| 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!

Hey everyone. I was hoping you guys could give me a hand. I'm in the middle of a project on another forum called Avalonia Alone, in which Avalonia didn't break up into New England and Western Europe as it did in our world. I've got a general idea for climate, which you'll find in the thread. But I was hoping that you could give me a hand with some of the animals native to the island. My guess is it'd be dominated by multituberculates, with some creatures that are descendants of the last common ancestor of placentals and marsupials. But I'd live some more specifics. If you'd like to help me out, that'd be awesome. Also, if any of you are good artists, I'd love drawings as well. |

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." | |

One of my ideas came from watching Discovery Channel's new Quetzalcoatlus model (very updated since Animal Amarggedon and When Dinosaurs Roamed America, and that can be now seen in Clash of the Dinosaurs). While pterosaurs will not be present in this project, I thought of a linage of flying, stork like paleognaths that could occur in Avalon, with heads similar to those of azhdarchids |

Bump. Any idea what plants Avalonians would use for agriculture? I'm imaginining that the west would be dominated by orchards and fields of exotic fruits and vegetables bred from the fruit trees and underbrush plants from the western forests. In the east would be the grain farms, with grains descended from the grasses growing in the eastern grassland. So, any idea what form those plants would take? |

I'm going to go ahead and bump this up. Just to know that this project is not yet dead. |
