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, but it would have evolved from one of the biggest theropods of all time...


@Bexi: Albertosaurus is still too big. After a mass extinction everything weighing more than several kilos would be wiped out. The only non-avian dinosaurs which would survive are small deinoynchosaurs and ornithopods.

How about mammals and the larger non-avian dinosaurs go extinct, but small primitive coelurosaurs, tiny maniraptorans, tiny primitive ornithopods, and birds survive.

It could make sense if an extinction event made things alot drier during the K-T extinction then they were in our timeline. The need for more water could put mammals at a disadvantage. The tiny dinosaurs could adapt to the drier environment during the K-T transition while the mammals die off. Once the Earth recovers, then they could radiate and dominate again.
Sorry Link, I don't give credit. Come back when you're a little...MMMMMM...Richer.

Mammals would be able to adapt to drier conditions, there are many small mammals in today's deserts.
What about crocodilians, they were the main competitors for mammals. With them gone they should be able to diversify.

late cretaceous notosuchians strangely mimics mammals by some features (tooth resembles tooth of mammals etc.)

Dromaeosaurs are the most plausible out of the non-avians.

Perhaps a few smaller ornithosuchians, it's a little shaky.

And crocodiles with do well.

Any plans for marine reptiles?
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.

My most common misspelling. :D Though I prefer "dinsoaur".

There were no "primitive coelurosaurs" at the end of the Cretaceous only advanced forms like Deinonychosaurs, Tyrannosauroids, Oviraptorosauria and Ornithomimids. And avians.
