Thanks for the thread Swills, great post!

It always amazes me how life evolves and assimilates to its environment. There's so much out there that we've yet to discover.

I find this to be somewhat of a mind-bender.

More than 99 percent of all species, amounting to over five billion species,[1] that ever lived on Earth are estimated to be extinct.[2][3][4] Estimates on the number of Earth's current species range from 10 million to 14 million,[5] of which about 1.2 million have been documented and over 86 percent have not yet been described.[6] More recently, in May 2016, scientists reported that 1 trillion species are estimated to be on Earth currently with only one-thousandth of one percent described.[
