What species will dominate after humans?

Humans have certainly had a profound effect on their environment, but our current claim to dominance is based on criteria that we have chosen ourselves. Ants outnumber us, trees outlive us, fungi outweigh us. Bacteria win on all of these counts at once.

What animal would be dominant if humans went extinct?

The Ants

There's a good argument that ants rule the world already. Consider this: There are trillions of ants worldwide, far more than there are humans.

The 'immortal' jellyfish, Turritopsis dohrnii

To date, there's only one species that has been called 'biologically immortal': the jellyfish Turritopsis dohrnii. These small, transparent animals hang out in oceans around the world and can turn back time by reverting to an earlier stage of their life cycle.

What animal can outsmart a human?

Chimpanzees. As our closest living relatives, chimpanzees have unsurprisingly shown themselves to be exceptionally intelligent. They also have impressive short-term memories – better than our own. Chimps can remember the location of numbers flashed before them for a fraction of a second.

What species will live the longest?

The journey ends with modern humans as the only surviving human species in the world today.

What is the fastest evolving species?

New Zealand's 'Living Dinosaur' -- The Tuatara -- Is Surprisingly The Fastest Evolving Animal.

Are humans the strongest animal?

The strongest land animal in the world is the elephant. The typical Asian elephant has 100,000 muscles and tendons arranged along the length of the trunk, enabling it to lift almost 800 pounds. The gorilla, the strongest as well as largest primate on the planet, is at least six times stronger than the average human.
