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.

Noasaurids were basically small, opportunistic ceratosaurians that lived in the late Cretaceous. Therefore, they have a lot of potential.

In Terra Alternativa I'm already exploring the potential of noasaurs. I have tall browsers, fish eaters, small omnivores and medium to large sized carnivores.

Now imagine a world where there ain't no pesky competitors like birds or dromeosaurs. A huge amount of dinosaurian forms could come from them!

Well, in JohnFaa's TA maniraptorians survived, that may include Dromeosaurs which could take that role, although mammals or flightless pterosaurs or crocodillians would be a lot more inventive.
But in this topic were just saying they live all over the world.

How did they get to the northern hemisphere? A very small land bridge lasting a very short time?
Sorry Link, I don't give credit. Come back when you're a little...MMMMMM...Richer.

Bread is an animal and humans are %90 aluminum.

I think they could co-exist, although they would occupy different nichees in different areas
