You call your beloved cat to have his dinner. Sir Scratchy! Suddenly, you hear loud stomping. The dishes on the dinner table clink with every thump. A painting’s fallen off the wall! Is it an earthquake? No, that’s a cat the size of a pony walking into the dining room! It needs ten times as much food as the average cat. And it purrs like a tractor! No, Scratchy, stop rolling, you’ll turn over the cupboard! Well, this is one possible scenario for the evolution of animals in the future. Climate, water, oxygen in the air, and even gravity are factors that influence the course of evolution. For example, scientists predict that some bird species will gradually lose their warm feathers. In the future, they will basically look like sphinx cats with beaks and wings. The same thing might happen to our pets. Gradually, their fur will become shorter until they’re completely bald.

Wait, don’t tell me that life on Earth has bubbled for about 3.5 billion years, and the biggest creature we got is the blue whale?

Animals are so different, but in some ways they are just like us. The only thing is that they show their wants and emotions in a more innocent way. They stay naive and childish all their life and only ask us to love them more.

According to the famous zoologist, Konrad Lorenz, “baby schema” can explain why we find babies, small animals, and tiny objects cute.
