Basically, a fairly typical ankylosaur starts knocking down trees to get at the tasty leaves normally out of its reach, similarly to what elephants do today. Over the generations, the population's tail clubs start to flatten in order to more efficiently bring down trees, eventually becoming a horizontally flattened axe-like blade.
I don't see that being likely. If an ankylosaur was evolving to browse on higher vegetation, for whatever reason even though they were rather specialized to lower grown vegetation, they would do other things. A distant relative shows one way: the stegosaurs. Miragaia evolved a longer neck, rather then transformation their tail into an axe or whatever. This one is the most likely, probably with longer limbs and the like. The other one is simply leaning on trees to push them over. Ankylosaurs weren't lightweights, their weight could easily knock down many trees. The only thing is that this will likely causing leg injuries: which would be bad and make them more vulnerable to predators.
So if they were going to become browsers of higher growing vegetation, they would certainly follow what stegosaurs did: converge with sauropods. It might not be "wow axe tailed ankylosaur so cool and edgy (literally) it can cut the ankles off any large predators and cut raptors in half!", but it would certainly super interesting in its own regard: ankylosaurs, creatures who live low to the grow, specializing into sauropod-like forms.

swim with an up-and-down motion
Considering only the base of the tail was flexible, they wouldn't be swimming very well.

The dinosaurs also use this bladed tail to pat down soil on top of their eggs
The typical club could easily do this, if they would engage in that behaviour at all.

re: Flowering antarctic plants;
One of the major problems pointed out, in addition to all the normal hardships of arctic living, is permafrost, which makes setting down roots very difficult. Way I see it, there are two potential solutions to this problem; One, they're extremely long-lived and slow growing with a lot of energy devoted to expanding the roots. Over time, they grind away at the ice. Another, more interesting one, would be if a plant could potentially utilize some kind of chemical heating to periodically defrost the ground adjacent to its roots. Maybe it could naturally produce some kind of acidic citrus-like chemical, though I imagine that would take a lot of energy. A more interesting idea I thought of was some kind of cold-resistant bombardier beetle type. In addition to using the chemical to warm itself, it'll "donate" some to the plant, allowing it to survive the winter, and grow fruits to be eaten by the *Bombardier Beetle,.
I'm pretty sure a lot of flowering plants already exist well above the arctic circle, and survive the winters by either being perennial species or going dormant when temperatures plummet. Edit- just saw that this was referring to antarctic flowering plants. My point still stands though. I don't think flowering plants could exist on Antarctica in its current state. Way too inhospitable. There are flowering plants in Antarctica.

Projects and concepts that I have stewing around Extended Pleistocene- An alternate future where man died out, and the megafauna would continue to thrive (may or may not include a bit about certain future sapients) Inverted World- An alternate timeline where an asteroid hit during the Barremian, causing an extinction event before the Maastrichtian. Dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and notosuchians make it to the present, along with a host of other animals. Badania- Alien planet that has life at a devonian stage of development, except it exists in the present day. Ido- Alien world where hoppers (derived flightless ballonts) and mouthpart-legged beasts are prevalent. Leto- Life on a moon orbiting a gas giant with an erratic orbit; experiences extremes of hot and cold. The Park- ??? Deeper Impact- a world where the K-Pg extinction wipes out crocodilians, mammals, and birds; squamates, choristoderes, and turtles inherit the earth. World of Equal Opportunity- alternate history where denisovans come across Beringia and interact with native fauna. Much of the Pleistocene fauna survives, and the modern humans that end up crossing into North America do not overhunt the existing animals. 10,000 years later, civilizations exist that are on par with European and Asian societies. The Ditch- Nothing is what if seems..

- Coelophysoidea
- Sep 4 2016, 12:28 PM
Less a species and more a clade but I've been mapping out a broad overview of a hyper-diverse Coelophysoidea from a world with no T/J extinction. The biggest and most diverse clade consists mainly of waders and swimmers which specialize in aquatic prey. Many are miniaturized (the smallest being only about 100-120 grams) and often very flamboyantly decorated with all sorts of display structures. Some isolated island species end up super-sized by comparison, approaching 100kg. Some wading species ditch the aquatic adapations entirely and survive in grassland analogue environments. Desert species specialize in fossorial prey, using a flexible neck and an exaggerated subnarial gap to extract prey from burrows. Waterways worldwide are home to duck-like species with reduced legs and abberrant dentition that allows them to filter microorganisms from the water. Others float on the surface and dive after prey underwater rather like a cormorant.
I’ll post a simplified cladogram for this project's coelophysoids some time soon to give a general idea of their phylogeny. *wants to read more of this* looking forwards to it.

and as to Grasshopper Mice becoming otters...did their arid homes get wetter? not unheard of.

