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.

As you all know, my dinosaur park, Retrozoic Park, has been proudly giving the middle finger to accuracy for several months now. However, I wish to hear the requests of you, the viewers, for what you want to see next. I also wanted to tell of some upcoming additions to the park.

Coming Soon:
-Generic Prehistoric Animals
-Prototypes: modified modern animals that were created to simulate various extinct species (Chickenosaurs, mammoth-elephants, etc.)
-An aviary
-Some of the Jurassic World hybrids

Creatures that I want to create, but I have no idea what DNA would be needed for them:
-David Peters' pterosaurs
-Dougal Dixon's speculative dinosaurs
-Nightmare Quetzalcoatlus: http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/tetrapod-zoology/quetzalcoatlus-the-evil-pin-headed-toothy-nightmare-monster-that-wants-to-eat-your-soul/
-Slurpasaurs
-Kaiju, especially ones from Ultraman

So, what ideas do you guys have? What inaccurate creatures do you want in the park?

Peteresque pteranodon(Ambulodactylus ornatus)- lizard, pteranodon, hadrosaurs, (any)theropod
Peteresque Jeholopterus(Cacopterus infernalis)- angler, anurognathid, theropod, lizard

Just a suggestion

How about dinosaurs that look suspiciously like iguanas with sail fins?

Yes, or a large, horned Monitor Lizard. Any kind of Slurpasaur would be a nice touch.

At the present time, concepts within are inconsistent and ever shifting.

The outdated reconstruction of Megarachne.
Projects
Punga: A terraformed world with no vertebrates
Last one crawling: The last arthropod

ARTH-6810: A world without vertebrates (It's ded, but you can still read I guess)

Potential ideas-
Swamp world: A world covered in lakes, with the largest being caspian sized.
Nematozoic: After a mass extinction of ultimate proportions, a single species of nematode is the only surviving animal.
Tri-devonian: A devonian like ecosystem with holocene species on three different continents.
