About

Biodiversity is a term used to describe the enormous variety of life on Earth. It can be used more specifically to refer to all of the species in one region or ecosystem. Biodiversity refers to every living thing, including plants, bacteria, animals, and humans. Scientists have estimated that there are around 8.7 million species of plants and animals in existence. However, only around 1.2 million species have been identified and described so far, most of which are insects. This means that millions of other organisms remain a complete mystery.

Over generations, all of the species that are currently alive today have evolved unique traits that make them distinct from other species. These differences are what scientists use to tell one species from another. Organisms that have evolved to be so different from one another that they can no longer reproduce with each other are considered different species. All organisms that can reproduce with each other fall into one species. Read more...

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Be kind and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).

Who had "Razed By Wolves" for the end of humanity as we know it?

Kieth? No? Was it you, Cynthia? Ohright. You had "Tentacles From Beyond", I forgot. (You do know that Lovecraft was a hateful little shit, right?) — Oh! Camina? The Wolves are yours? Yes, and Logan's, too. That tracks.

Alright, folks, that's a wrap! It's been real!

No, see, these are Mutant Wolves. You guys picked Hillbilly Zombie Wolves. Completely different.
