So is the grashof loop a virtual link based on keeping a hamstring muscle contracted, or is it not a virtual link but a literal attachment between the hamstring area and the heel of the cannon bone?

If it's a literal attachment point could it not be tough fascia that prevents the full extension of the limb, like a tether?

I'm very tired right now so I may not be really grasping what's meant here.

Here's a video on a four bar system for observers who want to see moving examples.

Ooh wait it's attached at the hip ..

So just removing the coast and it'll be fine?

Even if it gets blown out there, there's nothing for it to perform its normal lifestyle on so probably shouldn't count as a habitat.

For the wings and heat, during flight the large torso muscles should be able to create enough heat to keep them warm during flight.

And during rest if the membrane is retracted against a supporting bone it would decrease surface area to volume ratio, so that would help.

Good point, bats actually use their wings to cool off since flight heats their bodies up so much.

Is this helpful?

I haven't looked into what's being discussed here too thoroughly, but it's something to do with comparing limbs to moving contraptions, and skimming this it seems to be a similar topic.

It could keep paths clear though, smashing baby ones in areas where am adult may have died or just hadn't been colonized yet.

Cool, approved

" both to warm their small bodies up and to photosynthesis"

both to warm their small bodies up and to photosynthesize?

I like your edits regarding migration and importance of sunlight access.

I think being able to eat things plus their ability to use big wings for photosynthesis would provide enough sugar to keep a livable temperature for something that doesn't need as high of a body temperature as, say, a human.

as for issue with heat loss through the wings.

thing could help somewhat.

looks like the capitalization issues were solved

for example;

if it's just catapulting into the air to flap/glide down at a slower rate like chickens tend to do I can see it working.

The wings are kinda long in shape for moving like a chicken though, but that's just artistic choice. entirely circumvented by just gliding more than flapping.

Oh is respiration for these guys stomata since generally purple Flora are plant copies?

Now that it's added then I'll change the thing to say approved

" Since the only regular predator of the Sowverms are the Regalian Fossorundis that care for them, alongside the fact they are regularly fed high nutrient-meals, Sowverms breed extremely quickly and produce a lot of offspring."

The phrasing of this could be different. The way I read it it seems as though to suggest that the lack of diverse predation resulted in high reproductive rates, as opposed to the high predation of a single predator selecting for fast breeding.



I really like this colony dependent organism

Can it be like, elaborated on in the description that the prongs have flexible only partially lignified wood, until the trunk reaches mature height.

Maybe also how the trunk grows relative to the branches.

Orbion trees are weird.

to be honest the visual daigram alone is enough explanation of the physiology for me to make a descendent if I wanted to, at least body-wise.

The final portion of the description covers the general activity of the critter, which would allow for figuring out descendent behavior.

I dunno, I think it's fine.

another option, since it is an orbion, is to have the upward growth of the trunk entirely distinct and separate from the development and elongation of the branches. Providing a point of trunk growth shortly below the base of the branches, and branch lengthening at the tips of the branches, could work. The woodiness however would not be continual in that design.

Unless, a very awkard looking internal woody structure were created, I'm having trouble seeing how the wood in the branches could smoothly establish themselves alongside the trunk though..

Hm, so do they grow at the tips, like mint? Because That's what it sounded like to me, with the prongs having the ability to grow new leaves.

Ah, I see.

Also if you look those non vascular plants up you'll notice they're rather green.

I can tell you right now, as a person who interacts with it every day, that ophiopogon uses a green photosystem. Their dark colorations are unrelated to actual light capture.

Nigrescens is just one of many cultivars.

I'm kind of curious if the outline is able to be emphasized more for better defining the swirl growth under the seabed.

I think this is distinct enough with the floating sporangium and simpler winter leaf to call for a distinct genus.

So I changed the name.
