Ok so my list now are in order.
#1 Cats
#2 Water Bears
#3 Penguins, and not the movie "Batman" ilk.
Yeah, penguins are cool. They never cheat at cards or take the last cheese puff while you’re reaching for it.

Ok, but Penguins can survive in the Antarctica up to 90 degrees below zero, without cloths or shelter. Pretty sure you wouldn't take that challenge, and I am damned sure willing to admit I couldn't do it.

And a penguin can’t build a guitar, while I can. What’s your point?
And most species of penguins are live in temperate climes, a few are even tropical animals.

Um no, 99% of all life that has existed has gone extinct. !% is what we see now.
Evolution HAS survived, yes, but not every species has.
Huge difference between DNA, which would make you correct in all life has it, and species.

Evolution isn't a species, it doesn't have a life to lose. It doesn't die, and it doesn't survive. Penguins do have clothes, and penguins do seek shelter. Human beings are..bar none, the hardest living things going - much to every other species misery.

The best quote I ever saw or heard on documentaries was, (insert random species here) "Humans are good at being humans, penguins are good at being penguins."
You can also say "Black widows are good at being black widows and lions are good at being lions".
Point is, It doesn't mean shit that humans can write Shakespeare. COVID 19 doesn't give a shit about whom it kills. Life is life, our human ability to think above all other life does not make us an apex. It only gives us a different attribute, but not the most important. Our attributes our ours. But in evolutionary history cockroaches and bacteria outnumber humans and have been around longer.

Most animals are pretty good at being whatever they are. Humans are different in this regard. In addition to being good at being humans, we're also good at being what any other animal is, as well.
That's what's gotten all those other animals into so much trouble.
I suppose that we could say that's what being a human is, thats what being good at being human means. We're gp machines from head to toe.

I don't think any life is "stupid". The dinosaurs had no choice via meteor. Dodo Birds had no choice via humans. But if humans think we will live forever, we are fools.
The truth is that humans are the most invasive species on the planet.

Semantics
T Rex is dead.
DNA is alive, and that is all that can be argued. But life morphs and dies or survives over time. But not all versions survive.

I keep whats left of the dinosaurs in a cage in my back yard because their eggs are delicious. I assure you, they're as dumb as rocks.
Yes, we're invasive. How do you think we manage that, as a misanthrope?
If you like water bears.....try these little fuckers out Brian.

Skin spiders. They're all over you, right now.

The most important animals on earth, a not so distant relative of ours. We share 70% of our dna and, not for nothing... this clade invented backbone.
