[003] Insignificance : Euphausia superba vs. Homo sapiens

We ARE the Best...
We means...WE...the best creature of God...Most successful
living being on this universe...The most knowledgeable...
Human Being...Homo Sapiens...'Knowing man'...

Stop! Enough! Give it a break!

You also think like that? Are you stoned or what!
Wanna know the name of most successful living being
on Earth? I mean the 'real' most successful?
Its called Euphausia superba.
What a cool name!

They are a kind of Krill...
Krill...hmmm...what is that...in Bangla its kind of
a 'chingri maach'...in English...they don't eat or know
that kinda 'chingri maach.'..but I can say its like a
small shrimp sorta thing...And Euphausia superba is not any
common krill...its Antarctic krill...

A quote from wiki...
"The most successful animal, in terms of biomass, is
the Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, with a biomass
of probably over 500 million tons, roughly twice the total
biomass of humans(double best than us!). The entire earth
contains about 75 billion tons of biomass. Humans comprise
about 250 million tons (0.33%)."

Another quote...
"Antarctic krill are shrimp-like invertebrates that live in
large schools, called swarms, sometimes reaching densities
of 10,000 - 30,000 individual animals per cubic meter.
They grow to a length of 6 cm, weigh up to 2 grams,
and can live for up to six years."

Oh no! I mean a Krill? The kind that I can squash under my shoe?
The kind I can swallow tens at a time with a cup of soup?
6 CM max in length? 2 grams of weight?
How crashing...my superiority is on the verge of destruction...
The krills are questioning it...
I will commit suicide now...
And so should you all...you self-important Home sapiens...





(I guess I should start rating my blogs...on the scale of 1 to 5...
where 1 is readable for everyone even with least humor and pun...
and 5 is only for the hardcore, super-sarcastic, anti-social
creatures...This one was somewhere between 3.5 to 4...)
