Thread 5014647

you can create a new animal
what do you make?

>>5014647 (OP)
I've imagined a much larger descendant of coconut crabs inhabits an island without much in the way of predators, where they could evolve to be much much bigger thanks to their specialized lungs.

Although they might need some help in the way of evolving legs that could support such a hefty arthropod on land. I also imagined these crabs having seasonality, since the drier parts of the year could be hostile to them or just unable to find necessary food.

>>5014647 (OP)
Ratites bred for riding.

>>5014647 (OP)
Giant bird that eats people, especially businessmen in cities. I think it would really put humans in their place if they couldn't just walk around outdoors without fear of getting snatched up by a massive hawk.

An annual killifish that can survive freezing temperatures.

>>5014647 (OP)
Crabs that can fly just uproot the entire order of animal life

Great apes that live in the jungles of South America and terrorize Brazilians.

>>5014650
do they have a new exciting economic system?

>>5014665
>especially businessmen
Identifies them based on fancy suits, briefcase, and talking loudly using a bluetooth earpiece.

It would not end well, but dragons.

>>5014665
>typical feather freak
punt guns would take care of that

not in india tho, those are prey hominids due to their plant based diet

>>5014671
Wouldn't that just be other Brazilians?

>>5014841
Yes but the favela monkey lives in the favela not the jungle

a shieldfish for my swordfish.

>>5014897
Like a bony remora?

>>5014647 (OP)
Fuzzy, arboreal octopi with a 20-30 year lifespan. Maybe have them be 15-20 pounds. Bred for intelligence and domesticated.

Plus, wild breeds would be fucking terrifying.

>>5014647 (OP)
Lizard Elephant

an iguana/grasshoper/sloth kind of mix

spends a lot of time in the trees, hunts by doing big jumps, likes to nap a lot

>>5014691
So you're saying it's a good idea?

Space animal that occasionally flips off people looking through telescopes

>armadillo body
>head of an owl
>slug tracks
>peacock feathers
>lives on walls
>eats lettuce

Snakes with a short body but extra long tail so it's basically just a long tube of meat. Nature' sausage.

>>5014907
I like it, sounds cool and almost plausible

I've seen these exact niggas here in Arkansas

When I was a little kid, we had an assignment in school where we had to design a new animal. My design was a stingray with claws like a mantis underneath to catch prey.
This was before I knew about Anomalocaris, and I only just made that connection now when I read this thread.

cross between a cute bunny rabbit and a ferret/stoat with a round/portly but long tubular body and no arms or legs so only form of locomotion is bouncing the way these seals bounce about

YINGLET

>>5014647 (OP)
Parasitic cuckoo tickworms. They cling onto the hair follicles of ground rodents until they sence their prey, enter ticks, eat the ticks' eggs from the inside, lay their eggs inside the tick, and then maybe escape to continue the cycle. They can be faintly visible to the naked eye being slightly thinner that the legs of a tick nymph, but under the microscope they look like a smooth worm with clear and dark patterns spots. Their head has two backward facing spines and two glands used for "smelling".
Or, I'd like domesticated saddle-capable giraffes and I want them bred to have different color/pattern varieties.

Smaller, more durable manatees.

>>5015511
manateenies?

So, we already know sloths have algae on their fur, resulting in entire ecosystems. We need to go further.

>>5014647 (OP)
Eagle large enough to grab adults who are fat, terrible drivers or basketball americans.

>>5015274
you're talking shit, play a record

>>5015412
I remember this thread

Cursorial frogs/toads the size of dogs and big cats. Have them inhabit madagascar, east africa, middle east, india, and southeast asia, maybe polynesia and perhaps oz also.
That would be awesome.

>>5014647 (OP)
An orca sized sea turtle with a large neck and tail. Closest to ever having plesiosaurs back in the ocean.

>>5014647 (OP)
Ducks

Monkey frog

Create dogs who can clap.

>>5014691
>not in india tho, those are prey hominids due to their plant based diet
India almost killed their vulture population because they kept feeding NSAIDS to their dying cows, and the birds got poisoned eating the meat after the cows died.

It's one of the big reasons why India has a massive rodent and feral dog problem

Dog sized Elephants

>>5014647 (OP)
some kind of aggressive monkey

>>5015412
Medieval manuscript dragon basically.

Freshwater whales that can live comfortably in a 40 gallon aquarium.

>>5018640
wait wha-- ohohoho, well played good sir

New feline species that's 3 times bigger than a house cat and travels in packs/acts similar to coyotes. People in rural areas can hear them crying at night and claim it sounds like children screaming in the woods.

I'm going to make medium sized, social, pack hunting monitor lizards.
Think argus size.

>>5014647 (OP)
a large domesticatable mustelid with extra fluff and lop ears for maximum cuteness

>>5014647 (OP)
Giant isopods that enjoy being around humans. Imagine waking up in the middle of the night to one hugging you in its legs, smelling you

>>5018945
Theoretically they could exist some whales are very small and they could get smaller with their habitat reduction

>>5014647 (OP)
some sort of giant terrestrial ammonite/nautilus or squid thing

>>5014647 (OP)
this was an activity in high school german class
i made das vokröchen, it has the head of a bird, the body of a tortoise, and the legs of a guinea pig
i don't have the drawing anymore unfortunately

>>5014897
Sunfish can play the part

>>5014647 (OP)
Two-tailed lizard!

Domestic dog but they live 80 years, don't have annoying mating seasons, are naturally predisposed to believing in jesus, and are smarter than the average detroit american

>>5014647 (OP)
An anthro female I can bang

>>5014647 (OP)
A species of octopus with a 100 year lifespan that doesn't need to kill itself in order to reproduce

Megafauna

Something fucking HUGE
like a blue whale on land

Fairyfolk.
You can catch them wild in the summer like fireflies.

>>5014689
Yes

>>5014647 (OP)
I know they are real, but i wish they were recognized by the scientific community

They should hire this taxidermist for gender conversion surgeries.
>>5015274
>owl head, snail body
Sounds like hell
>>5015354
This looks durable as a hamster, probably less.

>>5023542
If they are plants that would be a good food crop. Like a tree sized corn cob you pluck a nozzle into like for syrup.

>>5014647 (OP)
Alright, get this

and

but

pretty wild right?

>>5014647 (OP)
A horse, but it can consent.

>>5014647 (OP)
Don't know exactly what it would look like, but the males have their reproductive organs on their faces. Because they don't have to hump each other, they can have horns on their backs and asses, making it almost impossible for lions to attack.

Tiny humans...but they fly.
And they're as small as a quarter.
...Homo Microscopius?

>>5014647 (OP)
human centipede

Crab with guns
