Expedition Europa
I am in a biology class this semester, and we are required to do a final project. After much discussion with the instructor, and some preliminary research, I have decided to do a small website devoted to conceptual bioforms on Europa, which is the sixth moon of Jupiter, for those who are not aware.
I will be using real biology and will be attempting to create plausible life forms given some criteria.
My criteria: First, Europa has a warm-water ocean below the ice-surface. Second, Europa has a solid planetary core with geothermic activity. Third, life forms will be carbon-based. Lastly, these life forms must make sense, and must work within the environment in which they are placed.
I am not aware yet how complex Europan life will be, but I know that I will not be creating humanoid creatures. These are wild animals, as beautiful and diverse as those on Earth.
