Surprisingly, it’s been 1.5 years since this was last asked.
I pick Peregrine Falcon. They thrive all across the globe, they’re fast as fuck when they’re in a dive, they’re the cutest killers, but they’re not at the top of the pecking order, which means a lust for life.



Would I be limited to life on this planet? I wouldn’t mind having a go as some alien lifeform on some distant planet.
I don’t think the rest of the universe is that willing to see us spread around, as they’re watching us destroy the single planet we have access to. Human species is considered a bit too dangerous for the health of the rest of the universe.
Just imagining an alien studying a beetle analog and wondering why it’s killing everything within a meter of it and planting only one type of crop that it just uses to stand on.
