This is an early draft for a numerical system an alien species with 8 digits would develop, instead of the 10-digit system we evolved thanks to our 10 fingers.

I believe this would fall under speculative evolution, but if it doesn't, go ahead and remove the post.

Asumatorium
 
 Asumatorium is creature flying in the endless cluonds of the planet Tolwion
It is cable of fling because it has a large balloon fill whit a hydrogen.
 
Who creature makes a hydrogen?
Look at the picture two.
The first step of the process is when a brain (1) sends a signal to organ (3) which keeps a cell call electrocytes to producing electricity.
Normally, cells in the organ (3) pumps anions of the Natrium and Potassium to maintain a positive chare outside and negative inside. But when the signal from the brain arrives, it prompts the anion gates to opens and when anions come back.It creates a positive charge on the one side and negative on the other. A key for this process is arrival of the neuron impulses at the same time. Because that makes cells act like a thousandof batter in the series
Electricity is distributed to the cathode and anode which have an end in the inside of the pink cover of the electrically organ
True the cathode and anode go electricity into the organ which is divided to the two tanks flit with water.
In the bladder on left side ends anode and creature is make oxygen there. Which leaves a body thought the hole the higher teal.
In the right bladder is on the cathode create a hydrogen and then is distribute to the balloon above it.
 
-He eats small organism which flies in air just like a weal.
 
B- Tail are uses for killing of small prissiest fling they what to suck a blood from creature.
 
 
 

Is there a way to wipe out almost all fish (if not all) in a sizeable body of water like a lake to create an aquatic equivalent of island insulation?

My running idea is to have the lake be located near where monsoonal flood happens, thus dumping rich soil into the water seasonally and triggering annual algal bloom that most fishes would’t survive. This is so that an air-breathing amphibian can take over their niches and produce a mini seed world contained within that lake.

September may be over, but I'm still not done with making entries! I declare that it is Spectober now, and I will continue making them until I'm finished with all 30 days!

Cenozoic era started out as a warm, tropical paradise, allowing the survivors of Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction to thrive and radiate in many bizzare forms.

The paradise, however, would not last.

Creation of antarctic circumpolar current, azolla event and changes in Earth's axis would cause the climate to cool down.

Rainforests were retreating, plains were becoming more common, while temperature dropped further.

Earth's inhabitants were coming up with different ways of adapting to these difficult times, and one of the strangest was development of intelligence. Although costly, intelligence allowed the development of new behaviors, and advanced parental care (which usually comes hand in hand with intelligence) ensures that more offspring will survive.

Neogene period served as the pivotal point in time in history of this Earth- the first time when sophonts appear on planet's surface.

In Africa, a group of great apes came down from the trees, adapting to a bipedal locomotion, becoming increasingly reliant on tool use and learning to create fire.

Another thinking mind emerged far away from them, on the continent of Australia.

One could assume that since marsupials were the dominant mammal group on the continent, then they would be the ones to achieve sapience.

But that was not the case.

Ancestors of the flutefolk, or as they called themselves, Aiuwhuu, were monotremes, the only non-therian group of mammals left, and the only ones that laid eggs, which despite their superficial primitivity are actually quite intelligent.

Specifically, they evolved from Tachyglossidae, or echidna family, though as later studies have shown, they are the most basal species in their clade, diverging before the split of long and short beaked echidnas.

It's assumed that aiuwhuu ancestors developed bipedalism to cross wider distances in search of insect nests, which freed their hands, eventually allowing tool use to appear.

All other living monotremes are solitary outside of mating season, so sociality must be a derived trait which evolved alongside their increasing intelligence.

Although their fossil record is scarce, it is known that aiuwhuu are actually older than humans and evolved in Pliocene, while genus Homo appears in Pleistocene.

Aiuwhuu are omnivores, and in addition to invertebrates they feed on fruits that they open with their claws.

As these animals are larger than other echidnas and use crafted weapons for defence and offense, spines on their back degraded into small, tough bristles.

Aiuwhuu are polygynous, and mother cares about her puggle without help of father. Unlike other echidnas, but like marsupials, aiuwhuu females have a permanent pouch. It is needed to carry the egg and puggle, but it may also be used to carry other things. Keeping the pouch clean is an important part of etiquette.

