| 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!

"They do sometimes eat meat, but until now it was thought that they only obtained it by opportunistic scavenging." If you call killing and eating kittens 'opportunistic scavenging'. |

I'm intrigued by one of the concepts in the article, the "island of fear effect", where predators, through the use of intimidation of prey, change ecosystems. |

Umm, not to be rude, but we are talking about the species known as the coconut crab, not recipes which include crab and coconuts. |
