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.

Paleox is A solar system with 3 planets with life in it. The first is Carbornifus Populated by Carbiniforus and Permian lifeforms.
The second is Saurion IV A planet populated by Dinosaurus and other mesizoic creatures.
The third is Quatenex Terror birds, mammoths, and , megalania! From early Eocene to the last ice age!

Any info you want to know about the planets?

how is it possible? Not all of them could possibly fit in the "Habitable Zone."

Doesn't this belong in the Alternative Evolution section?
Was your nose discovered or invented?

No, it is technically a combo of all three fields of speculative biology. Since its a bit of a paradoxical one, I'll leave it here. :lol:

sounds like it'd be a frighteningly short-lived sun.

What are you talking about? Venus, Earth, and Mars all fit in our star's habitable zone.
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

That's actually an old chart. Venus and Mars are both in it as well. Terran life could comfortably live on both worlds; which both once had liquid water and an atmosphere. Mars lost its magnetic field and Venus had a run away greenhouse effect brought on by volcanic activity.

Yeah, the habitable zone is very hard to define because there are many factor that include the planet as well.