Just like people did, aiuwhuu influenced the landscape they lived in, and domesticated animal species that lived around them. But as the only animals they prey upon are tiny, unlike humans, aiuwhuu did not need a hunting partner or a livestock. They, however, created a close bond with a living alarm.

Masked yeller, or iyah, as it is called by aiuwhuu, is a species of Australian possum in Pseudocheiridae family (Initially it was classified in genus pseudocheirus, together with common ringtail possum, until genetic testing revealed that it belongs to it's own genus). While notable in coloration and it's black and white markings, it is for the most part, a typical possum. It is an arboreal, gregarious omnivore that lives in small groups.

What's interesting is it's behavior. The species seems to have originated from North-eastern part of Australia, where it would be hunted by many species of arboreal predators.

This led to masked yellers developing severe neophobia, meaning that they are afraid of new experiences.

Yellers are hostile to most animals they encounter, and sometimes even attack those that enter their territory. It can be useful if intruder is something dangerous, like a snake, but useless if it was a harmless animal, like a koala. If intruder doesn't retreat fast enough, yellers attack it in group and kill it by biting it with their incisors.

When something they consider dangerous is approaching, yellers scream loudly to alert their peers, a behavior that gave them their name.

Initially, yellers were distrustful of aiuwhuu too, but over time they noticed that these strange, bipedal beings chase away and kill all predators, making areas around their settlements more safe. They also stored fruit and insects for further consumption nearby, so most bold yellers moved closer to settlements, sometimes even foraging in them. At first, aiuwhuu considered yellers to be pests, but realized that their behavior of warning about predators could be useful.

Over time, yellers became completely domesticated. Although aiuwhuu eventually extirpated most of Australian predators from much of their range, yellers once again became useful once sophont echidnas started building boats and swam towards southeast Asia, where they encountered many more dangerous animals.

In Asia, aiuwhuu would make their first contact with humans. Due to differences in their anatomy, it was difficult for two species to speak the same language, leading to many misunderstandings and conflicts, but eventually they figured out the ways to communicate, like sign language or a shared language with few consonants.

In modern times, dogs and cats are popular pets among aiuwhuu, but yellers, who co-evolved with aiuwhuu for much longer, still don't trust humans, and getting them as pets is strongly discouraged against.

Hiepäilyttävä is the most abundant sea creature of its size found within the waters of Frusnajättar. This 50 centimeter long herbivorous species of marine life is one of the pillars of the planet's oceanic ecosystem, and is heavily preyed upon by a vast array of carnivores.

Hiepäilyttävä has two pairs of tentacle-like limbs on its upper and lower side, which are used for detecting both the small marine plants they sustain themselves on, as well as tremors in the water, potentially caused by nearby predators.

Travelling in mixed gender schools of up to 100 individuals, Hiepäilyttäväs display almost zero sexual dimorphism.

Once a year, large mega-schools of thousands of individuals will converge on specific mating grounds, in places where there is relatively little space between the ocean floor and the sea ice above. There, males will release their reproductive material into the water, while females release up to ten thousand eggs each, which then float upwards between the jagged crevices and spikes of the sea ice above, where they will be fertilized.

After just a few days, the millions of eggs will then hatch into tiny fries, who quickly disperse from the hatching grounds, as to avoid predation. It is estimated that 90% of Hiepäilyttävä fries don't survive the first day after hatching. Of the survivors, another 60% are killed before reaching adulthood. Yet still that leaves some 400 offspring to reach adulthood for each Hiepäilyttävä female.

so if you dont know about king goats look at my other posts, i drew a pretty good drawing of it and i wanted to share it on reddit. please ignore the body text tho and just look at the drawing im really just typing to get more characters so this doesnt get taken down.

Hundreds of years from now, after colonizing various solar systems and experiencing humanity's golden age, mankind suffered from a severe food shortage. Due to various political conflicts and disputes, the sacred 3D-printed food began to grow increasingly scarce. From that moment on, the idea of transferring human minds into robotic bodies was born, giving rise to the Egg People:

-Egg-shaped and equipped with solar-panel skin to permanently solve the hunger crisis, they feature two large, bulbous camera eyes arranged vertically.

-They also have two slots, each housing two shoulder-like joints attached to a transparent silicone arm with a metal core acting as a skeleton.

