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.

I just realized this has some crurotarsians in it, like in TA. Whoops. Soz JF

Aetosauria - Elephant/Pig like forms
Phytosauria - Crocodiles
Prolacertiformes - Small scavengers, except for Shavopteryx descendants, and isolated large creatures
Rauisuchia - Big carnivores, and some gallimimid like forms
Rhynchosauria - Hippo like creatures
Trilophosauria - Ungulate like life forms
Younginiformes - Lizards
Avicephala - Bird like, chameleon like in some forms
Thalattosauria - Sea-lizards
Sphenosuchia - Most non volant arboreal carnivores

I'll get some work started on this soon. If anyoone would like to help, just ask.

As a side note (please answer this), quadrupeds have a much higher maximum size potential than bipeds, right?

Yes; the largest birds, for example, are much smaller than the largest sauropods

Thank you. Does this mean that Raiusuchid predators have a much higher growth potential than,say, Tyrannosaurs would, or is that down to available food biomass?

Depends. Tyrannosaurus had air sacs, but if rauisuchians developed air sacs as well them they could grow larger

They probably do. And the bubble-wrap scales that act as insulation would probably help as well.

Made a website. Please look at it. Very unfurnished, but find the Myxini page.

Always a pleasure. I'll try to include parodies of all the members, e.g JF, some kind of psychotic bat, KP, a cleaner-lizard impersonator, SSJRaptog, probably some kind of omnivorous ostrich-croc, in tribute to your Raptogs.

Any suggestions for yourself, please say so. DdG's spoof is already up.

This may take some time.

One small criticism - given that the text is in English, it should be known as "the Ddraig Coch", rather then "Y Ddraig Goch".
