Fitness really has very little to do with survival... unlike luck. All that being mighty will do, is increase your changes of surviving something that probably should have killed you (example: you're just barely fast enough to escape the volcanic eruption, while 90% of your species dies out.)
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
