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.

Unless you have a border with China, you don't have anything to worry about. They have a nice navy, but it ain't blue water.

As for dealing with other survivors. Try to help as many people as you can. But no more than you can support.
The more people you have, the more work you can do and the more people you can support. More people means a better defence.

I'm going back to basics.

Pfft, Triffid's are small fry. The only reason they were dangerous was because everyone was blind.

I don't get why zombies bite you to transfer a disease. The human jaw is barely powerful enough to break skin, let alone draw enough blood for a chance of infection.

Oh, they're also nigh indestructible, unless you have a powerful flamethrower or a large Landrover.

If we're discussing a "Jurassic Park" scenario, are we talking about real dinosaurs or movie dinosaurs?

I would not be worried about real dinosaurs any more than I would about any other animal (of course, you don't get 12 meter long lions).

I would not be scared of one of those, if I had a good stick. They would be very, very scared of me if I had a shotgun. Or even a slingshot.

Or even a Vuvuzela. :ermm:

Dying quickly. Seems less painful.

It depends on what type of zombie we're talking about. Some versions only transfer infection through bites, others through fluids. It's a lot easier to get zombie blood or spit on you then it is for them to bite you.

In the Yellowstone scenario I'd stay in some kind of thick walled giant metal vault underground with renewable water, air, and food. It also has a special toilet ejects the waste. I'd never have to come out again, and I probably wouldn't want to come out. There's no reason to leave your safe home to end up in a volcanic wasteland.
Sorry Link, I don't give credit. Come back when you're a little...MMMMMM...Richer.

L'évolution Spéculative est moi

For just about any apocalypse scenario I always believe my best bet would be to raid the nearby stores for construction supplies (cement bricks, concrete, steel bars, etc) and fortify a nearby small cabin. It's next to a lake and has a large space of open ground where I could move all the plants from my garden and establish a small farm. I even know where to get a couple of solar panels so I could have electricity (except for an Emberverse scenario, in which I would gather canning supplies and fuel to burn).

As for a Jurassic Park scenario, I'd make contact with intelligent oviraptoroids and have them take me to their village and raise me as one of their own. It's the only logical option, I can't believe nobody here thought of it.
We should all aspire to die surrounded by our dearest friends. Just like Julius Caesar.

"The Lord Universe said: 'The same fate I have given to all things from stones to stars, that one day they shall become naught but memories aloft upon the winds of time. From dust all was born, and to dust all shall return.' He then looked upon His greatest creation, life, and pitied them, for unlike stars and stones they would soon learn of this fate and despair in the futility of their own existence. And so the Lord Universe decided to give life two gifts to save them from this despair. The first of these gifts was the soul, that life might more readily accept their fate, and the second was fear, that they might in time learn to avoid it altogether." - Excerpt from a Chanagwan creation myth, Legends and Folklore of the Planet Ghar, collected and published by Yieju Bai'an, explorer from the Celestial Commonwealth of Qonming
