Though first, I evolved according to plan Little enabled me outlive this predator With few permanent armor plates, strong Muscles capable of crushing Anything, bones extremely tough, These serious injuries go beyond My cold-bloodedness. I like my environment, have developed Behaviors to control it, to save energy That can be put to other use An evolved entirety of reason Is why I can go for over a year In extreme shutdown My own tissue will feed On anything it can overpower Extraordinarily adaptable During difficult times, I will scavenge for everything, Digest nothing left behind My social interactions are complicated I primarily lead a solitary life, don’t recognize Vocalization, postures, signals, touch My brain more complex than that of any other A powerful sense of perception The ability to learn, to avoid situations That modify me structurally Adaptations have allowed me to thrive But surviving human encroachment May be my biggest challenge Through habitat enhancement I may be able to ensure these Sophisticated survival skills For years to come

Survival Episode
Though first, I evolved according to plan Little enabled me outlive this predator With few permanent armor plates, strong Muscles capable of crushing Anything, bones extremely tough, These serious injuries go beyond My cold-bloodedness.
