I think kangaroo population will not survive in NA. In Europe small species of wallabies existed in XIX and the 1st half of XX centuries, but they was...
I have an idea - flag-tailed descendant of Nasua living in pampas of South America (like D. Dixon's babookari or Catta lemurs). But I have no trivial name of...
... By the way, I get a full text of this book from one good man (he also sent me copy of D. D.'s book). Yes, I know. It will be. Not this month, even not this...
By the way, Russian text of Arafura lake fauna description is ready. What do you think about Carpentaria lake inhabitants? I see saw-jawed crocs among them....
... I very much enjoyed the species accounts of the Arafura lake, I was unable to pass the entire website through babelfish, so I read the species accounts 1...
... "The name coati or coatimundi is Tupian Indian in origin." "The prefix "coati" means "belt", and "Tim" means "nose" referring to the way the coatis tuck...
... Of course, coati. The temporary head blow-off. Yeas, I know this name. But it is an official and well-known name of MODERN one. And what about other names...
... Possible, 1 or 2 pro mille. Animals can drink this water. ... Stingray? Very probable candidate. Live-bearing species may avoid the changing of salinity,...
... Good, concievably, we could write about any large mammals becoming prey for the giant snake. ... Yes, stingray. I think those would make a good candidate...
... close ... I agree with you - it is the most probable candidate. Maybe the descendant of this species will turn small and motley (striped or spotted). The...
... Good idea. ... That sounds great. We could always include the large mammals as prey to the snake, maybe taking young of the larger species, and of course ...
... So, future baboons represent very interesting object of discussion. My opinion is baboons will easily survive until any futuristic epoch described in...
... I think you may compose the complete description of any species, if you want. Now I'm busy a little, scanning and converting in HTML Ch. Darwin's book "The...

I finished the converting of Darwin's book to HTML and loaded it yesterday to my site library. Now I can focus on Neocene ideas. What about singing perches (or...
I just remaind you of two another sea-lakes: Baikal in Asia (the sea- like by its size and depth), and Mishe-Nama in North America (former Hudson Bay, renamed...
... Can they breed in fresh water? I think it is an important restriction for their further evolution. In closed freshwater lake their population may just...
... They can't. They must migrate into estuaries to do it. So, because of it I doubt seriously in their ability to exist in Carpentaria Lake. But in Arafura...
So, let's lift this topic up. Of course, I'll speak about Neocene, the epoch 25 MY in the future. I may imagine worm-tailed pythons, medium-sized ground snakes...
... I agree, certain snakes in the poresent do something similar. ... Birds seem to be good at evolving inflatable sacs to resonate calls, or even for other...
I was discussing the idea of giant futuristic Arthropods with a friend of mine once, and he gave me a novel solution to the problem of growing large. If we...
... Hmmm. What kind of predators? Among arthropods spiders and many other Chelicerata, a part of insects, crabs and centipedes are predators. ... Ah! You...
Asia is the largest continent of the world. It includes various natural zones - from ice deserts of the north to hot deserts of the south and central part, and...
Now I work at the descriptions of water birds of Fourseas living in vast Karakum delta, where the Uzboy River (filled with water again) separates to many...
... For the Jacarta coast, I imagine Mammals that dominate the area now will become extinct. I'm sure smaller mammals would evolve to fill these niches, like...
