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.

Well in that case your friend didn't read Witton's paper thoroughly enough clearly. Not that it surprises me.

A lot of casual internet people just read a headline and think 'ye dis mens muh badass kaiju wuz real" with regards to the whole scales thing. Trey the Explainer talks really well about this phenomenon and what it means in his video.

My friend uses Mark witton's article as proof of Tyrannosaurus being exactly like the lizard like childhood monster and He says all kinds of stuff like how Yutyrannus is there for Me despite Yutyrannus not being the most popular dinosaur ever Tyrannosaurus is the most famous dinosaur
Yutyrannus is certainly great, isn't it? All fluffy and fuzzy and stuff. Just like Nanuqsaurus. It's great how we can draw comparisons between all these dinosaurs to judge the mostly likely scenario for a tyrannosaurid dinosaur.

But I thought Trey the explainer's video on this matter was nothing but complete Ogre crap and the idea of Tyrannosaurus being a fluffy feathered dinosaur is as impossible as Mario being secretly a woman

Let it be noted that the amount of Mario's speech affirming their self-identification as part of the male gender is as scarce as your replies to people who are unlikely to ragesplode. :Sam:

I'm confused. Are you actually saying that Mario is secretly woman?

All things must be left open for argument, especially when related to an absurd comparison between a legitimate thing (e.g the status of tyrannosaur integument) and an unlikely thing (e.g Mario being of the female gender).

I see. Apologies if that sounded transphobic to anyone. That wasn't my intent.

There is no need to apologise, I am totally of normal behaviour.
