| 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!

News report today - they've sited Bull Sharks in the Swan River (it's an estuary / brackish where the city of Perth sits on it). But the salt water is much further up the river since man's dredging activities.

I think it's less to do with pussy-ism and more to do with the fact that we kill over 1.5 mn a year |

Well, maybe their fins shouldn't be so delicious. |

We should all aspire to die surrounded by our dearest friends. Just like Julius Caesar. "The Lord Universe said: 'The same fate I have given to all things from stones to stars, that one day they shall become naught but memories aloft upon the winds of time. From dust all was born, and to dust all shall return.' He then looked upon His greatest creation, life, and pitied them, for unlike stars and stones they would soon learn of this fate and despair in the futility of their own existence. And so the Lord Universe decided to give life two gifts to save them from this despair. The first of these gifts was the soul, that life might more readily accept their fate, and the second was fear, that they might in time learn to avoid it altogether." - Excerpt from a Chanagwan creation myth, Legends and Folklore of the Planet Ghar, collected and published by Yieju Bai'an, explorer from the Celestial Commonwealth of Qonming Tree That Owns Itself

They aren't delicious. Shark Fin Soup is flavoured. Also, scratch those statistics. Apparently its 100 million shark deaths a year due to fishing |

Gah, cane toads. I hate cane toads! Seriously. I wish you Australians would invent some amazing cane-toad killing superweapon and blow the little buggers to smithereens in one big Crowning Moment of Awesome. Also, Africanised bees sounds interesting, but I live in Africa, and in Africa, we have African bees*. We're not extinct here, so I don't exactly know what the problem is. *Not actually sure what the species of bee is that we have here. Might not be the same as was hybridised with those European bees.

That's a good point, people in wartorn, AIDS infested, drought ravaged countries can cope with African bees. I think the USA can just about survive. And it depends where you live, down in the south you have Cape Bees, but up in north there are African Bees. Though perhaps for not much longer, someone brought Cape bees north in the 90's and now the female workers will enter an African hive, start laying female eggs and just don't stop. Eventually the colony gets too large and collapses. |

It's the hybrids that are dangerous. Mind you, they aren't dangerous if you aren't stupid/lame. |
