Not in others. You are bigger, stronger, and possibly more intelligent than an e-coli bacillus. The little bugger can still kill you! Survival of the fittest also applies to the rabbit and the Bengal tiger. The latter is on the endangered species list, the former is not. Does that mean a rabbit is superior to a tiger? >Worms are insignificant and I can kill them simply because I can. If you are ever offered polar bear meat to eat, make sure it's well cooked. There's an insignificant little worm found in it that causes trichinosis, and it will kill you, very painfully, simply because it can. ## It is one of life's ironies that ## the drag coefficient of a turtle is 0.03
