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!

Obey or I'll send you to the moon Posts: 5,648 Group: Members Member #275 Joined: Feb 24, 2010 Area of expertise: Future Evolution	Buffalo in Aussie? Really the only buffalo-sized herbivore that will survive there are camels. And baboons are better for the carnivorous primate. But unless they were to start replacing Carnivora I really don't see them outcompeting felines. Felines are THE best predators since Hyaenadon and the theropods. I would like to see South America, Lemuria, North American Plains, or Aussie. Your choice.

not a Transhuman Posts: 2,933 Group: Members Member #282 Joined: Mar 10, 2010 Gender: Male	i find that there are feral water buffalos in australia...because the most of big cats will be extinct,mandrills will have free niches in africa,but plains will be ruled by secretary birds descendants and carnivores (order of mammals,i dont have any species at this moment)

Obey or I'll send you to the moon Posts: 5,648 Group: Members Member #275 Joined: Feb 24, 2010 Area of expertise: Future Evolution	There are still felines in Africa. And again, baboons eat a lot of meat and are VERY vicious. They eat lions. So baboons are better. And Secretary Birds seem more like taking the cheetah niche, rather than the big heavy predator niche.

Obey or I'll send you to the moon Posts: 5,648 Group: Members Member #275 Joined: Feb 24, 2010 Area of expertise: Future Evolution	Baboons are still better than mandrills though, and they have a better chance at surviving.

not a Transhuman Posts: 2,933 Group: Members Member #282 Joined: Mar 10, 2010 Gender: Male	they will be arboreal predators of jungle,maybe one or two terestrial species...they have got chance to evolve into carnivore too and i dont want here carnivore baboons,because they are in almost all future evolutions

Obey or I'll send you to the moon Posts: 5,648 Group: Members Member #275 Joined: Feb 24, 2010 Area of expertise: Future Evolution	Baboons are more diverse and widespread, while Mandrills aren't. Plus they're vulnerable. This is the range of the Mandrill: If something's in a lot of Spec Evo projects, it means it's good. And exactly how many projects have them besides the Postozoic? And for the next biome, I'd like either Lemuria/East Africa or some biome of Australia.

Glyptodilo[/b descendant of armadillos,looks like glyptodont,but it has different looking armor. Pampas Megatapir rhino sized descendant of tapir.It has trunk and tusks,but it looks more like pyrotheriums than elephants Little Marzelle descendant of Mara,it has hoofs. Minotaurus descendant of cattle,slightly looks like sivatherium Megaiornis descendant of rhea,it slightly bigger than malagasi elephant birds Birdelope looks like its ancestor rhea,but lives in herds.Its something like bird antelope.

not a Transhuman Posts: 2,933 Group: Members Member #282 Joined: Mar 10, 2010 Gender: Male	I changet it for last,to 15 MYF i am working on middle europe forest biome and i want do do about 15-20 species so here is first Foxes are great survivors.They can live in heavily populated areas,like cities.After Holocene extinction,after what are many niches empty,foxes fill them.Alongside with light builded Running foxes and tiny Mouse foxes is Vlok descendant of Red fox. Vlok Vlok is adapted to temperate forests of Europe.Thanks to brown fur,can hide in deep forests.Animal is 1,5m long and 1 m tall in shoulders.Lives in small familly groups,but hunts usually solitary.Prey include various rodents,langomorphs,sometimes pairs hunt together and can kill smaller ungulates,like common Kozlops.They are not primary carnivores,sometimes they eat fruits and fungus.Like today foxes,they make burrows.Sexual maturity comes fast,in 1,5 years,life duration 18 years. uncolored sketch Edited by Ook, Jun 1 2010, 03:22 PM.

Obey or I'll send you to the moon Posts: 5,648 Group: Members Member #275 Joined: Feb 24, 2010 Area of expertise: Future Evolution	Bexi   big bang of new species That's what's called "Adaptive Radiation". There are several Latin combination's you could use. Latin Names First part Second Part Post (future) zoic (era) Meta (after) cene (I think it's time) Neo (new) can't remember the third one Postozoic, Metazoic, Neozoic: taken Postocene, Neocene: taken You could do the Metacene (after time), meaning after humans.
