Done Transferring Pages

Hello again everyone! I am done transferring all the pages. Now, I am working on the Meet The Mammals section. That section is going to take the longest to complete. You all will notice I don't have the pull-down menus on those pages anymore. Now, I just list the mammals' names. I will soon be working on a book that will have more extensive info about the animals' lives, but the new checklist is up and running. I adjusted the setting so it can be viewed by anyone. Last night, I realized someone tried to view it and couldn't without my permission. I didn't want that!! It should be available to everyone!! It's growing and I am getting closer and closer to my goal of 5000 mammals listed. After that, I want to work towards getting a goal of 10,000 mammals listed for the Metazoic. As long as it took me to reach the goal I am at now, to reach a goal of 10,000 mammals is going to take downright forever!! But I think it can be done.

Well, bear with me in the Meet the Mammals section, as that one is going to take a while to complete. I first want to get up all the drawings I have completed already, and then I have been asked to work on the gerbbucks next. But I want to get up what I have already done. It could take months to get to the gerbbucks, as I had already begun another group before I was asked to do the gerbbucks. So, I want to complete that group before I get to the gerbbucks. But I will get to them. Keep your eyes on the Meet the Mammals page. Each time one is completed and put up, you will see their family name turn into a clickable link. Please be patient with me, as I am working on all this alone and I want to have the pics looking good before I put them up. Each one needs to at least tell a story of some kind about that animal's lifestyle. But all-in-all, the pages are done being transferred. And I will continue to post more updates as I can.

The Making of Lemuria?

 I admit, I cannot take credit for naming the island of Lemuria. That was Dougal Dixon's idea I believe. But it was a good enough name that I decided to use it in my Metazoic project. After all, Metazoica is kind of an extension of the After Man project. It was inspired by it, and I just built on it. I really liked Dixon's ideas and agreed with most of them at the time. Besides, I don't believe his ideas were too far off. For example, the island of Lemuria. Now, I don't really know if that's what it'll be called. But I do know, and there have been studies, that the island, made up of most of the eastern side of Africa, will emerge. I found an article that describes how it is believed this area will form. It is a very seismically active area even today. So, the plates will obviously separate. Scientists now believe that could happen within the next 10 million years (approximately). I picture at first, it will become a channel, which in my book, I call the Nile Ch...

New Changes to Old Names

Image
 Well, I kinda got a burst of inspiration from working on the Australian bush foxes yesterday. So, I've been working on my checklist for Metazoica. I thought it was proper to add the other foxes to the canine family in the Metazoic, because to be honest with you, I don't believe foxes are going anywhere. There's a slight difference. There are 4 genera of foxes, instead of simply using the one that is classified today. I divided the genus Vulpes into 4 separate genera. I'm using not only Vulpes (northern forest foxes), but also Fennecus (for old world desert foxes), Neocyon (for American prairie foxes) and Alopex for the arctic and corsac foxes. Then, of course I added Urocyon , which is a genus currently in use today for the gray foxes. I also added a few species of my own to these genera. For example, the silver and "cross fox" are separate species in the genus Vulpes . Today, they are simply mutations of the red fox ( Vulpes vulpes ). But, I figure by t...

How Cities Affect Evolution

 I saw this video tonight and thought it was interesting enough to talk about here. This film focuses on anole lizards in Puerto Rico that live in forests and now are becoming specially adapted to urban life. This herpetologist has looked at these city anoles and noticed some adaptations they have as opposed to their forest living relatives. Since this is a site where we hope to learn about evolution, I thought it was important to learn about how cities affect the process of evolution. This can also help any upcoming speculative biologists understand how evolution goes. Actually, evolution can go any way. It all depends on a lot of things. This just happens to talk about animals that evolved to live in big city environments. And it's not just in Puerto Rico this can happen. It can happen in ANY city in the world.
