Despite its name, the owlbear is in fact neither owl nor bear - it is a large species of rodent whose external incisors resemble a curved "beak." The enamel of these incisors is colored brown because of iron compounds. This hard substance wears down at a slower rate than the regular tooth, thus producing a sharp edge at the tooth tip.

It is thought that owlbears are evolved from smaller burrowing rodents who made use of their external teeth as digging implements. Their ancestors lacked external pinnae, but the modern owlbear's fur grows in an owl-like facial disk to direct sound -- a case of convergent evolution.

Or, what if dnd owlbears were just big mole rats.

thinking about unconventional sophont aliens, here's some quick little sketches of "star whales"/bioships that were left to form their own societies when the species that engineered them went extinct

#my extreme love of weird aliens vs my inability to commit to the zoological rigor that makes most spec bio projects good lol #aliens

if youre still taking requests - Draw a cool species youve seen in the spec bio community mayhaps?

Enamoured by @sparrowlucero's space whales

“Mininykus”, my little speculative alvarezsaurid guy

Basically a tiny version of mononykus haha. I am not like a skeleton person so if I mess up in that diagram then feel free to critique it

It is a nocturnal desert dwelling theropod, with a very short stature. Only about 6-9 inches tall. It is a predator, and mainly hunts during the night. It feeds on insects, grubs, and small reptiles. They dig shallow burrows in dirt mounds, where they sleep during midday to avoid the heat. Their large eyes and whiskers aid in helping them transverse their dark environment.

It is sort of based on a jerboa, but it can’t hop. They are very good at speedwalking though.

Edit: I see some new mininykus enjoyers! Reminder that mininykus has its own tag (#mininykus) with more art and speculation!

I love my life highly satisfied just being myself

(Female version here)

#okey so as my 'I love myself' post is the most popular thing on my blog (500 notes already yet still growing and it's wild😆) #I decided to make a male version just in case anybody needed it😉 #anyone having more idea - pls go ahead and tell me I'd love to make it a happy queer series! it doesn't need to be aspec only😉 #aroace #aro #ace #aromantic #asexual #aromantic asexual #aromantism #asexuality #aspec #a spec #a spectrum #aroace positivity #aro ace #queer #queer positivity #(I'm most probably only shooting myself in the foot giving two similar pictures but who knows where it may lead) #2K

I love how the dragon in Dungeon Meshi doesn't have the usual lizard-y limb anatomy but something more along the lines of a large land mammal or even a sauropod +500 points from me (also the way the fire breathing is explained is in line with a lot of spec evo stuff, cool)

#the suitcase chronicles #dungeon meshi #dunmeshi #dragon #like #the mangaka really really has a knack for good speculative biology #but the dragon really activates my neurons cause I've seen a LOT of great spec evo for dragons #and made some myself #so its like #yeah this is a plausible animal

and if the kitchen stills from you don't know me are buck coming out to eddie? if eddie comes over to talk to buck about how fucking weird he's been recently, a little angry but a lot concerned? if buck starts getting smaller and smaller in that way only oliver stark can manage? if eddie notices and softens and asks in that gentle, no nonesense voice "buck, what is going on with you"? if buck's voice breaks as he says "eddie, i think i might be bisexual"? if all the wind is knocked out of eddie's sails and he just takes a moment to breathe in this new revelation and everything it could possibly mean? and if buck gets smaller and smaller as the silence goes on? and if eddie pulls him into a tight and tender hug that lasts a few seconds too long? what then?

#sami rambles #seti got this first #and then threw it back in my face with this: #eddie pulling himself together and the determined pout to his face... 'show him he's loved first. everything else later' #911 spoilers #911 show #buddie #evan buckley #eddie diaz #buck x eddie #911 spec

No hold on I'm gonna make an extra post about this:

I wouldn't choose to be alloromantic

If I were given the choice to either remain aro or become alloro again, I would choose aromanticism.

And I think a lot of people need to hear that.

#aro #aromantic #actually aromantic #safeforaro #alloromantics are encouraged to reblog this #aros aren't the only ones who need to hear that our orientation isn't a consolation prize #too many ppl - both aro-specs and alloros - think that being aro is okay only bc it's not something we choose #with the implicit belief that if we COULD choose then OF COURSE we'd choose to be alloro #bc it's clearly the 'superior' option #and honestly? it's not. #they're equally valid options and which one is 'superior' depends entirely on your own needs and preferences #and my preference is *being aro* #so if you're aro and you feel like yeah sure it's OKAY that you're aro bc you DIDN'T choose this #but if you could you WOULD choose to be alloro? #well maybe being alloro really would be better for you. or maybe it's just internalized amatonormativity. #and I cannot answer for you which one it is - the only one who can is you #all I can do is raise you the OPTION that it might be amatonormativity and then leave you to consider it #so this is for the aros who need to hear that option #and for the alloros who pity us for supposedly getting the short end of the stick #we are not a tragedy
