@@ChaseDaOrk3767Actually that would make perfect sense, after all, the reason why Marsupials are the most dominant group in Australia is because of the unique advantages they have in such a place. Having low metabolism meaning they don’t need food so frequently, which helps when certain resources are hard to come by for a time being. They also have a reproductive method that allows them to pause their pregnancy when conditions are bad, giving their young a chance to be born at an ideal time. All of these are beneficial for harsh desert living.
Speaking of Sasquatch, I have a particularly interesting idea for Gnomes. It’s inspired by the Sumatran slow loris - A small primate with a bite that contains deadly toxins, making them the only venomous primate in the world. They feed on the sweet smelling nectar of the flowering Calliandra bush (used by farmers to shade their coffee crops), pollinating it. This would be reminiscent of the idea that Gnomes are caretakers of plants and trees.
@@speculativewildlife You’re very welcome! Also incase you need more ideas for the Gnome heres the following: I imagine the Gnome to be a tail-less monkey; more particularly a Gibbon with the face of a Snub nosed monkey, the round noise of a Koala, and a pointy, cone shaped hair style of a Francois’ Langur monkey, as well as the body of a Lar gibbon. While the majority it’s body hair is reddish brown, the hair around it’s chin and neck are white, creating the a beard-like impression.
Do the cockatrice as a enantiornithian that's evolved into a flightless and venomous scavenger that often lays its eggs in frog burrows. Also evolving spines across its wings and "tail" and a bare face and the ends of its wings.
If South American monkeys underwent parallel evolution into their own lineage of apes, I am not so sure they would lose their tails as happened with old world primates. The reason why I suspect, at least some, new world apes would retain their ancestral tails is due the tails of new world monkeys possessing an ability not seen in their old world cousins. New world monkeys have prehensile tails, meaning they can grab with their tails. A third grasping limb, which does not need to support the creature's weight as their feet do, could be a useful enough trait for evolutionary pressures to not select against it.
You should do a reimagine of the Manananggal. If you don't know what it is, it's a humanoid creature that has bat-like wings as well as a separated torso that feeds the blood of pregnant woman in Philippine mythology. As for the speculative version, it could be a bat with red feet which is a color of blood and, unlike the normal vampire bat having to bite animals, can have a long tongue to feed the blood of domesticated animals.
@Ciaran Eldrett That could be a lot of fun! I'm torn on how to approach more extraterrestrial creatures, but I think I could do a poll to see what you guys would like to see!
I think I've maybe have seen someone on the internet who had reimagined it as a modern species of giant ground sloth, but I don't remember who had made it
Ok, that's cool but I mean the actual Mapinguari. Not the Ground Sloth like it's so often said to be and probably is in real life. I mean the one in Folklore with no head, a singular eye on it's chest and a mouth on it's stomach.
Your version of Bigfoot is technically a false-ape, as you stated it’s evolved from Night Monkeys rather than hominids. This was an interesting take. Most Bigfoot believers often speculate that the creature is a gigantopithecus descendant.
Giganto was popular for a long time based on being really big, but as more evidence seems to suggest that Giganto was likely Quadropedal. Them being a branch on the Homo tree seems the most popular hypothesis these days, since that would require the least volume of convergent evolution by having their upright bipedalism being something from a common ancestor they share with us. The presence of midtarsel pressure ridges in fossilized footprints of early hominids matching similar ridges found in alledged sasquatch prints would also fit this hypothesis.
The current taxonomic name is "Anthropoidipes ameriborealis", if I remember correctly. But yeah, a primate's a primate. Either way, "Gigantopithecus" being part of his lineage doesn't sound likely.
I have a question or two if you plan on using a Chalicothere like animal for a future video; 1.) Would a Chalicothere be chill around people like a horse or skittish like a deer? 2.) How dexterous could a Chalicothere be with their clawed hands?
I do plan on doing so! My guess is a Chalicothere would be skittish, but like many animals could get used to human presence in time, as long as those humans are also chill! About their hands, Its unlikely they had much dexterity given their lack of opposable thumbs and them being used also for walking. Likely they had very limited grabing function.
Speaking of monke, what if fae/fair folk can be a sorta umbrella term for a couple of very different groups of organisms, one being insects which're made up of the likes of Pixies, Will O' Wisps, Tooth Fairies, and primates/prosimians called something like Faesimiae which is made up of Goblins, Elves, Dwarves, and Gnomes? Also with tales of Fae being from another world, another sick route being them as legit aliens that take cues from fungi and arthropods, so there's some nice room for some interesting weird designs, and they may favor Earth due to the similar enough/compatible biochemistry, making Earth prime terraforming/assimilation!
It'd be funny if Bigfoot turned out to be an unshaven hermit who lives in the woods! 😂 Like, he's a regular guy, just covered in hair. In the animated movie, Son of Bigfoot, he's something to a mutant from Marvel Comics. Yes, Bigfoot is a mutant! Lol.
That's interesting and all, but how are Floridiensis and Sasquatch related to the yeti and orang pendak? Did they migrate north and cross Beringia to enter Asia?
@speculativewildlife while I understand not wanting to be repetitive for creative reasons, wouldn't Sasquatch, Yeti, and other such hairy wild-man/man-apes/ape-men type cryptids all being the same species(or close relatives) be the most likely origin if they were real?
If you want to do more bigfoot-like creatures the Orang Pendek and Yowie could be interesting options.
I wonder if the Yowie would actually be an ape-like marsupial
@@ChaseDaOrk3767makes sense to me

