Anyone watch "Extreme Animals" on animal planet?
I LOVE this show. they feature the 10 most extreme animals across different subjects, like size, strength, adaptability, speed, reproduction, etc etc... and compare the qualities from each animal to humans.
Just watched the recent one and the strongest animal in the world.. is the male rhino beatle... it can lift 800 times its own weight... if we were as strong, it'd be like us lifting 65 tons (size of a military tank). The most "adaptable" animal in the world is some type of small worm (i forget the name) - it can survive -300F and +300F, and extremely radioactive environments. When it senses conditions aren't favorable, it loses 99% of it's water, and shuts down its body in an idle state. One was actually found to have been in this idle state for over 120 years, and once conditions changed, it came back alive. crazy shit!  |

A geneticist's wet dream. Incorporate these features into a human DNA chain. Oh the possibilities.

the stuff you just described about that worm is incredible. I've often wondered if there are things that are alive that can live thousands of years but move so slowly or are in a form like the worm was when it lost water, that's it's virtually undetectable by us.
I know that trees can live hundreds, maybe even a thousand years, but I'm talking about 10's of thousands of years. It seems like nature has an example of all things bizarre. I don't even think they know how to categorize a virus as dead or alive. It appears to come alive when it's say in the human body but isolated it appears dead. |

The smaller animals are, they tend to be stronger. There are women stronger than you and me and Tyson in terms of pound for pound muscle, but in terms of Absolute strength we're stronger.
Cool stuff. I love the revelations of science. |
