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.

Interesting, but the phrase "action-adventure series" does concern me. The part about recreating some of the "original stories" also concerns me. What stories? It was a mockumentary. I fear he's talking not about the original mockumentary, but about the awful cartoon that for some reason got made years later.

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

Good or bad, I know I have to see how this ends up.

And I kind of liked that show, but this should surprise no one at this point.

But the word "documentary" was used there...

Anyway, if he's indeed talking about the cartoon (which I also kinda enjoyed), perhaps he'll manage to redeem it?

There were stories in the documentary, like the snowstalker (I always found most of the creature names in the documentary were really bad) trying to find food for her babies. The babookaries trying to survive, and the squibbons trying to survive. Oh yeah, after earth got me into spec, ;~;

I think a lot of us got our starts with the same handful of sources.

I think you guys are all missing the important question: WILL THERE BE NEW CREATURES?

In the end, the best advice I could give you would be to do your project in a way that feels natural to you, rather than trying to imitate some geek with a laptop in Colorado.

For reference, this is the same guy who was involved with the Warner Bros movie adaptation that was talked about back in 2009, so I suspect this is the same project but being moved to television instead.

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?

I hope it would have a deeper and intelligent plot less poor that was the cartoon(I know it was for kids, but come one, is dumb even for kids) if they are going to make it as a kids show again.

On the other hand, I feel that probably in the new one they could add new creatures, however, that about that they have purchased the rights maybe means they are likely to be based the show/documentary most on the original ecosystems, without creating something new (probably is just paranoia for my part, I hope for new creatures)

Even if they don't make completely new creatures I'd be fine with edits or changes to them. Especially name changes, most names were two words put together.
