Sorduums

Sorduums are a fictional species from the speculative biology project "Serina: A Biological Fictional Exploration." Within this project, Sorduums are depicted as an advanced avian-descended lineage that evolved on the fictional planet of Serina. They are characterized by their bipedal locomotion, featherless, leathery skin, and elongated, highly dexterous limbs. Their skeletal structure is adapted for arboreal and terrestrial movement, with a flexible spine and strong grasping digits.

Sorduum physiology is notably different from Terran birds, as they possess a more mammalian-like metabolism and a complex respiratory system that allows for efficient oxygen intake. They are also depicted as having a highly developed sense of hearing and an intricate vocalization system, enabling sophisticated communication. Their diet is omnivorous, consisting of fruits, insects, and small invertebrates.

Socially, Sorduums are presented as intelligent and tool-using creatures, often living in communal societies. Their societal structures are complex, with evidence of organized labor, specialized roles, and cultural traditions. The Sorduums in Serina represent a hypothetical evolutionary path for avian life, exploring the potential for intelligence and complex civilization to arise from non-mammalian ancestors. Their development highlights the creative possibilities within speculative biology.
