Let me get this straight : So Basically this is the prelude to the origin of this metallic world, of how biosynthetic microorganisms developed naturally...Similar to those invertebrates with exoskeletons composed of minerals but in this case literally fused into a single, much more complex organism...That its Brilliant!!! If this was the Archaic period, I'm already intrigued by the Cambrian! Groovy piece work, great worldbuilding intro development and waiting for more!!!
This is amazing! I was expecting something strange but I didn’t expect these organisms to be full on Robots! This was a nice change of pace from the usual reimaginings and I am very eager to see where this goes in the future. Since this is a new series I don’t really have anything I would like to see on it specifically but I am intrigued by organisms with *wheels*. Now onto today’s proposal, I teased a few weeks ago about my version of Bigfoot and I am proud to present it here. As our research centre expanded, many myths and legends of this world began to become clear, such as the bizarre Greys, the creepy Chupacabra and like today’s subject, cryptids like the elusive Bigfoot and Sasquatch. The Kushtaka is a large bipedal feline related to the likes of cougars and other cats in the Americas. They inhabit the western coast spanning from down in California to the Alaskan tundra up north. These creatures are large, reaching anywhere from 6 to 10 feet on their hind legs. They are primarily bipedal but will sprint on all fours when necessary, such as when they are hunting prey. The Kushtaka is a facultative carnivore as though it mainly eats prey like deer and large birds it will consume plant material and fruits. These creatures are solitary as adults and traditionally wander across forests, sticking to ridgelines for a tactical advantage against potential competition. These creatures are mainly nocturnal and have a tapetum lucidum, like all cats, that helps them find prey but unlike most cats, this also functions as a form of intimidation and communication. If threatened or if they detect an intruder getting too close for comfort they will flash them with the help of symbiotic bacteria on their body to make it appear as if there are floating orbs of light in front of the target. This has been observed to help Kushtaka communicate with other members of their species over long distances. Young Kushtaka will surprisingly stay together in loose packs of up to three for protection, consisting of related siblings though these will disband quickly once the Kushtakas become big enough to protect themselves. Along with their flashes of light they can communicate through the construction of crude structures out of tree branches as waypoints, warnings or simply because they want to make them. Most “warnings” consist of claw marks on the sides of trees that show the strength of the owner. One of their most unique abilities is their cloaking mechanism which has allowed them to remain hidden for so long from us. This works by refracting light through their normally black fur to appear more clear which has led to their scientific name which literally means “they who walks in the shadows”. Despite their extremely humanoid appearance for a feline they retain their tails which, when walking bipedally, fold up against their backs and only come out when hunting or sneaking. In this appearance they closely resemble a large otter or in some unique encounters, bears. The study of this creature has been extremely limited due to the local governments have kept them in captivity in federal reserves for the theorised purpose of replacing their cloaking ability. However recently a small research team has enlightened our knowledge of these animals through a documentary series about these creatures on the Discovery Channel. I would like to see another Bigfoot episode with community ideas this time and I will see you next week, see you soon.
Oh yes, the wheeled organisms are something I quite look forward to explaining! And I really love this concept! Bigfoot-adyacent creatures can be really fun and weird, and I think there's a very creepy and interesting quality to this reimagining!
Speculative wildlife research center do the kraken as a relitive to the giant squid the ningen as a arctic species of turtle siren head as a huge stick bug that wears scrap metal jean jacket as a relitive to the jellyfish muto as a large arthropod related to the crab sky rods as a centipede species that filled the niche of krill tripodero as a bird related to the heron alicorns as a dragon that looked like a unicorn and evolved transparent wing membranes similar to the griffins and is a herbivore and sandworms as a truely gigantic species of worm that belongs to the brissle worm family and the sandworms are related to the bobbit worms and how about a azhdarchid like machine that use the sun light as a weapon it uses its glass like wing membranes to cook its prey to death and uses its mechanical beak to get small machines to eat the machine
Woah its so different from the spec evo projects I usually see. Can't wait to see what happens! How often will this series have a new episode? Is there a schedule known?
It took a bit for me to get a chance to really watch, but A completely non-carbon-based form of life, and instead working with metal structures, is going to be interesting. A bit of the origin of Bionicle or Transformers-like work. They even have different types of cellular material with those stacks. It will be pretty interesting to see what will emerge. The multilentis are unusual but comparable to the first cyanobacteria and early photosynthetic species, but the vitrulum despite the differences in internal structure are also in the early mat phase of life so who knows how things will go from here. Also, living beings are growing wheels, and that is going to be a fascinating process. It's one of the reasons I haven't suggested zoombinis before since wheels are that much of a challenge.
