Cows? I have theory about cows.sasquatch99 said:
They are alien warriors sent to battle the grey aliens. They travel from a planet un-type-able and un-pronounceable planet. They like us, so they fight the grey aliens who are hoping to take over our planet.
Hey, it explains cattle mutilations, doesn't it?
I thought is was Manson, but oh well.Spitfire175 said:
I'd be hoping for either squirrels, mice, or any other small and totally adorable rodent. That rules out rats.
I just think it would be cool to see medieval-style rodents running around, battling cats in place of dragons. Read that again a couple times and tell me it's not awesome.
I remember reading about this somewhere and they said that if humans where to die out right now, cats would become the dominate species.
Awesome. A world populated only by little kitties!!

I think your little kitties would be more along the lines of cold blooded killers.Julianking93 said:
But yes I remember it being in UK papers not long ago about how quickly nature would take back human cultivated areas, not much more than a few years.
Dogs would die out because they've become to dependant on humans, Some zoo animals would survive...if they could escape the zoo.
And going back to cats, in places like America where there are tall iron structured buildings the concrete would disapear but the iron "skeleton" if you like would remain, and it is here aparantly where Cats would evolve wings, a bit like flying squirrels to better hunt their prey...crazy right.
(god knows how i remembered that much)
Animals already have sentience, dingbat.
Sapience, on the other hand, they do not have.

Yeah, that might have been what I saw (don't remember the part about cats evolving wings, but okay.) and I remember them talking about how cats would gather around large buildings where all that's left is the "skeleton" and how nature would quickly take back cities.Tiny116 said:
But still, cold blooded killers or not, kitties with wings? How cute would that be
?
Dolphins probably...
Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much - the wheel, New York, wars and so on - whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same reasons.
Cookies to the one that gets the reference.

Sensible/boring answer; primates, particularly gorillas, orangutans and chimpanzees.
Silly answer; cephalopods. Heard of that one octopus at an aquarium? Organised itself around the security watch, slipped out of it's tank and into the next one, ate all the fish, returned to its own tank and when the security guard came around again he was all WTF. Being caught on security camera is the only way they know what happened. Always reminds me of Ocean's Eleven.
