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.

First off, Beefy Boy is a slang tern for sauropod in case your wondering.

An early trend towards gigantism in Triassic sauropodomorph dinosaurs

There is a new species of basal sauropodomorph discovered called Ingentia prima, or First Titan. What makes this species unique is that Ingentia reaches sizes unexpected for a sauropodomorph, around ten meters long maximum, being native to the Rhaetian, meaning dinosaurs reached bigger sizes then expected at the time.

They actually find its clade (the newly coined Lessemsauridae) to be the most basal members of the Sauropoda, as opposed to merely advanced prosauropods. Anyways, I rejoice that for once we get a dinosaur name that's not just a reference to either a location or a person. A few this year like Sibirotitan avoided using the species name for it, but this one just says "hey what if we just give it a cool fitting name".
totally not British, b-baka!

I don't even really like this song that much but the title is pretty relatable sometimes, I guess.
