Catastrophic disaster, new beginning

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.

Well, that certainly looks inhospitable. I reckon that reptiles would be the main survivors in the deserts, whilst mammals and birds hold on mainly to the scrubland/ forests. Looking at this map, I think it's doubtful that red foxes could survive. Whilst they can currently be found all across North America and Northern Eurasia, all of that is buried under ice caps, and most of the surrounding area is irradiated. How're the British faring? Have we gone extinct?

I wonder if a similar rule would apply for the likes of Northern birds or if they would stand a better chance at emigrating than mammals? I think if reptiles finally get an upper-hand the better, was hoping to make this an unusual/unexpected future. Lol, the British would have had to move on and scatter a bit, at least, the ones who chose to flee the encroaching ice caps.

Yeah, I think birds may stand a better chance, although the majority of them would probably die out. Shame about Britain. Hopefully there is plenty of tea whereaver we migrate to.
