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.

A world I've been working on this past week (nearly two weeks now), only been able to upload the images to DA today:

thoughts?

ps: as I say in one post above, there's a clear influence from the Red Earth in one species here.

Reminds me of my own Tethys in which just about all "animals" are based from worm-like ancestors. Good job.

thank you.

added a page {"Barnacle Clams"} ...and I would've added one that I did yesterday at Library (showing exactly what the vermeterrid tails *really* are), but I had to disconnect the scanner because of company visiting.