Going back to my axe-tailed ankylosaur idea, I thought of something else: why does it have to be an ankylosaur? Several nodosaurs already have spiked tails; I could see a couple of those spikes increasing in size to make a sort of cutting blade.

Lamna: Obvious typo, I'm never going to be popular in Belgium. Trex841: Interesting point. Valid counterpoint. Self-obsessed psychotic rant. Parasky: No ties. Begin genetically modifying crows until we have organisms that roughly resemble those in the competition, and then have them fight to the death to see who wins this competition. Alternatively, Cephalian and SabrWolf could fight to the death. But at the end of the day something will be fighting to the death for my amusement to determine the winner. Yellowdrakex: Is it alright to have an irrational fear of gliding snakes? They're snakes. FROM ABOVE. Kamineigh: See, you wouldn't be in this mess if you began a bloody revolution every time your leaders showed to unsatisfactory.

Komodo: I'm sorry but in what alternative universe would thousands of zebras be sent back in time by some sort of illegal time travel group to change history and preparing them by making gigantic working animatronic allosaurs? Seriously, why? Parasky: Maybe y'all should move to America, where you can flex your freedom muscles. Sir Spookums: It's a game about children catching super powered monsters, stuffing them in tiny balls, and battling other strangers' monsters. What about that makes sense in regards to anything, mister Kam? Des Orages: Yi qi. Just when you think you've seen it all, nature screws us over once more. Kaminiegh: This is clearly an inaccurate statement. I'd never challenge the authority of an admin... Unless Paraksytron stubbed his toe and fell over. THEN I, STARSCREIGHM, WILL BECOME THE NEW LEADER OF OF THE DE-SPECU-CONS! Dragon: Is normal a good word to use for describing any of us? Velociraptor: I once dreamed I was trying to steal a flamingo. The flamingo was oddly calm about the whole situation. Kaminiegh: THAT'S IT, I'M KINKSHAMING. Flashman63: In its 4,600 year history, men from all eras, places and classes have been entering into the Library: from the ancient bearded sages of Sumeria and Chaldea, to the sober-minded Academics and Zoologists of the Victorian era, to the great warlord Cletus, an inbred hillbilly who just happened to be carrying his AR-15 around his County's Strip-Mall library. OctoSharktasaurus: Well, uh, it's a pseudo-tripedal, terrestrial subcontinental Madagascan Beaked Whale... Is that not obvious? It literally says it blatantly. Holben: Did you not add lamb's blood to your fruit juice and the crushed bones of an englishman to your salsa? It's not authentic if you don't.

Parasky: Speaking of original, note to self: write erotic classical Chinese literature fan fiction Bromance of the Three Kingdoms under pseudonym Tuck Chingle. Little: Starting playing DND, took all of an hour of gameplay until a yuri love-triangle was initiated. And no, it was not my fault. Corecin: If this is your first time with a lesbian love triangle in a DnD game than you don't even have to specify that you're starting out. Octo: Oh no now Little will enlighten with the deep and complex subject that is hentai lore. Beetleboy: It shows what kind of person I am that I'm seeking crush advice on a forum about creating fictional organisms. Corecin: I am not in the mood for looking up yuri because then the FBI agent monitoring my computer will judge me with reckless abandon. Blue_Komrade: Excuse me sir I am going to have to see if you have your membership card to the Misanthrope Club. Parasky: Ultimately, by the miracle of microbiology and biochemistry, I have accidentally added an additional month to my brew and created a Bavarian style hefeweizen rather than the American style wheat beer I planned, despite technically not having the correct ingredients. However because I wrote down what I did wrong its not a mistake it's actually science. Rebirth: I can't be the only one curious about what would happen if you spayed and neutered a male antechinus before it reached sexual maturity. Ebervalius: Laws? What kind of spooky cuckery is that? Parasky: Ah see, but that's just the thing, you thought that I thought that you thought that I had said you hadn't read it, when really I had said that you had said that you thought that I thought that you hadn't read it. So really it's Flisch's fault.

