Speculative evolution animals

The Age of the Metamorph Bird Clade Metamorphaves ~~~ The world of the Ultimocene is dominated by strange and wild creatures, many of them utterly alien compared to their introduced ancestors, but of all the planet's abundant life possibly no creatures are more derived than the changelings, or

Systematic: Aves (Bird), Sphenisciformes (group of Southern Hemisphere seabirds) sphéniscidé (Penguin Group and penguins), Neopygoscelis. Etymology: from the Greek "neo" new and "pygoscelis" name of the kind of penguin. The name "dentate" refers to the toothed beak of the species. Cousins ​​of the 21st century: The penguin Adelie, Pygoscelis adeliae. Excellent diver, this is the most abundant penguins. We pushed to the "extreme" its marine lifestyle imagining a half-armed and half-body...

Description You may notice that my original post regarding the “spadetail” platypus have been rendered outdated. The reason why is simple; I like to retcon things, and my vision for species often changes. As such, I felt that the signature “spade tails” of my predatory platypi just didn’t mesh with the behavior and body shape of the animal; being fast, agile pursuit predators, having a flat tail like that of a manatee or beaver just didn’t seem to fit with their morphology. I will, however…

The Plunger, Pinala fusiforme, is a flightless, partly bipedal, semiaquatic, chinstrap penguin-like pterodactyloid pterosaur from the shorelines of the islands near Antarctica, in The New Dinosaurs: An Alternative Evolution. A windswept chain of rocky islands rises above the green and white swell of the Antarctic waters. On the rock pinnacles, above the height at which waves surge and break, lie a number of glossy shapes, basking in the distant watery sun. These black and white creatures…

Satoshi Kawasaki is a Japanese illustrator, author, or both. Normally I try to get the facts correct, but in this case I am forced to rely on Google's translation services. While these allow us all to sample texts that would otherwise remain closed, the results are not necessarily reliable. For those who do not now how to operate the Google translation service, simply go the main Google page, and there should be something called 'language aids' or similar just to the right of the search…

ArtStation - Creature Design: Evolution III

Some quick stuff from earlier this year. Every time I'm playing around with the Kanerodoptrix, a new subspecies comes out at the other end. ;-) The Arithan Desert Kanerodoptrix evolved after Kanerodoptrixes returned to the surface. Their eyes still don't play a big role, but their senses of smell, taste and hearing still do (obviously). The male's colors are taken from Lost World velociraptors while the female's comes from a miscolored Lion King artwork I had as a kid.

The Megasquid is a large, omnivorous terasquid from the Northern Forest of 200 million AD in the documentary The Future is Wild. It is the biggest of the Terasquids, as well as the biggest land animal of the time. Larger and more massive than any Human-era land animal at 16.375 feet (5 meters) high and 8.8125 tons (8 tonnes) in weight, a Megasquid can be seen pushing its way through the soaking vegetation, splintering conifer trunks and pulping the branches of lichen trees as it goes. Air...
