    I could say that is an impressive evolutionary feat, but instead I’ll say: Evolution, what the hell is wrong with you? You do know we all came from the sea, you should know 70% of the earth is covered in salt water, why did you think it was ok to devolve the ability to drink salt water but retain the requirement to drink water? Are you Ok? Do you need Jesus?

      Evolution is considered a success if the animal lives long enough to successfully mate and nothing else matters to mindless evolution. At least cats don’t have curly tusks that borrow through the skull if they live long enough like that infamous boar species I can’t remember the name of.

        Success is being better about producing offspring that can grow old enough to produce offspring better* than everything competing for your niech

        *Better is the more optimal rate. Overpopulation is sub optimal
