As far as I am aware, the animal with the fastest reflexes in the world (as opposed to the fastest animal on earth) is the mongoose, as it is the only animal quick enough to evade the strike of a cobra.

What are species that share a common ancestor?

Answer 1

tigers and lions.


Answer 2


Tigers and lions share the Saber toothed tiger. You can see that there are no improvements from the Saber Toothed Tiger. There is only genetic losses along the path that leads to eventual extinction.


The Tiger is nearly extinct. Lions are nearly extinct. There are 1.5 million species believed to be extinct and 47000 now on the list including 1 in 4 mammals.

There is only extinction as the end result of genetic degradation leading to extinction. There is no evolution.

Answer 3

Modern humans and Neanderthals shared a common ancestor. Humans and chimpanzees share a more remote common ancestor. Humans and bonobos yet a more remote common ancestor. Horses and zebras share a fairly recent common ancestor, compared to the ancestor shared by horses and rhinoceroses. Basically, all known lifeforms have in their genomes evidence of a shared ancestry, suggesting that all the wide variety of modern life stems from a very limited number of early organisms.

Because they do not do what we think they do.

Lemmings are alleged to hurl themselves off cliffs to their deaths, in large numbers.

This is a myth which originated in a film by the Disney company.

They are not extinct because they fit their environmental niche and have no pressures on them which they cannot meet.

Why do some species survive while others go extinct?

An organism lives in a certain place to meet its basic needs. Which brings me to adaptaion,which is a certain trait or ability an organism gets from his/her parents. For example, a giraffe's long neck is an adaptation. In order to survive, a organism must have everything it needs to survive. Such as, plenty of food, and the temperature cannot be too hot or too cold. Hopefully, this is helpful to you. Thank you for listening.

Can environmental factors cause extinction?

OK the last answer wasn't best for the question. Its true that meteors and the ice age contributed to the extinction of certain species but it's not a factor to extinction. A factor of extinction would be more added circumstances like hunting of an endangered species, or lack of a certain food that is key to an animals diet. This could cause the extinction of one animal or sometime start a chain reaction. For example, If a moose is a key part of a wolfs diet and something happens to a key food in the moose's diet then either the moose will migrate to find more of the food or will just die off all together both leaving the wolf with out key nutrients that the moose would provide.... I really hope this makes sense and help you maybe when I find the specific words ill update this answer.

Why did the achatinella mustelina become extinct?

Habitat destruction caused by humans and therefore increased competition with other animals for food caused the achatinella mustelina to become extinct.

The above answer is not entirely correct.

The main reason for the extinctions of not only Achatinella mustelina (if it is indeed extinct) and a large percentage of other native Hawaiian land snails is:

1.)the accidental introduction of rats to the Islands and, more critically..

2.)the deliberate introduction (as a biocontrol for the Giant African Snail, a non-native agricultural pest) in the 1950's of the Rosy Wolf Snail or Euglandina rosea, a cannibal snail which is a voracious predator of Hawaiian land snails.

This, combined with very low reproductive rates (many Achatinellidae give birth only once or twice a year, to single keiki) has proven disastrous for Hawai'i's native arboreal and land snails. In giving birth, the parent snail holds the egg inside its shell and when the baby crawls out, it is a fully formed miniature of the adult. Some (myself included) would liken this to live birth, which gives these snails a humanlike quality.

It is indeed a tragedy that many of these natural wonders (which occupied Hawai'i for millenia before the coming of humans) are disappearing within the span of one human lifetime.

Many of Hawai'i's native forest birds have shared a similar fate.