Polymetamorphosis Taking the idea of metamorphosis a step so that a specie has a tree of different stages it can "choose" to morph between depending on stimulus, with the ability to reproduce in different stages. Maybe you even get a idea of one species creating its own isolated food chain, where different forms of itself cannibalise other forms.
That's exactly what tiger salamanders do. Including the reproduction part, since some populations have an axolotl- like neotenic phase. https://www.bennington.edu/sites/default/files/sources/docs/diet%20and%20cannibalistic%20morphs-salamanders.pdf

I'm thinking about a species of tiny crabs (think the size of a US penny) that burrow into large anemones as megalopa. They feed off snippets of flesh they tear off from the anemone's prey, and store their old molts in a burrow nearby. When they breed, females regurgitate acid and chew up their molts until it's a fine paste and surround their fertilized eggs with it and secrete a special chemical to reharden the chitin. After which, she places the hardened eggs into the anemone's stomach to be regurgitated and taken away by the current.
Is this feasible?

Even though he is our creator, that does not afford him the right to take our lives on a whim. But that is the thinking of a homs. He is a god. Such morals cannot apply to gods.

But Souls are delicious. They're like bacon - they taste good on anything. But if you eat them, you completely remove them from existence! They can't move on or... or be reincarnated! Huh. I never really gave it much thought. Besides, what do you mean by reincarnation anyway? You know, being reborn as someone or something else. Which means different body, different memories, different experiences, yes? So isn't being reborn as "something else" the same as being "removed from existence"? I... I... eating souls isn't right! That depends on your definition of "right". All living things survive by eating other living things. So what? You're a god. You should be above all that! Gods are above living things, which doesn't necessarily mean we care about them.

Inject their target/aggressor with some sort of chemical that has a violent reaction with the blood or just general biochemistry of said target, causing a small, yet volatile explosion. The species name could be bayii. Sounds a little over the top if it injects the chemical into its target... Why wouldn't it just use normal venom? Then again, it's easy to develop immunity to venom... But probably not so much when the 'venom' explodes and causes physical injury.
What about a creature that spews an explosive chemical that has a delayed reaction upon contact with air?

I simply suggested it would inject it since that seemed like it'd be the most simple way. But yeah, that works too.

Me  Forum user Uncanny Gemstar drew what is supposed to be a me. Thanks! Spoiler: click to toggle As they walk in, they're greeted by a small, poorly kept pathway leading to a poorly constructed Japanese-style gate. Behind this, a small field made up of corn, rice, wheat, potatoes, among other plants is contrasted by large piles of books, as well as a few rather out of place looking laptops. Off in the corner, a small woman, with long, striped, and strikingly colorful socks, no shoes, unremarkable denim shorts, a large, fancy black coat, arm warmers, glasses, a tuque, and somewhat unkempt, mid-length blue-and-pink-streaked red hair, is rummaging through a trash bin, located behind a sign saying "employees only". She continues this for a while (walking behind a wall to change her outfit now and then), until one of her visitors coughs. Startled, she looks up, apologizes, and grabs a handful of textbooks and novels before daintily running off to join them. What, you want me to tell you what these mean?

Yeah, and even if you don't agree with creationists on that concept, that doesn't mean they can't be decent people. I have friends who are creationist (possibly even young earth) that I get along with fine in general life. I don't think they're right of course, but that doesn't make them intellectual degenerates. ~~The Words of forbidden3

Even though he is our creator, that does not afford him the right to take our lives on a whim. But that is the thinking of a homs. He is a god. Such morals cannot apply to gods. So you think we should just shut up and die?! If that is the fate decided by a god. You are mistaken if you think we will simply accept such a fate and wait to die. We'll never stop fighting. Not till the end. To Zanza, the outcome is the same. Thus your logic is flawed.

But Souls are delicious. They're like bacon - they taste good on anything. But if you eat them, you completely remove them from existence! They can't move on or... or be reincarnated! Huh. I never really gave it much thought. Besides, what do you mean by reincarnation anyway? You know, being reborn as someone or something else. Which means different body, different memories, different experiences, yes? So isn't being reborn as "something else" the same as being "removed from existence"? I... I... eating souls isn't right! That depends on your definition of "right". All living things survive by eating other living things. So what? You're a god. You should be above all that! Gods are above living things, which doesn't necessarily mean we care about them.
