Cockroach versus Gellyfish, Who Will Rule the Earth?
I learned something new today, that maybe cockroaches aren’t the ones ruling the world, but jellyfish may be. Or they’ll rule together when we’ve finally managed to eradicate all other species:
“If humans change the atmosphere and oceans to the detriment of other species,” Kevin Raskoff says, “and we find that jellies are filling in, we will have no one to blame but ourselves. The jellies are just doing what they have done for over 500 million years, and they are very, very good at it.” In a tragedy of our own making, the jellyfish, Raskoff declares, “will just be the messengers. Humans were the ones who wrote that message. We even had the chances to rewrite it over time but
failed to take action.”

Is it wrong that I totally thought this was going to be a Republicans Vs Democrats post?
That’s awesome. Thanks for pointing that to me, I hadn’t thought of it. I guess nature rules us all…
