Life is a vast forest. An un-touched timberland lurking with little crawlers, gargantuan trees, and extraordinary plants and flowers.

For all animals, whether big or small, tall or short, bulky or perhaps, scrawny, the jungle is their source of life but also a dangerous battlefield filled with veracious predators.

When you were a little kid, did you ever think about what animal was superior?

Common answers may be:

  • A lion🦁
  • A whale🐋
  • A cheetah🐯
  • A snake🐍
  • A rhino🦏
  • A monkey🐵
  • A fox🦊

The animals listed above may be big, strong, or have notable characteristics

but are they really the best of the best?

Let’s decide ones and for all, what animal is superior.

Diversity

As we know, this huge variety of animals that compromises all the living creatures on Earth was built on the grounds of an Ecosystem.

We can see the roaring lions, the tall giraffes, and the soaring birds. However, there is a crucial component of the ecosystem that is somewhat unrecognized.

These are the little insects, the plants, and the Earth’s soil. Though they aren’t given much attention, they are key components to the thriving animal kingdom.

The system is not a self-sustaining jungle without all the small and tiny organisms that make it is today.

Bottom line, there is no one superior animal on Earth. They are all important in their own way.

Each with their own specific function in making our ecosystem a beautiful one.

It’s the same for us humans.

We may be the fast cheetah

hysterical monkey

cunning fox

or hardworking ant

What matters is we accept who WE are..

We each are our own special being,

with our own specific strengths,

with our own purpose.

Each of us play a big part in making the world a better place.
