I LOVE SPECULATIVE BIOLOGY

Let's all devwatch Abiogenesis. (blog has scientists popping up in the comments to give critiques, oh my god)

Specworld -- Whatever killed the dinosaurs never happened! Dinosaurs! Everywhere!

Snaiad -- Completely alien, crazy muscle system, awesome illos, whales with water-jet butts.

Eobasileus -- Posts from early

I heard about that today too! The 10th grade biology geek in me totally punched the air. I wonder why it only grew one leg, though, if a gene was activating or failing to activate or whatever, you'd think it'd have more! So excited to hear the results of the autopsy they do on it. :D

Rhinogradentia are the best the best the best the best look at them they are so silly.

Oh wow, I'd never heard of that before! Thanks for the link! I love made-up obscure science stuff like this. Silly is right! :B

If you find Rhinogradentians rad, then check this blog post (and the one after it) !

Tetrapodzoology is the best blog (about tetrapods).

The English translation (original is German), and some additions from Russian sources.

With best wishes,

This deviantart guy is doing another speculative-evolution thing involving 'what if the dinosaurs (or at least some of them) didn't get extinct' http://povorot.deviantart.com/

Not as exciting as Specworld, but it has intelligent troodon descendants and weird mammals, amongst other things. Plus excellent art in general.

Oh neat! It's so fun finding these little gems hidden on DA -- Thanks for the link!

Povorot's works

[magnumt]

Hi! I'm Pavel Volkov, the creator of Neocene - Russian spec-biology project.
Here http://www.sivatherium.narod.ru/englver.htm there are some pages translated into English. I'd like to contact to this artist, because some of his works are very-very similar to my own ideas and ideas of my forum members (for example, Megatapirids are similar to my idea of shurga - the Siberian mastodon-like descendant of boar).
So, who can help me to contact him?

Hi Pavel! I'm sorry I can't tell you how to contact the Povorot deviantart artist other than the contact details he has on the site and this blog http://www.robotblood.com/
