| 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!

Gait is the way you walk. |

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. "It is the old wound my king. It has never healed." | |

Woops, I mean gait. Sprawling gait means the legs are out to the side, like crocodiles. Monotremes are the only living mammals with sprawling legs. ![]() See it's legs? They're out to the side. |

Actually, crocodiles can pull their legs underneath them in an erect gait. |

The land crocs were a branch that died out. And if crocs stay in their niches they will not lose their sprawling limbs, but they might if there were a lineage of neo-land crocs. |

Modern crocodiles can walk sprawling or erect. When scooting on the ground they sprawl. When moving over long distances they high walk with an erect gait. |

What pose does a 'normal quadrupedal' have? Frogs are quadrupeds. So are antelope, lizards, dinoceratans and dinocephalians. And they don't all have the same gait. |
