After watching my cat play with a chipmunk for an hour, I’m glad I am not the size of a mouse.

“After watching my cat play with a chipmunk for an hour, I’m glad I am not the size of a mouse.”

Ahhh, but in terms of survival of the group, there will be 10,20,- 50 mice to the one cat. So some mice are expendable. But the cat population canot afford the rate of losses the mice population can. It, as a group, will always be a smaller group than the mice.

Survival in terms of the life of a species is suvival of the grouo not survivial of the individual.
