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.

It isn't really working.
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.

Maybe so, but they can't deal with arid areas.

Whoever's making you do these implausible/impossible creations, I'd like to give them a piece of my mind. Tell us who it is and we'll protect you from them. :D

alien because the animals will be extremly difrent there will be serpentoid mamals,
tripod descendands of ichtiornis, balon brown algae will take the niche after flower plants the starfishes will go onto land, etc
Holy Mother of FUCK!!!!

As i have seen in the other posts, pando and canis are 100% correct on these matters

Serpentoid mammals: Why? They would only be able to move up and down, not side to side like other vertabrates do. They would have to be like catapillars and be extremely slow. They would be practically serving themselves for lunch to predators.

TRIPODS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? How in the name of shit can tripods evolve from ichthyornis? First of all, the chances of a new single, functionable leg mutating are i estimate 1 in 10 to the power 200. And how would legs evolve from ribs. All the legs we have evolved from fins or in the molluscks case, extensions of tissue and muscle. It would also be ridiculously slow to move and would also be serving itself to predators.

Baloon algae? Why would they evolve when they have never evolved previously. Unless the atmosphere was much denser or something, they wouldn't exist. Brown algae are not as efficient as green algae on Earth either. I remember that Richard Dawkins commented that brown algae are more distantly related to us than plants and green and red algae, and that brown algae are similar to diatoms. But how could an organism in the sky fill in the niche of flowering plants on the ground unless it gave up its aerial lifestyle.

DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON ECHINODERMS BECOMING DOMINANT ON LAND.

This guys projects get wierder and wierder as it goes along, don't they? What next, for his "strange future" post, he would have sponges evolving into organisms living in space, which later evolve sapient and colonise the entire galaxy?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? This is just the way i see his projects.

Uhmm... yeah. The problem is that you're forcing this project to be as weird and interesting as it can be, but completly forgetting the laws of evolution and life itslef. It's a common mistake. People wants to make a fantasy/RPG world with plausible explanation for it's creatures, but that's very difficult because Spec Evo and Fantasy hate each other.

Also, do you speak english? Because I have a hard time understanding what you're saying.

Greetings young life form! Procyon Lotor at your service.
