healed." | |

Well, a low mass star with higher IR content could pull algae to float up catching infrared maybe |

They could have 'mats' of floating algae on the thermals. |

What would be the long term effects of having a low mass star? |

No idea. Xenokyro came round and looked at this, maybe he has some ideas. |

Yeah, I suppose so. Anyway, it won't let me post with the 'Add Reply' thing. I can only reply with 'Fast Reply' at the bottom. |

Welcome, Xenokyro! Glad you can post at last! As nothing much more has happened on the website, to my knowledge, I'll give you one of the upcoming species, from the genus Ocellidae; The Tree-Biter The species in the Ocellidae genus have one thing in common - ocelli, usually in groups of three or four behind the main-eye. Apart from this, and the presence of only four limbs, they are a very diverse group. There are runners, grazers, "rodents", and even an amphibious sealion-equivilent. But perhaps the most beautiful of this genus is the reclusive Tree-Biter. The Tree-Biter is a hoofed creature, roughly the size of a small horse, with slate-grey skin, which lives in the dense tropical rainforests of the northern continent, Matulande. It has no teeth, just a strong, well-muscled "beak", and a very long tongue. Living in an environment with lots of low-branched trees, the Tree-Biter uses it's powerful beak to bite into these branches, quite often severing off the ends. The trees thick, highly nutritious sap is pumped to the wound, to clog it up, but the Tree-Biter uses it's tongue, and a de-clogging salivate, to feed off the sap. Highly strung, these unique creatures quite often flee from jungle predators, although they do have small spikes at the end of their tails, used in defense if cornered. |
