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 more flying animals there are, the better the world will be.
Hence why his favorite oceanic fish is the flying fish.

Dinosaur Revolution was by far better, many of you main complain the animals were to anthropomorphic but they presented them as animals the belonged to a world, animals that had lives, and didn't just eat or get eaten,
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Would you laugh if the alpha Tyrannosaur bit off your arm and ate it.......plus they showed Troodon being a true omnivore, as far as browsing for some dead leaves for therefore your opinion is invalid and I remain flawless as my profile states...be gone now, peasant, from my sight XD

Just saw episode three, and it was rather good. It focused on late Cretaceous Theropods, so expect at lot of deadly lethal killer dinosaur killer that killed.

They do show predators failing though, which is nice.

I don't know about Dinosaur Revolution, something feels off about it. The dinosaurs seem to bounce about like gravity is much lower, at least to me.

The carnosaur first tries to attack a baby sauropod, good so far, but then it almost harmed a baby armoured dinosaurs, so the adults gang up on him rather than run away, which works but I'd expect them to want to get out of there. The carnosaur pushes the adult sauropod over, turns around and chases after the escaping baby for no good reason. The carnosaur catches it and has the baby sauropod on it's back, when out of nowhere a smaller carnosaur runs in and attacks the bigger carnosaur for no good raisin, buying the adult sauropod enough time to recover and crush the big carnosaur.

That seemed iffy to me. But I've not seen the whole show.

I HIGHLY doubt that there's a leroyjenkinsaurus... Anyway, the two look like an allosaurus and a ceratosaurus, respectively.
Anyway, I expect that the carnosaur didn't go after the fallen sauropod because it'd be dangerous. I mean, look at what happened with the baby one; it kicked him in the face! Imagine what the bigger one could have done. Predators are two things: lazy and cowardly. They always do things with the least amount of effort and risk.

True, but it had the adult at it's mercy, it could have grabbed the neck, no trouble. Animals do unpredictable things but this seems just odd. If you've taken the risk already, why not go in for the kill?

Because sauropods can kick. Hard. Not to mention that they may have used their necks and tails as weapons. All in all, an angry sauropod is not something you wanna mess with.

Most only kicked when they were downed.

This badass motherfucking could kick while still standing. It was the goddamn Bruce Lee of sauropods; ie piss it off and it'll crush your ribs with a powerful kick.

So glad you were not disappointed. I'm going to to watch it in about an hour.
It was great. I finally understand how pterosaurs were supposed to have walk now.

They kinda knuckle-walked... Sorta... Maybe... It'd be like us walking on the second or third joint of our pinkie finger. (Ouch!)

It helps that super carnivorous dinosaur eating near flightless pterosaurs are a thousand times cooler than the fish eating stereotypes... :D

Well I really liked the two episodes I saw of Dinosaur Revolutions on PayTV - the last one was with the two large whitefaced theropods - I thought that colouration was really cool... I can't remember what species they were, but they were tyrannosaurids I think.

The one before that was set in Portugal! Hence JohnFaa's approval no doubt?

Anyway, it was several notches above many of the recent dinosaur CGI documentaries I've seen.

I wouldn't mind a copy of it on DVD - but instead I might just download it.
