Comment Post #278075 can you focus your question? I'm not exactly sure of the *one* question you are ultimately interested in us answering. If it's possible for ligments that were used for locomotion to be used for sexual reproduction later in life? Octopus is close, some inject sperm through one of the arms IIRC.

Comment Post #277434 Forgot to put I intended this animal to be more intelligent than traditional mammalian apex predators, both ideas are unique and interesting, never thought of a "cuckoo" strategy.

Comment Post #277414 Finally, I didn't ask if my creature was possible to begin with, *my question was about hiding such an animal at certain ranges*. I even specified it's hiding strategy didn't need to work 100% of the time (or even 10% apparently!), and that environmental changes could be part of what makes it work. ...

Comment Post #277414 Additionally the animal I propose is *not* fast and agile, and like other large animals carnivores and other animals, like bears, would rely on *sprinting* for short distances, shorter distances than other carnivores, hence why I said it needed to be so close to pick prey off and get just enough dist...

Comment Post #277414 3000kg is huge, but that's no where near the largest size a terrestrial carnivore ever, T Rex by comparison was 8000kg to 15000kg, and much more comparable in mass to it's own prey, being even larger than some (Edmonosaurus was 9000kg for example), heck, my Giant Hyena even shares some of the same ch...

Question How do I realistically keep my large mammalian predator hidden from other pack hunters.
What coloration pattern/ technique could a large mammalian predator employ to evade detection from other mammalian predators at 100 -> 20 meter distances (or close enough so that it could sprint into them, and run away). In my world building scenario there exists what essentially amounts to a Gia...

Question Plausibility of "multi-type transmissible animal cell tumor" to form more complex structures.
There's apparently a type of transmissible cancer that came from new world dogs thousands of years ago, the Canine transmissible venereal tumor. As I understand, this self replicating surviving cancer has DNA from new world dogs no longer found in the current canine population. It's its own "thing"...

Comment Post #277200 So if I understand this correctly, technically you could accomplish this in some sense, but you would already be dead by the magnetic forces required to accomplish it?

Question Magnet strong enough to rip the iron out of your body feasible?
Is it possible, given a strong enough magnet, to rip out iron based molecules out of the blood stream/body of a person/animal? Would such an event be the thing that kills someone or are there other adverse effects that would kill a person. I've seen reports of dizziness and metallic taste during MRI...

Comment Post #277084 @Enfield your question is way too specific. I'm not even sure what your question exactly is. Are you just saying "Suppose there was another earth, and it was devoid of life, how would we revive it?" If so, you should edit your question to have way less exposition.

Comment Post #276696 This answer is great, and would still serve as a useful post if it stayed as is, it provides lots of useful information, but @OlinLathrop is correct. Merely applying pressure or force on the second ship isn't the issue I was worried about (though maybe I should be if it is scaled up further orders of...

Question Avoiding Incidental Ion Drive damage to Following Vehicles?
Is it possible for a large enough Ion Drive with enough power to be dangerous to other objects "down wind" of the vehicle, even at long distances (100+km)? As I understand it, ion drives accelerate ions at high speeds, and hypothetically this appears as if it would would have dangerous consequences ...

Question Competently Mobile Photosynthetic Animal?
I have an idea for a land based mobile organism that moves and uses photosynthesis for its primary means of energy generation. Can a motile organism conceivably get enough energy from photosynthetic processes as its primary energy source to move at a competent speed? Said animal doesn't have to b...
