... 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...
... I think cormorants mimicking pelicans would definately evolve. I think herons and bitterns would be present, as well as rails and ducks, including Mergus....
... I think filter-feeders may live in salt reservoirs, where there is a plenty of any one kind of food organisms prospering out of competition. In favourable...
... I think any large animals must live in forest. Destroying trees like modern elephants and rhinos, they'll provide smaller ones with the food - large...
... Thalassocorax, the description is prepared. ... Possible, cyprinid fishes. I think also crabs of family Potamonidae (characteristic for Asia now) may live...

... I don't think so. They may use such sounds in courtship ritual. In this case only males will have this device, and females lack of it will fly better....
Geological processes in Pacific ocean had been the reason of forming of the chain of large islands along the coast of Eastern Asia. Small Kuril Islands turned...
... Ideas? You could have octopi that live exclusively in the algal masses, covered in fleshy tendrils and flanges to resemble algae, you could also have a...
... I perpared a description of octopus with flat ribbon-like tentacles unable to swim. What is "dogfish"? Is it small shark or teleost fish of Blennidae ...
... In this case I seriously doubt in its existence... If you mean carpet sharks, they don't live in colder waters of Northern Pacific (correct me if I'm...
For a topic I thought I would choose to talk about the paralells between mythology and evolution. We have a myth of the Leviathan, and accordingly, it's...