Uh huh. And i know you're not sure how to pronounce the name by the way.
Speculative Wildlife Research Center,
Someone else already suggested it, but you should try doing fire breathing dragons one of these days
Oh yes, they are coming up soon!

Since we’re talking about Cryptids, why not one of the most bizarre? The Mapinguari

WOOOOOOOOOO
YEEEAAAAAAHHHHH
WE LOVE US SOME SMELLY APES
How about The Fresno nightcrawlers?
I imagine them being flightless birds that are white in colour with long legs
Bigfoot is fun but how about something more exotic like Batsquatch?
That would probably be a bat that evolved to resemble an ape.
Awesome
Now my main question is: How much do you bet that the information in this video will be used to justify the existence of this cryptide?
Honestly I wouldn't even be mad lol
This is incredible
Do you think Slenderman could be a loooong ape?
Perhaps, but maybe spmething that just LOOKS like a long ape would be even better ;)
@@speculativewildlife
Ah, yes. Some sort of uncanny creature. Boy, I really dig your creativity!

The real monster was prejudice. Against Bigfoot.
@@speculativewildlifeIndeed! Humans are always fearful of things they don't understand.
nice work are you gonna do the loch ness monster
Of course!
Can you do Dragons?
Ferth,
Dragons would be a cool one
Yes I can ;)
I'm learning about bigfoot
How about totoro?
Can you please do a video about the funeral mountain terrashot?
Wow, I just looked it up and I love it already!
Hey, can you make a separate video on the skunk ape?
Maybe, but Im not sure there's much I can add!
@speculativewildlife Okay, you can try to think about what you can add.
That's interesting and all, but how are Floridiensis and Sasquatch related to the yeti and orang pendak? Did they migrate north and cross Beringia to enter Asia?
They are not in this version!
Where are the Yetis?
Do these guys use Tools or is it to soon in their evolution?
Himalaya!
Joke aside, when I take on the Yeti, I want to make it more than a recolored Bigfoot, hence why I didnt include it here!

I love Bigfoot he’s one of my favorite cryptids. By the way I have a request for you can you make one on a creature from Star Wars for me
I hope you enjoyed the episode! Got any particular creature in mind?
@@speculativewildlife can you do yoda for me! It will make me very happy
Would you also fo yowie which is a species of marsupial like ape from Australia
Its being worked on!
14:13 they maybe real
Yeah mayhaps

do lock ness mosnter
Plan on doing so for sure!