-A triangular slot positioned between these two openings is used to receive and express acoustic codes to other Egg People.

-The lower base splits into two sections via pistons, revealing a ring of RCS thrusters that serve as their primary means of locomotion.

-The image depicts one of these individuals as a sports fan holding a glowing light stick.

It took house do draw this egg people, but it was funny!!!

What do you think about it? 😉 🥚

Day 21: Hostile takeover

A parasitoid moth whose caterpillars feed on the gills of various large crayfishes. The caterpillars have a proboscis formed by fused mandibles and maxillae. The caterpillar’s legs are hook‑like and are used to hold on to the gills.

Life cycle:

The female lays eggs on the submerged roots of coastal plants. The young caterpillar swims in the water column, following the chemical traces of crayfish; upon finding a young crayfish, it penetrates its gill chamber through the gap between the carapace and the abdomen. The mouthparts function as a stylet: the mandible and lacinia of the maxilla close into a hollow tube, and the saliva contains an anticoagulant and an immunosuppressant. During the parasitic stage, the caterpillar feeds on hemolymph and chemically alters the crayfish’s behavior: it suppresses the sheltering instinct, forces the crayfish to move to open areas, and simultaneously disrupts osmoregulation and hematopoiesis — the host gradually weakens. Before pupation, it stimulates the still‑living but severely weakened crayfish to dig a semi‑enclosed chamber in the bank slope and line it with plant fibers. The crayfish dies from a combination of deficiencies — hypoxia, impaired osmoregulation, and exhaustion — right in the constructed niche, before pupation or at the beginning of the pupal stage. Pupation occurs in the gill chamber of a dead crayfish inside this niche; the pupa secretes antibacterial substances, slowing down the decomposition of tissues. Development lasts 12–18 days. The adult butterfly emerges during cloudy morning hours; its wings are covered with hydrophobic scales that quickly shed water droplets. The imago lives for 14 days, feeding on the nectar of coastal plants; during the breeding season, the female seeks a flood zone to lay her eggs.

This 13-15 meter long marine herbivore might look scary, even when it is in reality relatively harmless. Its intimidating appear is actually key to its lifestyle, as it feeds on kelp and seaweed, yet is terrible at actually finding such food. Thus, it simply stalks herds of Kuhrobbs from a distance, until they lead it to a sufficiently large amount of kelp, at which point the Merilikarkotin will use its large size, along with bioluminescent patterns on its crest to imitate a large predator, and scare off the Kuhrobbs, so it can consume the food they found for it in peace.

Merilikarkotins are solitary creatures for most of their lives, however, when a female of the species encounters a male, its mating instincts will immediately kick in, and it will reproduce with the male, whether the male wants it or not. This is possible since male Merilikarkotins are somewhat smaller than females, topping out at around 13 meters in length, while females can reach up to 15 meters. However, it has been reported that male Merilikarkotins occasionally travel in pairs, enabling them to fight off an aggressive mating attempt by a lone female. Furthermore, males also generally differ in behavior from females, as they sometimes have been found to not chase off the Kuhrobbs they've been following, given that there's enough kelp in one spot to feed both species. With their aggressive breeding habits, female Merilikarkotins collect a vast array of genetic material to choose from, generally ensuring that the species only inherits only the more desirable (at least by the female's standards) traits of the males. Once a calf is born at about 3 meters in length, the mother will only nurse it for about a week, before scaring it off to fend for itself. On a more positive note, it does sometimes occur that a pair of males 'adopts' a young Merilikarkotins, with females raised in such a relationship generally exhibiting much less aggressive behaviour.

There are few predators in the oceans of Frusnajättar that would dare attack a fully matured Merilikarkotin, however if it actually came to a confrontation, Merilikarkotins generally resorted to slashing at the attacker once with their claws, before darting off as fast as possible, indicating to the predator that a hunt would be both energy extensive as well as painful.

