I'm not sure if there is a different purpose in animals other than humans, but recent research may indicate that the appendix is a safehouse for the "good" bacteria that inhabit the intestines.

Well, not all animals are stronger than humans, but the animals which are stronger than humans like elephants for example, is because they have adaptations to be strong which they need to get food or fight other animals to protect their young, food or territory to survive in their environment. Whereas humans rely on other ways to survive like our intelligence, although we are strong to a certain extent.

What can you do that animals can not do?

Considering we humans (Homo sapiens) are included in the group known as mammals, and that mammals are also deemed animals, humans are in fact, animals. So, your question needs to be more specific, as what your question seems to be asking is that "What can animals do that animals cannot do?" (Unless you are directing the question to a tree or something, which I suspect otherwise. ). I assume that you want to ask "What can we, humans, do that is better than other animals?" One of the aspect that humans do better than other animals is that we have more intelligence than other animals, currently. After all, no known animal can built great machinery (or have the need to in the first place).
