Complete any 10 of these challenges and get the "Challenge Master" badge. Only newly made species will be excepted unless they were on the past challenge list.

#1 - Save the Rainforest
Your challenge is to evolve a "tree" species in the Tropical Rainforest, Temperate Rainforest or Taiga. To be a "tree" it must be over 2 meters in height.

#2 - Hey Buddy!
Your challenge is to evolve species that depend upon each other and co-evolved. For instance plants and insects where plants produce flowers and the insects like bees pollinate them. Choose any 2 species alive and have them evolve in the same biome together and depend upon each other to live. Note you must post both during the same generation. Please do not choose species that are already doing this. In short they should mutually benefit from each other.

#3 - Islanders
Your challenge is to evolve island species. Choose any isolated island. Remember the species must come from a species already living on the island. Remember to use island phenomenons such as gigantism like the Komodo Dragon or dwarfism such as the Pygmy Mammoths.

#4 - Leap Day
Your challenge is to evolve a species that leaps, hops or jumps around. This is to celebrate "Leap Day" on Feb 29th.

#5 - Easter Eggs
Your challenge is to evolve any species that lays Hard-Shelled Eggs or is an Ovivore (aka. Egg-Eater). You get a bonus if it is both. And a double bonus if the eggs are colorful (with a good reason why). This is to celebrate Easter!

#6 - Curiouser and Curiouser
Your challenge is to evolve two "Alice in Wonderland" themed species. However one must be a a "fauna" and one must be a "flora". These can be anything from A Jabberwocky, singing flowers, cherish cat, mock turtle, or even a mad hatter themed species. Try to be creative and be weird! Good Luck!

#7 - Creatures of the Night
Your challenge is to evolve a species that is nocturnal (is awake during the night). This can be fauna (like bats) or even flora (like flowers that only bloom at night).

#8 - Blast from the Past
Your challenge is to evolve a living species from 100 generations ago or older.

#9 - See No Evil, Hear No Evil
Evolve a macro species that has no eyes and no ears.

#10 - Tool Maker
Evolve a species that can uses tools. This can be as simple as using rocks to open nuts or using twigs to into bug mounds.

#11 - Builder
Evolve a species that builds a shelter such as a beaver lodge, termite mound or woven birds nest. Note that simple hole burrows or leafy nests do not count. They must be difficult to make.

#12 - Master of the Elements
Evolve a species that can swim, fly and walk. (Ex. Duck) Bonus if it can live underground too.

#13 - The Big Leagues
Evolve a species over 10 meters.

#14 - Isolated
Evolve a species who only lives on a specific landmark.

More coming soon ...

Yes please do. However try to avoid ones that count for other badges such as evolving a specific kingdom or evolving in a specific biome.

I have a suggestion for Challange #9. It should be evolved from an organism that has eyes and/or ears.

You made it before I made up this challenge so no. Otherwise anyone who made  a big species in the past could have it count. We want new species.

How would we determine if it was a big enough leap?

I guess that will be part of the challenge. Then again a possible example is the Flune => Tumbling Flune.

That example seems not a very big leap at all. They both live in the desert and river. Eat more or less the same thing. And can both roll into a ball.

mini-mes- evolutions of organisms (both fauna and flora) which are smaller than there ancestors

copycats- organisms (both fauna and flora) that have evolved mimicry

the harder they fall- predators that are much smaller than their prey

odd couples- organisms that have sexual dimorphism (both physical and behavioral) , the more alien the better

love, sagan 4 style- organisms that have strange breeding habits , the more alien the better

I thought we were quiet riot- poisonous and/or venomous organisms

the tide has turned- carnivorous flora