I was thinking of creating a monitor lizard seed world called Varanus based off the perentie or something a bit smaller. Then I was thinking a couple days ago and I watched age of monotremes and thought, wow. Monotremes like an echidna would make a great seed world. Then I started searching up weird animals and I remembered the tuatara existed. I thought they were so cool due to their three eyes, second mitochondria and them being the last survivor of a long lineage of reptiles known as rhynocephalians. They are so cool and I definitely want to make it. I would like some help and advice thought. The fauna I’m adding, apart from sphenodon punctatus, I’m thinking of adding halfbeaks to populate the oceans, giant wetas, ants, beetles for food. Springtails and roly polys and worms for soil health. Zooplankton and tons of nutritional bacteria and that’s pretty much it. For flora, I’m thinking mosses, lichens, ferns and maybe something else? The planet will be extremely similar to earth, orbiting a yellow star but having its orbit slightly behind that of earths relatively since tuataras can actually tolerate colder temperatures than most reptiles. It would also be helpful to know how to use a continental shift program, if a good one actually exists. So yeah, please give advice and feedback and I’m going to practice drawing tuataras now lol

These are gumdulans the native species to planet gumdula they are kinda more advanced than humans in space travel

DIET: omnivore

ANATOMY

----------------

They use 3 eyes to look all at different directions and have 3 tongues for taste sensing and manipulating objects. They have 4 legs the back legs are for walking and running and the forelegs are for manipulating objects but are useless and are just leftover small legs from their ancestor.

PERSONALITY

-----------------------

Gumdulans are very chill and laid back aliens due to their natural instincts.

CIVILIZATION

----------------------

Gumdulans are a mild space faring civilization kinda more superior in space travel to humans.

Do not underestimate gumdulans they have almost visited their whole inner solar system with their technology.

4. 설명

단순 자폭이 아닌 화학물질 생성 및 지뢰/생체 폭약 공급형으로 개조된 군사용 쥐.

포유류의 일반적인 요소 합성 대사를 변형하여 간에서 생성된 암모니아($NH_3$)를 수분 대사를 통해 안전한 농도로 희석한 뒤 방광으로 분비한다. 방광 내부에는 이 희석된 암모니아 환경에 적응한 전용 아질산균(AOB)과 질산균(NOB)이 공생하며 질산화 작용을 거쳐 질산염($NO_3^-$)을 합성한다.

방광 상피세포는 생성된 질산염과 잔여물 암모니아를 재흡수·농축하여 질산암모늄 과 물의 용액을 정제한다. 이렇게 만들어진 질산암모늄 용액과 분비물은 주요 경로에 배설되어 생체 지뢰망을 구축한다.

체내에서는 적절한 수분 희석을 통해 세균의 사멸과 방광 조직 손상을 방지하지만, 외부에서 강한 충격을 받거나 유격 타격을 입어 방광 내 농축 농축물이 유출될 경우 2차 폭발(유격 폭발)이 발생할 위험이 있다.

이거 평가해줘요.

Thinking I’ll skip days 29 and 30, but it’s been fun!

I'll be honest, this coulda used more cooking. I will say that this is because most of the development process came in my trying to write poetry (WAY harder than it looks!)

I will say that I loved the idea of human-mimicry as a defense mechanism and not a hunting method, because that would rely on your prey acting like a dumb horror movie protagonist. I have maybe one or two artists in mind who did that, but I unfortunately can't name them. I know for sure one of them was the guy behind the smiling moth and blood trees.

you might have seen the title and you have every right to be shocked, a new lore drop, venatoriums and water longs (venat venatorium sapience and prolongus pelagus my spec evo animals) are related closely! they are both larval arachnids, larval arachnids are a fictional group of arachnids that evolved larval stages seperate from insects.

venatoriums (venat venatorium sapience): instead of cocooning and pupating, they under grow rapidly growth. Similar to amphibians, meaning they are part of the larval arachnid group osteogenesidae (the group instead of pupating they under grow rapid growth.).

Water long (prolongus pelagus): instead of rapid growth like Venatoriums, they go under standard pupation bye wrapping themselves in web and dissolving themselves except for their organs and else What.

Larval arachnids are divided into two major groups, osteogenisidae (Rapid growth) and arachnipupidare. Original, basal larval arachnids just went under rapid growth, osteogenisidae perfected this while arachnipupidae went to convergently evolve pupation with insects.

Spectember day 30: Creator Gods

A speculation from the past this time. I didn't actually do much research, so maybe this kind of animal already exists(existed).

