Habitat for habitat, animals have out-performed humans unaided by science & technology. Be it in the air or in the water: in deserts or icy wastelands, mountain peaks, caves or the abyssal depths--animals better mankind when it comes to colonising the Earth. Interestingly, they have done it without tools. Animals are amazing by virtue of what they are! And they are so because of their superb adaptations to the environments theyinhabit.
