The other big difference is that they have to get down and dirty,

animals can do similar, like the archer fish, it's still using it's
own mouth).


What are you complaining about?


Both groups (animals and humans) are using the tools they were born
with. As far as animals are concerned, that's tooth and claw. With
humans, it's their brainpower.


Get over it, that's why we're at the top of the food chain.


Not forgetting we are the only species capable of destroying our own planet
that's evolution ;-)


That's brain power for you!


No, I can assure T i m that many other species are capable of destroying
the planet. Plants in fact did.

Before plants, didn't the blue-green algae poison the atmosphere by
turning CO2 into oxygen?


it did and still is, about 60% I think far more than the rain forest do which is full of nasty
biting insects.