*Humans arrive* -Oh, look! This planet has oceans of oil! *And so Sidus was exploited until all its sources of "Water" were emptied. Thus causing the extinction of all Petromorphs before they could even evolve into macroscopic life*
Congratulations! Looking forward to what you come up with! The path you've chosen is not an easy one. We know how biochemistry works on earth and most specbio projects try to stick pretty close to it, only shifting a few elements around. But your world not only doesn't have organic life, it isn't even using a solvent as a medium. So, how would new material end up in your oceans?
interesting things to explore: /How does predation evolve with such hard organisms and what does it change for the hunted /how are they moving around: Swimming, walking, flying? /is there only asexual reproduction or may there be different ways /is there decomposing? or are the new generations just building on top of the old ones
I've had an idea like this, but I thought it would be easier to go about it with symbiotes or siphonophores or just hivemind colony things, I didn't consider living crystals
Quite interesting! I guess we are going to go back and forth with this new project and the classic spec evo videos? (Not dissin you or this new project bruv just curious!)
A chanlange for you you know him as the star of the show or a name you should know Kirby the star warrior look to easy it out for you theres proff that kirby is a amebba of sorts (game theory made a video about it )
@@speculativewildlife in the smash bros manual it is said that kirby is 8 inches tall and (this information is from game theorie's video) the biggest species of amoeba grow to 8 inches tall
So the morphology of the creatures is entirely determined by the conditions of their surroundings? That doesn't sound like something that could evolve?
Incredible video and I say this with no exaggeration this is one of the top five best and easily the most distinctive Spec Evo projects I have thus far found on RUclips, and I look forward to seeing what else Sidus has to hold also I’ll admit this week I do not have any new suggestions so instead I will be adding a few extra things onto mainly two of my prior suggestions first being for the other mother and the main thing I would like to add to her would potentially be some form of pheromonal manipulation of her prey to kind of rationalize the illusory world that she creates for Coraline and her past victims and the second would be for Donkey Kong and mainly focuses on rationalizing his (by ape standards) massive stature and disproportionate herculean strength with the rationalization that I came to mainly focusing on his ever prized golden bananas so to set the groundwork DK island is shown to have a surprisingly active volcano and given how the aftermath of lava flows are some of the only places in which carbon nanotubes can naturally be found it would be at least in my eyes relatively reasonable to assume that even if by accident some plant species would start soaking them up through their roots like for instance, an endemic species of banana plant and then some creatures feeding on those bananas might start to incorporate those carbon nanotubes into their own tissues in order to cope with a variety of environmental stressors as DK island even outside of the volcano seems to be a pretty hostile place and one final note on Donkey Kong that kind of veers away from the primary focus of this suggestion update would be potentially noting that dominant males of the Kong species have a roughly tie shaped patch of red fur running down their chest thus naturally tying in that facet of his design into his biology and maybe rationalizing why that seems to be one of the first articles of clothing the Kongs picked up after any potential interactions with humans.
Actually, one last suggestion to update that I kind of forgot until now would actually be one last addition to my suggestion for Ridley, that being the fact that at least to my knowledge, Ridley is apparently capable of matching Samus’s gunship in speed, and given the fact that Samus’s ship can reach FTL speeds that to me implies that Ridley may very well be capable of going beyond the speed of light without external assistance.
Thanks a lot, I'm really glad you liked it! And I think the whole use of nanotubes has a lot of potential for this! And I think Ridley must surely have some kind of jet propulsion, possibly related to the way its breath weapon works! (also as a note, the DK soundtrack on my playlist started playing when I read this)
@@speculativewildlife that they do and honestly given how effortlessly Ridley often takes off and how little he flaps his wings it honestly would make sense that he has some form of biological jet propulsion and the idea of it tying into his breast weapon is I must say a really intriguing one and finally what a humorous coincidence on that DK soundtrack note.
Don't forget to place something like the boring billion. Where life just existed at a boring stage without complexity Until some organism made a breightruh and opened up the door for an evolutionary arms race
The boring billion wasn't actually all that boring. Early life was almost wiped out several times. Consider the great oxidation event and multiple snowball earths...
