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.

Just kidding, just some flying volaticothere justification:

Though, I remember some random hater comparing the flying volaticothere concept to Kenneth Opel's cloud-cats... because they're also flying carnivores non-bat mammals? I'm just as confused.

"Hater?" The only person I know who ever compared the cloud cats to volaticotheres was me, and that was more because of their life cycle than anything else. That's because volaticotheres, like other non-placental mammals, were presumably born underdeveloped, so flying volaticotheres would have to carry their sound with them until they were old enough to fly, which would explain why they are said to give birth in the air.

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.

There was someone else who said Kenneth Opel would even sue me, lol. Pity I forgot who it was.
