>>5109884I think that's the most colorful fur i've seen on an animal
>>5108058are those rare?I thought they were semi-common
>>5109884>saar do not redeem the nuts

>>5109883You say that as having lungs in your dick is somehow normal.
Im not sure if many people know this but the Persian gulf is home to one of the largest populations of endangered whale shark on earth and if this war continues it's very likely that their population could just completely flatline
>>5108998The amount of hazardous chemicals, fuel, and oil that will be entering the marine ecosystem is substantial, along with potential escalation of naval mining efforts and the resultant de-mining operations
>>5108998The noise can also disrupt their mating rituals which can lead to a population decline
>>5108890I like whale sharksthey are chill
fddcici
Why did you have to make it political? I just want dead Persians.
What the actual fuck how are people this fucking stupid

What would it take for plants to learn to walk?
>>5111813not being plants anymore
>>5111813Probably legs
>>5111813they would probably need to become heterotrophic or at the very least have both heterotrophic and autotrophic traits so that they can sustain the energy needed to moveplants already have a kind of rudimentary nervous system like the simplest animals, and most animals walk, do I think it would become easier from there
Kudzu is almost there.
One time I was talking to my mom on the phone after I began living on my own at 20. We left off at shaky terms and didn't speak as regularly anymore. I kinda started to break down into tears because it felt like there were words I wanted to say or things I wanted to express, but I couldn't. Then Tobi leaped up onto the couch and crawled into my arms and lap. I miss him so much.

>Fur seals (actually sea lions) are sometimes spotted raping penguinsHow common is this for animals? Using animals smaller than you and of a different species to relieve your own sexual frustration
>>5106018Disagree, it's a fun topic
>>5094346they like to sit in the cuck chair, it's Aryan
>>5055941the seal looks really passionate

Pet was never mourned as you,Purrer of the spotless hue,Plumy tail, and wistful gazeWhile you humoured our queer ways,Or outshrilled your morning callUp the stairs and through the hall -Foot suspended in its fall -While, expectant, you would standArched, to meet the stroking hand;Till your way you chose to wendYonder, to your tragic end.
I couldn't handle that man, I would have to die tragically before my cat does
>>5108938How did the cat die if the man was awake and made it out?Did the retarded fuck just say fuck it and run without even grabbing the cat?
Hm.
>>5109016Fuck you chud

It's a multimedia sci-fi genre that harnesses scientific principles to create detailed and plausible hypothetical creatures, ecosystems, and evolutionary histories.RESOURCES:https://speculativeevolution.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Tutorial>One-stop shop for relevant background information for starting a projecthttp://planetfuraha.blogspot.com/>Fantastic blog covering all sorts of spec evo topics in-depthhttps://specevo.jcink.net/Comment too long.

Rhinoailurus amurensis, a newly discovered Early Oligocene felid from the Russian Far East that may reshape understanding of early cat evolution. Unearthed in 2023 from the Bureya River formation, the fossil includes a well-preserved skull and partial skeleton. While similar in size to a modern bobcat, the animal’s most striking feature is its highly developed nasal structure, unlike anything previously seen in related carnivores, immediately drawing scientific attention.Anatomically, Rhinoailurus was a capable carnivore with strong jaws, sharp teeth, and a body suited for agile movement, but its defining trait was its extraordinary sense of smell. Its nasal cavity was vastly enlarged and complex, suggesting an olfactory ability far surpassing that of modern animals—even exceeding that of a bloodhound. This implies it was a scent-specialist predator, likely relying on smell rather than speed or vision to locate prey and navigate its environment.Its evolutionary position remains debated. Some analyses place it as a sister taxon to Proailurus, an ancestor of modern cats, while others argue it belongs to a farther separate, extinct feliform lineage. Regardless, Rhinoailurus lived in a mixed woodland-savanna ecosystem during a time of climatic change, where its advanced olfactory abilities would have been advantageous. Ongoing research aims to clarify its classification and further explore its sensory adaptations, with hopes that additional fossils will shed more light on this unusual predator’s place in evolutionary history.

Biogeographically, the current continents do not allow for as much variation as would be possible; Eurasia is very vast and located at relatively high latitudes. Imagine if the continents were more fragmented, with more islands, and if most of it were concentrated in the tropics. We would have an even richer global flora and fauna.
>>5111714Floating islands would work. Rafts of nitrogen fixing reeds would provide shelter for seagoing and castaway animals without changing ocean currents.

What is a lesser known speculative biology book you all would recommend? Everyone knows Man After Man and All Tomorrows.
>>5110022Wayne Barlowe's expedition. His hell themed books are kind of in a similar vein of just really vivid paintings not so much about the wildlife of hell but some is mentioned.
>>5110022This french book, don't know if it was translated in english.

These guys were my favorite when I was 13. People usually say they look scary or angry but they don't come off as that way to me, they're just adorable oversized children in my eyes
>>5104807Looked like a punk-rock penguin from the thumbnail.
Have you ever been sprayed by a skunk?
>>5105949how do I acquire the odorous chemical prowess of a skunk? asking for a friend
>>5106578Reminder 99% of our medicines and invented chemicals come from nature and are isolated, not synthesized.
>>5105949No i wish.
>be me >walking home late one night>take shortcut through alleyway>a wild skunk appears >motherfucker jumped out from behind a trash can> we both freeze for a couple seconds>skunk hisses does these adorable little hops that I think are meant to scare me>I get ready to run as the skunk starts to turn>I bolt before the spray but look back to see it chasing me>follows me at least fifty or so feet down the alley
I genuinely like the smell of skunk spray, although I've never smelled a direct hit
>and if it has taught us anything it's this:>NO SPECIES lasts forever.
>>5111683>n-no u!Lol
>>5111681>>5111683Nazi here, you're both retards and probably gay as well.
>>5111683Yeah, they do that shit all the time

become ungovernable
>>5111424And they didnt get that way by being democratic
>>5111228and yet you live in a democracy and reap all its benefits. curious!
>>5111695I’m chinese. I was paid 50c for that post. What were YOU paid for your post, democratic man? What were you paid for your votes, based on what capitalist oligarch promise? I’m sure now you have problem because you think capitalist means free market and communist means fascist russia kekeke… look at china market and tell me it is not free. We have fewer regulation than you. In china, a man just needs a shovel and a septic tank to start a business. Not even trucks. We can pull our cargo with dog sleds. Better for the environment! Lunch on the go too!