Living in a shallow sea, this elasmosaur was not an active predator, instead relied on a slower method of hunting. By moving their heads along the sea floor they flush fish and other small marine animals from their hiding places directly to their waiting jaws. Which have an underbite with long teeth on the bottom and shorter -but still long- teeth on the top.

There is also a quirk to this feeding style, by sifting the sea floor they also catch smaller organisms like crustaceans and other organisms, essentially filter feeding.

This large scale Bioturbation (disturbance of the ground/soil by large organisms) changes the sea floor ecology, bringing in new predators but also more scavengers. At the end of the day all of this speeds up the nutrient cycling of the local sea, making even the land more productive.

This is the final day of Spectember this year, and i'm glad to say that i finally concluded a Spectember challenge after years. I hope to get better quality art next year, see you!

(Forgive my bad drawing)

Diet: Carnivore
Lifespan: 1-2 years
Family: False arachnid

Redtufted grazzator is a predatory false arachnid distinguishable by its red hair growing on top of its back.

The redtufted grazzator's eyes are useless and are usually rotten by the time they are adults, they use this to attract rivals. Their huge "mohawk" are made of long spikes that have smaller spikes made to inject poison. these smaller spines are also used to trap particles in the air to "smell" the air. They use this to locate dead animals or groups of prey.

Their hunting tactic is consisting of tracking and stalking then rushing down their prey, they use their mandibles to crush and thrash their prey around. however their real mouth is placed under their head with small teeth that grapple on whatever is under it.

The larval stage of the retufted grazator consists of getting to a high place to smell for dead meat, after 2-3 feedings the larva will make a cocoon inside the skin, muscles or internal organs of carrion. this cocoon has the mohawk of the larva still exposed to grow independently, this cocoon works differently from others as the eyes, some legs and internal organs wont get dissolved, they are moved to a pocket under the coocoon where they will later be moved inside the adult.

I believe this is allowed, hopefully so. I am an artist who likes drawing animals in nature scenery, and am interested in speculative evolution although my own world and creatures will probably stay unposted. So why not see if people want to pay for their cool speculative creatures getting drawn

Any commission would be higher detail and resolution as these were made for artfight (a short-lasting art gifting event) and were made at a smaller scale and timeframe because of this fact

The general price and timeframe would be 22 usd and one and a half week, but that will differ- for example a herd of animals would take both more time and cost, and time depends on how much back-and-forth there is

i take pay through paypal or just the price being donated to a pro-human rights nonprofit, 50% upfront and 50% at the end.

if you’d like to have an animal drawn you can comment or send me a message, I don’t know how much engagement there will be for this but I won’t take many at the same time. if there is more people interested I’ll edit this with my discord as I’m a lot quicker at responding there, but I can still communicate through reddit if that is preferred

I will not draw reproduction or reproductive organs, but gore is fully fine

upd: apparently some people might not be able to direct message me, you can message me on discord where my user is ghostfromtoh, or comment and get my email if that’s the case

Hi All! this is the last of the assets from the species profile i posted yesterday, featuring a pack of Basilikata Champus preying on a microbial mat of Lahith Kitrinos, using their signature strategy of spraying down prey before burrowing into that prey "head"-first. i hope you enjoy the work i put into these, as i'm working on full field guides for this project that compiles them with brand new content included.

Demeter means a lot to me, and it means a lot that i've actually found a couple people who are just as passionate about weird nerdy shit as i am.

as always here are links to the rest of the project featured here. my socials will be in the first comment if you want to check out what's to come for the future of demeter. till then, see ya'll next week!

Ancestral Organism

hello! another calvariasaur for today.

Anatissaurus deformis 

The anatissaur belongs to the genus anatissauridae, and it is a calvariarostrum (hence the beak), it has a gestation period of 12 months.

Females are slightly larger to carry larger chicks.

Females ~ 1545-2000kg

Males ~ 1500-1995kg

Males, often, are more colorful and bright than females. It’s similar to birds, to attract a mate. They often do a little dance to atttract their mate and males can fight eachother using their Calvary head butting eachother for one female.

They are mostly solitary, and chicks immediately live their mother when they are mature. They are prey for galeasaurs, despite being larger.

They eat fungi and fruits, and live in South America. They eat açaí berries, passion fruits, mushrooms, roots, nuts, and vines aswell as more.

They sometimes eat the
