... a. I believe you formerly agreed, albeit reluctantly, that the ancestry of the species could be modified if need be. b. It's not bobunking the animals....
... Your original link implies the opposite to me. If live, advanced birth is due to a jumping gene from a retrovirus, it could have happened to any given...
... It's not the taxonomy that worries me, it's the fact that you want to fit them into non-polar or non cold water niches. I created them to be the Stellers...
... I formally agreed to changing the ancestry, I DID NOT agree to jamming them into tropical nearshore browsing niches. I created them as equivalents to the...
... I think you misinterpreted. The clade should be able to survive in warmer water as a whole, but any tropical populations will almost certainly be...
... Oh, and I wanted to say as an aside, I checked out your deviantART, and the "bunyip gloop" would make a good bridge between spec gloops and something else....
... Ah, I see. In that case, you have my permission to change the phylogeny of the gloop and kelpcow, but to leave those species in coldwater niches. I'll try...
Itavykais, Bastardsloths *Babeltheridea* As xenarthrans go, these mammals are bizarre. They possess many typical xenarthrans traits, such as a lack of...
... By being additional articulations, they stiffen the vertebral column. ... What is strange is the opposite. The septomaxilla is a very ordinary skull bone,...

Whoo! That's a lot of writing. My first glance is it's a bit too heavy on the morphology, a bit too light on ecology and evolution. ... Except for the...
... And, of course, lots of multis - this form of tooth is actually named after a multi. Remember that they survived up to the Oligocene in HE. And the...

... okay ... exactly, there are no real world bipedal dinosaurmorphic mammals that walk or run with the possible exception of some armadillos. That the...
... Try "plagiaulaciform". That said, a plagiaulaciform tooth without enamel has no hope of keeping its serrations. I detest the smell of bobunk in the...

... I was wondering if where we are mentioning extant HE animals and/or well known bits of morphology if we should include a link to Wikipedia, Paleos, or...
... Normally, I'd agree, but then, the upper molariform teeth help keep the plagiaulacoid sharp. also, the "plagiaulacoid" acts more akin to the small stud in...
... And their vague Spec p- version, the teddies & stimpies. ... I'd rather say we need a lot more illustrations....

I put in revisions per the suggestions. If the "plagiaulocoid" cannot work, I'll change it to caniniforme in itavykais and small caniniforme "tusks" in...
Okay, I think I've done a generalized outline of the Paraselenodontia. May it give you as many headaches as it has given me. (crawls off into a hole) ...
