yeah but they cant make webs...or jump...or change color.

[Kirby]

But they can wipe out every pine tree in BC

More adaptable than any person in BC and probably any in Canada.

humans, they can shape thier destinies, re-write history and destroy all other living organism around them in no time (including other humans)...

I will give the frog the thumbs up ,hunter 1947.

Come on gentleman. Have we forgotten about the 4 legged critter than can survive on its on feces whether that be in downtown Vancouver or the frozen north?. Mr Wile E Coyote.

[steel_ram]

Most definately the Cockroach.

[Bow Walker]

Most definately the Cockroach.

a big X 2 on that one!!

[johnes50]

Next to humans, I'd say the Rat.

[Derek_Erickson]

Fish if there smart enough not to get eaten or eat a hook then they're pretty well adapted

[CHilko21]

I'd say shark....they've been pretty much the same since the get go, kinda got it right the first time I'd say

[kishman]

'nother vote for the "two leggers" here....

[sawmill]

Cockroach,they can stand radiation levels that would kill everything else.After that polititians,they can survive scandal and criminal charges that would see us put away for decades.And they walk away with HUGE pensions.

[Chuck]

I was going to say politicians, but they can be lower than roaches at times, so I'll go with the cockroach!

[Browningmirage]

I was thinking shark too, theyve been around forever. See a shark is camoflauged, has sharp teeth that it can regrow, sense things like blood and electric currents.

Another one would be a octopus, they can change colour, some are poisonous, and theyre smart as hell
Only one problem, theyre limited to water.

[Derek_Erickson]

So, are you trying to tell us not to go swimming?

[Will]

It most definately has got to be the Sasquatch.......:|

[Caveman]

humans, they can shape thier destinies, re-write history and destroy all other living organism around them in no time (including other humans)...

Yeah, and they can completely destroy an entire planet, which could ultimately result in there own ratication. H-bomb, nuclear warfare, greenhouse gas, depletion of the ozone layer. Human, probably the most intelligent and stupidest organism on the planet.

i was going to agree with the shark as sharks are immune to all knowen diseases but after wastch that vid i m going with the octopus....

[Jagermeister]

Cockroach! You'll never see them on the endangered species list.

Don't forget the Lawyers.........especially the divorce lawyers:mad: ..........You can tell when it gets really, really cold out because the lawyers have their hands in their own pockets.

About the shark and/or the octopus - pollute their environment and they are toast.

Stop the shark from swimming and he drowns. Although it is tough to sneak up on a shark, as it/they never sleep.

The cook-a-racha:twisted: ............now there's something worth studying. Pollution, radiation, poison, BC Ferry food - nothing fazes these guys. They can live for as long as 2 to 3 weeks with their heads severed from the body. The body will live on as well...ong enough to reproduce anyway.

Speaking about rearing families! There is nothing as prolific as a horny cockroach.8)

Top of the insect chain - and working his way up:shock:

[Creeping Death]

Octopus or the shark....How long have sharks been around???? Oh ya before dinosaurs

Check under the dino's feet........you'll find a few squashed roaches (not the smokin' kind either) I'd like to bet.

[Canuck2]

Some fine suggestions so far, for sure...BUT I think it's pretty hard to beat the plain old ordinary everyday ant.

[scoot]

Vote for the cockroach. Anything that can survive voer a week without it's head, is a tough bugger.

Shark is not far off. I heard that same about them being immune to anything.

[Browningmirage]

Sponges, they just sit there...but theyre waiting, and when their chance comes WHAM no more non-sponges

[3kills]

okay we are all forgettin the most fierce one the.....WOMEN and when they mature and become the WIFE they are even worse...
