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.

what if the bolid that hited earth during credacerous will be 12000 meters

the extinct spicies are
-all hemichorodates
-all flower plants(with few exceptions)
-all dinosaurs (with exception of bambiraptor)
-all pterosaurs
-all tailless amphibians
-all rays
-all rays
-all mamals (with exceptions of gondwanatheria,marsupials and eutheria)
-all squamates(with few exceptions)
-all birds (with exceptions of ichtiornis)
-all arachnids(with exceptions of scorpions and spiders)
-all crocodiles

sow wath you think (we speculkate about life on earth 200 milions after this K-T)

That I agree with. Though it's cool, I'm not sure proterix has that much potential against squamates.

the tripod descedant of ichtiornis will develope like that:
-the peinguin like descedant
-full marine descendant that bottom legs and its small taill merged into ending of new long tail
-amphibius descedant that transformed end of its tail and two ribs into leg
-fully land dweling tripod

The aquatic one I believe. Cause it happened in animals like sea lions.

But please, please, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE give up on the tripod land descendants! I really don't want to start a war.

Because there seems to be little to no incentive for it. Speculative evolution isn't about making things weirder; it's about making things different, while making them work.

Yes, I agree. A big (is it the biggest?) part of Speculative Biology is making it plausible. The animals are great for a Habitable Zone project though.

PLEASE GIVE IT UP! I'm begging you, PLEASE! Just do the penguin and aquatic ones and give up on the amphibious and tripod ones!

Yes, please! Great habitable zone project, terrible alternate evo project. Seriously: nothing on Earth (except perhaps the placoderms, but I doubt that) could have or could evolve into a tripod. Besides, why a tripodal stance for a bird, which has two legs AND two wings? A quadropedal bird, while not plausible would be a million times better than a tripodal bird.

Yeah, it's easier for feathers to evolve in hundreds of alien worlds and from mammals on Earth than from icthyornis to become tripods! Especially when there are so many niches in the air. Let bats and icthynornis descendants fill the air.
