Hall of Histogenesis
An antediluvian assembly, choreographed in hivemind tableau beneath the vapor canopy of the offing to come.
2. What Al-Jahiz called the "peristaltic halo" is now understood to be a centrifugal imprinting upon the biotic collective
A classic example of somnial swarming, in which symbiotic colonies engage in impromptu choreographies of corporeal exchange.
Recent advancements in colossal biosciences using CRISPR-Cas9 cloud infusion show limited success in the re-manifestation of certain Lazarus species long thought lost to the biological record.
What seems at first to be a display of territorial aggression is really an infant bugbear engaged in "weeping," a process whereby the organism conjures its familiar through projective secretion.
No living observer has witnessed the Blowmorg's saccular bloom at full extension; in this interpretation, waveform cilia in search of food extend via anterior and posterior ventrals.
A young primeval caprid undergoing "liturgical pelting," in which the outer integument is shed not physically but in terms of paragnostic exuberation.
Shown here at the moment of self-imposed pariahdom, when the "white crow" of a brood undertakes evolutionary ascension, leaving the rest of the litter behind.
Ichthyornis chicks, cousins to the Kungpen, performing their "gleet dance", an event lasting for days and ending only when the hybrids drop into the sea, physically spent.
An example of "devotional exudation," a hyper-empathetic response triggered from licking the bark of the dreamtone tree.
The misnamed "asphodel meadows" are actually wetlands and swampy ghostscapes, threshold realms manifesting briefly and spontaneously, unobservable save for lingering pockets of warding mist.
During the mating season a male Shifting Phantom Owl will descend into the torpor of "summer sleep," a self-imposed hypnotic molting state during which melanocytes in the plumage reconstitute entirely.
The curious tree scratchings made by the lesser skunk ape are now theorized to be a form of proto-writing, warning sigils intended for other clan members.
A rare dwarf hazelnut babbit, dreaming in utero and undergoing prehensility erasure, a process of absorption of future-obsolete organs.
A female quake burtle "waking" last year's egg sacs, whereupon the brood will surface and devour her, using her chitinous shell as shelter until maturation.
Noxial tilling by underbugs (depicted here with their side-imps).
A biotic fugue state event, triggered by the sudden manifestation of a wending portal.
A blind polyp guppy returning home after the spawning wars.
An Assumption Beetle enacting a consoling ritual upon a wounded Grin Toad.
The budding of a young Banded Milk Pig in preparation for its molting.
Kelpie dogs and Aztec coyotes are particularly adept at mapping the "undersound" of both breathing forests and woodland shallows.
One of the "bathing boxes" designed by Rowland Ward, dioramas inspired by Ernst Haeckel's "gill arch" theory.
Close-up of a cuttlefish cow, inducing tonic immobility in its prey.
A reinterpretation of Edward Hick's "Peaceable Kingdom," inspired by the 19th c. medium Sister Bernedetta, whose seances produced sheets of ectoplasm depicting animal forms living the "everwhen."
