As humans, we do not think about our own extinction. We take more risks than any other species on the planet ~ concerning ~ well ~ everything. And we are the superior species of the planet.
Time and time again animals have adapted to their surroundings ~ combated diseases ~ or die. (That one works as evolution or the fact that man has hunted certain animals to extinction.
A thought provoking article came out today “Facing extinction, Tasmanian devils start sex younger: study” by Randolph E. Schmid, AP Science Writer.
This animal, unable to communicate through use of any language known by humans, has begun an attempt to save itself. That is amazing. An animal ~ smaller and isolated ~ is able to know its species is dying. It is fighting to live. To save itself. The right way. (Not reproducing just to have kids or for a tax break.)
Scientists are still looking for a cure to the cancer killing off the Tasmanian devil. Maybe that little devil knows somewhere along the way, their species will develop an immunity to it ~ through breeding quickly. I mean ~ they are trying to live.
Why is intelligence suppose to be only with humans? Do you speak dog? No. But you know what the different barks mean.

hell yea. nature finds a way. we have messed with it so badly – and it’s still finding a way to adapt. we have not had to adapt because of technology – the diseases, pollution, etc. Wearing a mask or taking a pill is NOT helping our bodies to adapt the changing world. This is interesting.
