| 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!

It seems that, according to oxygen isotope studies, spinosaurs not just were piscivores, but also appearently semi-aquatic, with Spinosaurs being the least aquatic species and Siamosaurus the most. You all know what to do now... |

I expect long legs would be very useful when punting along the bottom. That's pretty much all hippos do, walk on the bottom and float. I wonder if they could have used the sail like that species of heron uses it's wings to shade the water and attract prey? |

Seeing as sails are imobile structures that wouldn't offer much in the way of shadows (not to mention that they had humps, not true sails), I'd say "no". |

What if a sail evolved to bend sideways on the ridge of their bck? |
