I Feel Cheated 
Beneficial characteristics should remain in higher forms and man have them all, but alas,
we have been cheated. Compared to man, a chimp is 6 times as strong; Owls see 100 times better
at night; male silkworm can smell females 7 miles away; Cheetahs can run 70 MPH; a flea can
jump 130 times its own height; the Crotalid snake can sense temperature changes of 1/100 degrees;
the Trilobite's (extinct for 300 million years?) eye has the most sophisticated lenses ever
produced by nature; Toads can fast for a year and ticks, for 18 years and nematodes for 39 years.

I'm not sure how to react to this statement. There are a lot of different living things out there and they are all different. All life on this planet is the product of the same timespan of evolution as every other, they just didn't all take the same path.
