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.

Hyraxs are evolved into antelope like forms-two groups - one have tusks like babirusa and second have little trunk and little elephant like trunk...the trunked are more diversed

hornrusks live only in mainland africa
Trunked live in mainland africa and two species in asia

i give here scatch tomorrow

there is also two species of dugong like hyrax,but they are slowly replaced by other,more succesful marine mammals

La Plata dolphins are more likely in my opinion, since they are the least endangered

what he said

and I didn't say his drawing sucks, I said that his drawings remind me of Metazoica, and yes, he does draw better than me
My sporadically updated Youtube page

Do you get it? I hardly ever come here so I'm like something a cryptozoologist would study

Once again Bexi, give credit for using my map, or make your own. Oh and if the world has higher seas how come some areas have MORE land, like the areas you edited in?

Thanks for the credit! :)

Now, on the map, if your world does not have higher sea levels, then you cant you my map, because its for a situationwhere about 85% of the worlds glaciers have melted off.

We have wallabies in england too... :P

The drawings are pretty accurate.

It seems everything's become shaggier and more snow-orientated, have you migrated them away bfrom the tropics?

Do your terror birds eat worms?
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.

thanks,i started to use only pencil and ink,but i want to lear how color pictures in photoshop,but climate are same as today(except antarctic-there is something like gulf stream)

terror birds - the smallest eats snakes,lizards and small mammals,the biggest eats larger mammals(to size of a today horse) but they hunt only sometimes-they are pseudoscavengers


P.S i saw last summer jackal near my house(i live in czech republic,in beatifull landscape of Lednice-Valtice area)

I would change the red deer decendants to white tailed deer, they are much more wide spread and succeful. you aren't the best artist I have seen, but you are better than me.

I agree with flish, white tailed deer are better as they occupied many niches of megafauna after the pleistocene megafauna extinction, their just so numerous and adaptable...

And why is the wallaby quadruped? The red kangaroo is one of the fastest animals, it can run 70 KMH, so hopping is not a bad way of locomotion. In fact, I see them walking before being quadruped.

P.S. Don't steal.

By one of the fastest, do you mean in the top thousand? Plenty of sea creatures and birds can go faster than 70kmh.

I don't really see why you would go from hopping to walking- walking places continuous stress on the legs, hopping only temporary.
