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.

The other day I was reading again Skull Island book and I saw many cuadrupedal theropods like avarusaurus. There is a possible way to this type of theropods?

i think its possible for more unspecialized theropods(like noasaurs) than maniraptors etc.

A couple of dinosaurs groups shifted from bipedal to quadrupedal posture so I guess it's possible.

One interesting thing that I found is that apparently there were never any quadrupedal meat-eating dinosaurs. Maybe the quadrupedal theropods would have a different diet than the other theropods.

If we think this, they can be like terrestrial crocs.

As The Dodo said, I already made a topic. Please use it instead:

(but the answer was probably no unless you used Triassic theropods)
