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.

Animals outside the islands

Are we allowed to make animals which may be found outside the Anisian islands as well?
I wanted to make my fishing bludgeon found on the Heard and McDonald Islands, which were not discovered until 1883 and have no population. The closest inhabited places being (in this canon, Telu sitting on top of the Kerguelen) the Crozet Islands (with a population of 30 in summer) and the Île d'Amsterdam with a population of 25. The Heard and McDonalds islands are more than 3500 kilometres away from the nearest continents, Africa and Australia.

If you aren't allowed, then I'd probably have some of my stuff rejected by now. I have a few species that have been found on the closest island I could find to the location of the archipelago (Île Amsterdam, the coordinates of the archipelago were posted a while back, and through Google Earth, I was able to find it as the closest island to the archipelago). Just do it within reason, I.E nearby islands, or individuals being accidentally blown to nearby regions. Or you could go the invasive route later on.

Île Amsterdam is the closest, given the Kerguelen don't exist here.

Did the coordinates change? I thought it was a bit closer to Ile Amsterdam than the Kerguelen. I think we may need a new map depicting the larger version outlaid on the world,, if the archipelago got big enough to overlap the kerguelen.

I see no problem in it. I'd be surprised if fishing bludgeons weren't vagrants on nearby islands.
totally not British, b-baka!

I don't even really like this song that much but the title is pretty relatable sometimes, I guess.
