Description
The Big-beak-cap is one of my favorite Scodatopsids. This bird can be found on every bigger island, from the top of the vulcanos to the lowest lowlands.The animals feed mainly small seeds, but also insects and berries. they often sit on the back of the flighless azhdarchids and picking parasits from the ptero-fuzz.

While I have nothing against little birds and funny bugs I hope this arvchipelago will have some weirder dwellers too.

I notice that, I look sometimes on the statistics
But that's the concept of this project, the strange, beutiful things are often lay in the detail and in the way how the enviroment, the animals and the plants interact together. I don't want a monster island, there are too many examples out there. That's maybe a bit unspectecular for some people, but speculative evolution doesn't need to be spectacular.
This projct can also be used as a education tool. It explain in many ways how evolution work. Vicariance, convergency, isolation, dwarfism, gigantism, sexual selction and so on...
There will be more spectacular critters, but it won't be a slap in your face like my Mokele Mbembe or the Xenosauropods

No, I don't really mean spectacular.

I use "spectacular" and "beautiful" often as a substitute for "weird"
And don't worry, there will be weird things

Well i think spectacular is reserved for more

I always try to see the spectacular in the trivial
That's how some of the greatest paradigm shifts in art happend.

Ahh cool so would they be kiwi sized? I cant wait to see what else dwells here i have a idea for a project two infact inspired by warren fahys fragment wich i recomend one is a field guid about flora and fauna o a flat top mountian that has been untouched by modern man so things like giant ground sloths terra birds and big cats would live but have changed over time another would be a deep sea crater that would be deep and there could be small caves with isolated ecosystems but im more if a xenobiologist that a spec biologist so ill keep them for a rainy day

Sounds intersting, especially the deep sea crater
Yes they are kiwi sized, and a few are even a bit bigger
