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.

But they're so successful, just because you need a deer replacement doesn't mean that you can't have a deer to replace the other deer. With the pleistocene megafauna extinction the white tailed deer took most of the megafauna niches, and its range expanded from Canada to Mexico.

Wolves are back on the upcurve. They're already pretty much perfect, i can't see them changing much. Until the temperature kicks in, when they could grow camouflage and perhaps get smaller.
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.

But would wolves survive? In one of the European countries (think it was in the Scandinavian peninsula) they had a limit to how many wolves could live in the country. So when they had around 5 over the limit, they allowed people licenses to kill wolves, provided that they turn in the heads so that they can know how many wolves were killed. Guess what? Hundreds signed up. Wolves are really probably going extinct.

No, actually. Right now, schemes are underway to reintroduce wolves to scotlanbd, ireland, eastern europe, northern parts of the mainland, etc. They're slowly recovering in America, and the asian forms aren't doing too bad either.

my uncle lives in slovakia mountains and he is ranger(gamekeeper).He say,that there are only small number of pure wolfes....all others are hybrids with dogs.Pure wolfes have got very big fear from humans and they leave young if human come to they de.In fact wolfes are most vulnerable eurasian and american big carnivore


but thats true,there are many species,which are reintroduced to czech republic(wisents,wolfes,bears,lynxs,wild cats,beavers-near my home live about 15 families of beavers)

You can see the hybrids because of their colour. Recently, black and red wolves have become more common, they are hybrids.
