what would alien life actually look like?

Biologist Adam Hart and illustrator Memo Kosemen combine their skills to predict what life could look like on alien worlds.

Do we always imagine alien life to be similar to humans. :?:

I imagine some of it to be similar to, or actually be, some of those invertebrate life forms existing in our oceans. Some of it is beyond imagination .

Mayonnaise on everything,


Mostly found in the eastern provinces. By the time you hit the plains and mountains most of the mayo fetish has died out. BTW, some gulf states also slather mayo on burgers, usually ones with a strong french connection.

I like Canadian Poutine

Golden French fries drizzled with thick, brown gravy and topped with cheese curds. Yum Yum...

Not always but most do resemble some human. And, as unlikely as it may seem, most alien species can speak English.

They are also noted for writing some rather poor, no, extremely bad poetry, that can cause lethal results.

Putty. Putty. Putty.
Green Putty - Grutty Peen.
Grarmpitutty - Morning!
Pridsummer - Grorning Utty!
Discovery..... Oh.
Putty?..... Armpit?
Armpit..... Putty.
Not even a particularly
Nice shade of green.
As I lick my armpit and shall agree,
That this putty is very well green.

Maybe Rufus has been trying for quite a while to prepare us for the eventual appearance of aliens from outer space on Earth by showing us the
many different avatars he has used over the years. Maybe the real thing looks like some of his clowns.

There have been several rather good sci-fi stories that have aliens that are not humanoid in any way. Unfortunately at this time I can't name
the stories. Even when it is done I think we still imagine them in humanoid form. IMHO it is hard for us to think of a speck of something
to be sentient.

Those are science fiction creations. Real aliens look like variations on the human form.

Edit 1: Just in case some of you do not know, the alien above, often called, "The Blue Diva," is Maïwenn Le Besco. Yes, aliens have names.
Edit 2: Link to interview with The Blue Diva:. https://youtu.be/0It0w7MJ0ZI
Edits 3, 4: Bunch of edits.

If by chance there did happen to be other life forms in the universe they would have just happened like we supposedly did. What makes anyone think that they would be intelligent ? They would probably be just as stupid as we HUMANS. :mrgreen: :lol: :lol:

I don't think they are more or less intelligent than us Earthly humans.

What would they?
There are 6,000 species of mammals on our planet, and most of them do not look like humans, not to mention the other species, on land, in the air, and in the seas. I don't see why lifeforms from other worlds would follow our physical example, necessarily. What's so special?

Aside from egotism and self-centeredness, I don't see why we would think that.
