Deer and Antelopes After Man

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.

Most of them have never hunted their entire lives. They're like housepets.

Quote: johnfaa..? wolfes lived in europe for pretty long time,canid like hyaenas were outcompeted earlier Canine like hyenas disappeared in the Pliocene, but modern hyenas ruled Europe and Africa during the Pleistocene. Gray wolves only arrived to Europe in the late Pleistocene, after the brown hyenas were gone from there

Adolescent Posts: 199 Group: Members Member #180 Joined: Jun 8, 2009	You guys are forgetting something. For one, zoo's are meant to keep the animals in. During Katrina, the animals at the New Orleans Zoo didnt escape? Why, because they couldnt. If you go to a zoo, enclosures are blocked from escapes. The animals would starve. Sure there may be the odd case where something might get out, but the likely scenario is that zoo animals will starve to death. Dont get me worng, I had a project with an American filled with zoo animals It's fun, but I dont think its likely.

They have a good foothold and can survive in all of the USA, whereas all the others are confined to the south. A hyena is smaller, slower and has less body strength than a wolf. And wolf packs are one of the most advanced social structures in the world. Also, humans now think that invasive species are evil. They'll cull them. Zoo animals start with small, weak populations which are tame and would find it very hard to acclimatise to the USA.
