| 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. Join our community today! |

We're trying to put together our own planetary system! Here's Sterrebeek (stare-uh-bake or stare-beck): ![]() Common Names: Giant Parrotbill, Great Conebill Scientific Name: Psittacorhampus giganteus Length: 4-5 feet long ![]() It lures its prey with the lure ontop of its head. Common names: Lesser Parrotbill, Mini Conebill Scientific name: Psittacorhampus minor Length: 2-3 feet long ![]() Lacks the lure of its larger relative. It can swim pretty fast. Common names: Shovelhead Scientific name: Macrocephalus velocipes Height: 3 feet tall ![]() Somewhat related to the parrotbills. This is a speedy, bipedal carnivore. Common names: Black Cloudflier Scientific name: None Length: 5 feet long ![]() Flies amongst the dark clouds, when they aren't present, it can swim. Common names: Spotlight fish, Yellowspot Scientific name: None Length: 6-10 feet long ![]() Lives in the benthic depths. Uses its yellow spots to blind its prey and to attract other females. Common names: Black Runningbeast, Beast of Sterrebeek Scientific name: None Length: 4-7 feet long ![]() It uses its huge muscular body to make tight turns to catch prey. |

The planet itself seems rather small and inarticulate as far as its geography. |

Oh I hadn't thought of that. It's not very big. Smaller than Earth. |

I'm making a planet too,its a gas planet called Indra.Its nearly twice as large as earth,and its gravitasional pull is between .5 and .6 of Earths.The concentration of oxygen is slightly larger then Earths,this and the low gravity alows giant air creatures to live here.These two pictures are of as follows,the map of Indra,and a size comparison of one representative of their species. Map of Indra,on the left is the surface,on the right are the zones. ![]() These are the animals of Indra. ![]() 1:Microflyers,Black floater 2:Planimals,Gas-grass 3:Paracopters,Dull paracopter 4:Cluds,Rainbow clud 5:Dark flappers,red-headed flapper 6:Air suckers,Flashing sucker 7:Flouds,Red-petaled floud 8:Airakes,Spine-tailed airake 9:Foot thrusters,Common thruster 10:Jellien,Great jogus 11:Jetellies,Pink jetellie 12:Frosters,Greater-northern froster 13:Sail-backs,Eel-tailed frump 14:Blownoses,Float-tail 15:Four-winged jetavians,Skewick 16:Jetavians,Steamer 17:Flaces,Shark-finned flace 18:Dandetrees,Yellow-stem 19:Giga-jets,Jale 20:Filter-floaters,Temperate filtris 21:Glow-bellies,Black demon And just for a note,those things sticking out of their heads are tongues,and jsut so you know,their mouths open to the horzantaly,not vertivaly.Also,in the jetavians,that extra tongue with the spikes is actualy part of the gums that stretches out and acts like a tongue,its used to grasp prey.Also,there are no plants on Indra,isntead,large colonies of tiny lifeforms or large invertabretes. |

Since this is actually the topic for someone's project that is not yours, I'm going to have to ask you to start a separate topic. |

That's why I put "as well as my friends" in the topic description.
